Default wiring short- need help

I have a leak in my windshield over my passenger side, it caused a short where when I turn the key on but don't start it, all the accessories work but when I go to actually crank it over, it makes one click like it's a dead battery and kills all the accessories, they stay off until I turn the key back to the off position and try again and it continues to do the same thing, does anyone have any idea what this could be and where to start, my guess is its something to do with my passenger fuse panel but I'm not sure, any input would be great before I go and waste time and money on the wrong parts, Thanks, I haven't had time to even look at it I was just posting this to get some input before I dive in,

Sounds like battery/connection issue.

Just seems weird to me that it was working fine, are you thinking connection at battery or elsewhere
