If it isn't bad now it will fail when you need it the most. The clicking you heard is the resettable breakers.
You could also test the outputs with a multimeter.

Hello! have you checked the 20A and 10A fuse on the PDP? we had a similar issue and it was a bad fuse.
In addition to those, I would recommend checking all of the fuses on the robot.
