I wired the ignition wire to the battery wire and now car wont start

Both wires get 12 volts, but at different times so there should be no damaged components. What you may have done though is fed that 12 volts from one circuit to the other one, and the memory circuit is normally a relatively low-current circuit but it would try to feed the higher-current ignition circuit. Most likely all you did was blow the memory fuse. That is usually not listed as that because it taps off some other circuit that is always live. The typical circuits used are the interior lights, horn, or cigarette lighter, and most of the time that memory fuse will be inside the car. Regardless, check the fuses inside and under the hood.

Clicks can be confusing since numerous other relays and circuits will be turning on and off. To find out exactly what's happening, use a test light to measure the voltage on the larger cable on the starter solenoid. You'll find 12 volts there. What happens when a helper tries to crank the engine? If that voltage disappears, there's a bad connection somewhere in that cable, typically at a mechanical connecting point like the battery or right there on the solenoid.

If that voltage stays solid during the attempted cranking, measure on the smaller terminal next to it. 12 volts should appear there only when the ignition switch is turned to "crank". If no voltage appears there, we have to go back to the starter relay to take some readings.
