Default Crossed wires

While replacing front brake calipers I noticed the speed sensor wires were disconnected. I spliced them together (Possibly, accidentally backwards) now it won't start. It won't even turn over now i don't know where the wires run or if anything shorted out. Is it more likely that I messed something up or the starter or a sensor went bad?

It cranks, but won't start, or does it not crank (turn over)?

If it's on the speed sensor, you should have an abs code.

Disconnect the sensor and check for a blown fuse.

There is no crank, and no the clicking of the starter.
Is throwing a camshaft position sensor code, but I haven't had any problems before this

Reverse what you did with the wiring, see what that does. It could be a coincidence.

So now it's throwing 3 codes
1 is the engine speed sensor
2 is crankshaft position sensor A
3 is camshaft position sensor a bank 1
