Well, the clicking sound is most likely the circuit
breaker for the interior lights.  However . . . do the
lights flash when a door is open, or does this
"phenomenon" occur when all doors are closed?

Either way, there's a problem in the electrical
system.  Again, you'll need a '71 shop manual (it
comes in two volumes -- chassis and body) to help
diagnose the problem.  The wiring diagram for the '71
dash takes up four pages in the manual.

Also, there was no factory security system available
for '71.  For a full list of the '71 options, please
