Pontiac sunfire - clicking then service light comes on????

My car starts fine ... then I put it in reverse (or neutral or drive) and I
hear a clicking noise coming from the fuse box, (if I remove the fuse panel
cover, can also feel the click in a 1" x 1" black relay) my daytime running
lamps flash, and the "service" light comes on. Seems to drive fine (in my
parking lot) but weary of going to far. This all started two days ago.
Looked under the hood. A wire that comes off the started had broke. Had
that fixed and the car worked fine yesterday. But started acting up again
today. The wire is still attached. Suggestions????

Unless you have a good wiring schematic and understand it, you need to
take the car to a shop that is good at diagnosing electrical problems.
Since you don't name the relay, I'm guessing the latter case.
