Default Wierd Prob! Car runs fine until I touch underhood fuse box

Ive been having on and off problems with my ride. But I narrowed it down.
It something with the under hood fuse box.
My car runs fine, until, I lightly touch the under hood fuse box, I have had to different fuse boxes.
I tried fiddling with the wires that go into it while the car is running, and that doesnt make a difference. It only happend if I touch the fuse box itself.
Ive had two diff fuse boxes and both have done the same thing.
Im so F#$king confused.
Anyone else had this problem/>?????
Any insight

that is a strange one......maybe one of the wires is comming
out of the clip....ehh, proably not. Did you take the
bottum of the case off to see whats going on in there?

Good luck, I need more info than that though.

light it on fire! seriously...put some 92 octane pump gas on the fuse box and then light a match...no dont but that is a really strange problem...hmmm...
what id do is take the whole thing out...take all fuses and everything out..then put it back together that way you know for sure that all the fuses are fine and not loose...just make sure you document when all the fuses went...thats just what i would do...

don't touch it

Sorry had to be done...

Thats real wierd since it's plastic and all. I'd say loose connector somewhere, maybe something tripping, did you ever get water in there?

If you're going to go this route, I'd clean all of the fuse terminals since you have it all apart. Cuz it's like the lotto...you never know.

See it does the same thing with both fuse boxes that I tried in there.
Now today it works and runs fine, two days ago it wouldnt work at all

You have a short somewhere is my guess. The same exact thing happened to me and it was shorting by one of the injector wires touching the fuel rail. From this i was blowing the same fuse over and over again. Let us know if you still having problems .
