I jump started another vechile using my 2003 Saturn ion now it won't start only winds over

Where did you hook up the jumper cables to the ion? I would start checking fuses. Hooking up the number cables in the wrong spot will blow fuses.

2001 Mazda protege radio and lights in car not working after jumper cable s were hooked up backwards

Connecting jumper cables the wrong wat around most likely has damaged electronic components such as a radio and computer.
Check the fuse box and replace any blown fuses.
If you still have problems then get an auto electrician to fix your car.
