Default Clicking noise from Fuse box

Hi

Today I removed the fuse box and unplug all the plugs underneath the central electric panel.
To add some wiring for the speedo meter signal after the C4 to C2 conversion.
When I placed everything back, I turn the key to position one and I hear clicking noise from one of the replay.
And car can't start just kept cranking, seems lack of fuel or ignition.
So I waited for about an hour then return to the car, turn the ignition on.
No clicking noise from the relay.
And the car starts then stalled.
Then restart again, then car starts normally and drives.
My question is, is there a explanation to this?
I am just afraid it happens again.
Thanks

Maybe your DME relay was struggling to exist and the upside down time and movement of the fuse box made it worse.

Does the DME suffer to disorientation?
The car behaves normal after I left the car sat for about an hour later.
Makes me wonder what is the mechanism inside the DME relay now.

They are just the most common item to fail in that fusebox. I’d be suspicious of it if I moved around the fusebox and then had a no start issue.
