Default car wont start

3 days ago I decided to pull the procharger off my 05 manual coupe, change the oil in it an clean it all up.
while I had that all apart I also decided to wash my engine. after getting it all nice an clean an everything put back together I tried to start it, after 2 or 3 attempts it finally fired up.
the next morn I went to start it an nothing, everything lights up but when I press the switch the dash goes blank until I release it or release the clutch. I charged the battery an even took it to be checked battery is fine, I even cut those garbage battery terminals off an put new stinger terminals on still nothing 3 days now car still wont start any ideas? possible starter got wet an fried? or perhaps the starter not even getting any juice ?

You may have gotten all the electronics wet as they are located under the battery area.

ok finally got her back on the road after checking any an everything I could think of turns out it was the shift to reverse switches. after replacing both switches she fired right up it had nothing to do with the wash. wish I had known those switches could shut that car down like that dam gm smh.
