Sounds like you are trying to describe the starter motor wants to begin turning as soon as you hook up the battery?
Disconnect the small red/blue wire from the solenoid (should be on the S terminal) and then try to connect the battery; does the behavior continue?
Disconnecting that wire removes the ignition & neutral safety switches from the scenario, this leaves only the starter solenoid. Could be you have a faulty one right out of the box (happens pretty frequently with Chinese-made solenoids these days) so I'd then put your original solenoid back in place and verify that problem goes away.
