Default 05 6 speed ls2 doesn’t turn over

Hope i could use some assistance with this. My car has been giving me this issue for some time now. I swapped out the starter with a brand new one, installed the column lock bypass, new battery, and new battery connectors. At one point i got it to run just enough to get it back home but the gauge cluster was having misreadings and i kept receiving “check coolant level” and “change oil soon” but all thats okay as well. I Tried plugging in the diagnostics scanner but almost fried the scanner itself. I don’t know what else to do and i really just rather fix it myself than to take it to a mechanic. Anything helps, thanks.

I plugged the scanner in and it began to flicker and even the car started to flicker and dim out a little if that helps! Thank you for the welcoming!

Step one, check the battery terminals (tightness and connection ) , battery voltage .... what errors on the scan tool.

Try wiggling the wire bundle running from the driver's door to the car. I had that issue in an 04 C5. Also check all the ground straps - these cars are notorious for having corroded grounds.
