Default Get it checked out at 3,000?

Time to give the AU a clean, so i usually move the focus out and park the AU sideways in the garage. Cleaning a black car in the sun can be a bit of task. Went to start the focus (2,600 k's on the clock) and I get a series of loud clicking coming from the direction of the battery. So I stopped. Went to try again, and it was dead. No doors, lights, radio or nothing. Strange me thinks. So I figure new car warranty, lets give the dealership a call where i was told, they don't offer a break down service, call ford's special service. Couldn't be bothered. I got NRMA assistance, so I'll maybe call those guys. Tried the engine again, same deal. Yes I know I should have given up first go round and stop trying. But never say die. Anyway, it just sounds like the power isn't getting a clean connection so I rips the plastic battery cover off, and I'll be dammed, both red and black terminals, the little nut is just about off both of them. So I tighten her all up, and away we go. Anyway, can the clicking cause a problem to the cars electrical system. I don't know much about the bits and peices, but would it have damaged the computer and wiring? I'm due in a week for my 3,000 service, so maybe I should mention it to ford, or don't you think its even worth it?

Now I got reset the radio because its askin for the code. So I think it might have been like this overnight.
