Cable melts because of heat. That heat can come from two sources. Either the cable is directly shorted with another side of the power line, causing extensive heat and load on the cable to the point of failure. The other way is through overload of wattage on the guage size of the wire. The lower the guage number, the greater the capacity to carry higher wattage electrical loads. If there is a 'bottleneck' in the flow of high wattage loads through too-small wires, they will heat up, eventually melting all insulation.

Can a cut cable wire cause a fire?
If by 'cable wire' you mean Coax cable for the TV, or Internet, then the answer is no. The power/voltages in the cable are way to low to produce a spark which is usually what triggers flame. If by 'cable wire' you mean a cable carrying an electrical service such as 120V or 240V, then, if the cable is damaged by an accidental or deliberate cut which causes a short circuit from a hot phase wire or wires to other wires in the cable - such as to other hot phase wires in a 3-phase circuit, a neutral or a ground wire - then the resulting heavy current could result in the cable becoming very hot and could cause it to catch on fire unless there was some overcurrent protection device to prevent that from happening. That is why fuses and/or circuit breakers should always be included in any electrical service wiring to cut off the supply of current before a fire can be caused by such damage.

What would cause a speedometer to start bouncing at 20 -25 mph?
the LACK of LUBE or Graphte on the speed0 cable IF it's not an electric sending unit type. The speedo cable spins inside another cable. Moisture will cause rust after a few years and this will cause the speedo cable to start to drag and release. If you remove the cable from the back of the instrument cluster and squirt in some graphite, this should help with the bouncing.
