Default 2017 Mule 4010 DFI wont start after giving it a bath

I washed out the bed of mule last night. (No issues to date) and gave the motor a minor rinse and went to start it and it cranks but does not start. I checked oil level it was good. i have spark at both spark plugs. all fuses are good. did not check relays.

I downloaded service manual and it tells me how to check the DFI which i plan on doing tonight. Shows different codes depending on how many times the DFI blinks. But it also seems like you only do this if the DFI light stays on. When i turn ignition on i can hear fuel pump working and the dfi light goes off after 2 seconds so i dont know if this is the right test or not.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Trying to get it running before the 4th of july trip. Thanks in advance.

Got home today. Unplugged everything electronic. Cleaned it which didn’t look like it needed cleaned. It Fired up but sounded weak. Only started if gas pedal was pressed. After letting off gas it died.

Solved. In case someone in future has same problem. I sprayed a red can of electric cleaner on every plug I saw as stated above. Made it fire when gas pedal was pushed in. As soon as I let off engine died. Did this 3 times. Fourth time I kept it going. Pulled jumper cables off and drove it for 10 minutes. When I got home it kept idling. Been working since.
