There may have been corrosion between the cable and the connector. When you had a large current draw, as in when starting the engine, it created a spark and that generates heat. So much heat that it melted the cable. Just get a new one and replace it. good luck.

the starter may have shorted out, be careful checking it out with a fresh battery and new cables, no clamp ons
