The once a month answer is retighten the fuse box bolts. They need to be tighter than you think things are going to break, some say 3 click sounds.

You took the fuse block apart, there's a lot that could have gone wrong. The bolts need to be tightened past the point where you think they are tight. Under the flip cover on the side(should be red) there should be a cable going directly to battery positive, and a second cable going to the starter.
