By connect a starter motor backwards I assume you mean put the negative cable where the positive cable would go and then put the positive cable to the negative connection. In that case the starter motor should run backwards. That might be a handy thing to do if you are using a starter motor to power something else such as a winch or maybe a pump.
Is it a new starter motor? It may be incorrect.
That is a statement, - what is the question .
Motor started will have overloads the contactor connect es line voltage.
To install the starter, hold the starter motor spacer in position, install the starter motor-to-transaxle bell housing bolts, tighten it, and engage the solenoid wiring connector onto the terminal. Then, connect the B+ wire, tighten the retaining nut, lower the vehicle, connect the negative battery cable and verify starter motor operation. ÊÊ
motor won't start.
it burns
Remove the lighter gauge wires from the solenoid, and connect full battery power (cable) directly to to the positive post on the starter motor.
Solenoid could be installed incorrectly. Could be electrical connection on the solenoid. Did you re-connect the battery? Could be a bad starter motor...or a stuck starter motor. Sometimes a light tap or two on the starter motor (not the solenoid) with a hammer will free it up.
the magnets in motor were backwards alls good thanks for the help
Vehicle won't start Vehicle won't start when hot (starter drags) Starter spins not engaging flywheel (ring gear)
Remove NEGATIVE battery terminal Block wheels Crawl under car and remove lead wire and two mounting bolts. Slide starter motor backwards from engine. Reverse for installation.

Check the fuses. By hooking it up backwards, you may have blown many fuses, and/or completely damaged the vehicle wiring system, and/or shorted out the starter motor.
