Red cable could very well be hot enough to melt if the starter is engaged too long both trying to start an engine where something else is wrong preventing it to fire up or if the ignition switch is faulty allowing the starter to be engaged maybe at all times while driving the car.
I have seen a couple of ignition switches where the spring back function from cranking position was broken and you had to manually turn the key back after starting the engine so that the starter didn't stay engaged.
Here is something we start to see more on the 9-5 model where the alternator is putting out so much amperage sometimes due to old batteries that it overheats the lugring just from driving and then the alternator has to work harder and harder to charge the battery making the cable hotter and hotter.
