Default ignition switch problem..

The other day when I shut down my c-6 roadster, the engine stopped, but there was a whole bunch of clicking from behind the instrument panl, I coulnt restart it, the clickicking continued for a while, then stopped and I could restart the engine..anyone else experience this?

I think that happened to be once long ago. I think I turned off the engine by pushing the ACC side of the off button instead of the off side.

There is no ACC or OFF side, just lights on those sides. The bottom of the rocker switch is once for OFF twice for ACC. Or once for ACC if the car is already off.
