but if it was loose i still dont know how it was powering the fans and stuff...

If it was loose it was probably still making contact, just poor contact. You could transfer enough power through the bad connection to run accessories, but not enough to crank the starter. Trying to flow full power through the loose connection is also most likely what melted it in the first place. Get a new terminal and install it ASAP.
