The wire from the ignition switch comes from the front. The wire 
coming from the rear tells the FI that you're running your starter.

Look for a different wire coming from the front.

If it was the wire from the rear that you energized accidentally 
earlier, that would have caused the fuel pump relay to click. That 
would have been the noise you heard.
