Default scort Van problem

Hi Guys

Just changed a clutch on a MK5 94 reg Escort van yesterday and it wont start

I have connected the battery and all of the electrical connections that were removed when taking gearbox off

I did origionally wire up the starter motor incorrectly and it sparked and started burning. But the engine doesnt even tick over - it is almost as if the battery negative is disconnected, but it isn't

I also noticed on the starter motor there is a small wire running from the battery that connected to the starter solenoid, the circle end of it has come off but there is still metal on it that contacts the starter solenoid. could this be the problem?

Any help appreciated - No clue what I've done & I've never had this problem in the past I've changed dozens of clutches
