Subject:"stella" no sound,no start

hello everyone,

yesterday,  i returned from a 4-day road trip with my '87 westy and it ran
like a champ.  i even had splurted that comment, with much pride, to my
girlfriend sitting next to me before we entered a gas station to fill up
only an hour away from our final destination, salt lake city.
after i filled up, i turned the ignition and...nothing.  the dash lights all
came on but no sound, no start.  i looked at the battery(less than a year
old)and asked someone for a jump with no results.  i proceeded to look at
the fuse box and i jingled with the relays and tried starting stella again
and she started.

did i do something right or was it coincidence that i got it started, and
had nothing to do with the relays?
