EVO won’t start

The problem I got is the damn thing just won’t start. I had oil pan off to fix a leak and when I put it back together I’m getting a dead short and the car just goes blank for a few seconds. I can hear the solenoid click and then system goes dead. I put an old junk starter on and nothing shorted but wouldn’t start because starter motor was bad from before. Bought a new starter put it on and the new one does same thing. Clutch in, turn key, solenoid activates, car goes dead. Few seconds everything comes back on and repeat. I’ve looked over everything and can’t seem to find any short that I can see. Any help or direction would be awesome

The battery reads between 12.1-12.3 with car off. And connection are good because I went through all the typical connection. I’m going to try jump starting it just Incase battery is messed up

Ok got it figured out. Not sure how but somehow I must have corrupted my tune. I re-uploaded tune and it fired up right away. I no there is a failsafe in the aem v1s because it did it to me before when a file got corrupted so Incase anybody comes across this problem try re uploading tune.
