Default Now power in cab!!!!

Hey guys I have a 1992 accord with 339,000 miles on it. I recently moved the fuse box to reach the firewall grommet and since then, there are times when my cab doesn’t get ANY electricity. No dome lights, no headlights, wipers. It’s as if the car is off except I can’t start it. The green ring around the key hole doesn’t light up nor do I get the “key in ignition” alarm. Can anybody help me here. I just came to a stoplight this morning and all my dash lights flickered and made a chattering noise and then everything shut off and I couldn’t start it.

I assume that there is a certain wire(s) that now have a loose connection and is causing this to happen. My battery is holding 12V so I don’t think that’s in the picture. I have wiggled the wires under the fuse box and I would get power to the cab. ANY HELP WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED!!
Thanks!

You moved the fuse box. You loose power completely. If you Wiggle the wires to/from the fuse box power comes back.

Most likely you have created a bad connection. And as all power goes out at once I would start at the main power + line coming to your fuse box.

Actually I figured it out after a few wasted hours messin with the fuse box output wires. I recently installed a light bar and I put the relay from the light bar in between the ground wire and the car and that had a loose connection so I flipped it and put the ground wire in between the relay and the car so the ground wire then had a solid full contact to the car panel and it completed the circuit. Thanks for your input anyway!! Much appreciated.
