Mk3 ac compressor issues

Hey guys
I have a 2013 focus se manual transmission car
Bought it with 14k back in 2014 fast forward to now and it has 94k on it

Recently I noticed that my ac wasn't working properly but it was winter so no huge deal.

Checked my fuse and the ac fuse was blown, so I change it and then smell a burning smell, immediately pull the fuse, come to find that the wire going into the compressor had melted , pulled the plug on it and found it totally black ok the inside.

Has anyone seen something like this before, I can easily go to a junk yard and get a new compressor for under 100$ and get a pigtail for it but is there something I may be missing on what could have actually caused this and maybe the compressor isn't actually bad?

Thanks
