Hit the fuses box, car stalled

Accidentally hit the fuse box with "my left foot" (man I loved watching that movie ) when was stepping out of my 87 924S while car was idling and I guess some shor was done, my engine shot down . Tried to restart but it was just cranking. Then I hit lightly the box again but no help. Two, three times... still won't start.
What did I hit?

I had an early 924 (77 I think) with the fuse box under the driver side dash. I believe the fuel pump relay had a fuse stuck onto the top of the relay that could easily be dislodged by bumping it. If I were you, I would check first to see if there is any such relay with a fuse and replace any missing fuse or if you simply knocked a relay loose (try simply re-seating the relays).

That could be the reason. Gotta go diving folks I think there is some loose connection for turn lights too. My emergency lights flashing but turn lights on both sides do not work. Dash light stays steady green either if I switch left or right turn.

Funny thing happened today.
I was able to start the engine, it run for a minute, two and then I heard "puff" where fuse and relay are and engine shut off. Tryied to restart it won't. An hour later started again and again same sound "puff"??????

On the early 944 and 924S cars, there is a likelihood that you may have a burned terminal on the connector at the back of the fuse box that is burned. That terminal is usually the fuel pump power.
