October 2000 FireInjury

When car is off, my front and back headlights constantly click on and off. I here a clicking sound in the fuse box. With the constant on and off, my battery dies. I am taking my vehicle to the shop today but was wondering is this an electrical problem. I often heard that the vehicles always usually has electrical problems. I never noted a recall or complaint before but would like a response to whether this problem is common.
