The main power relay is not far from the VR, so you might have bumped 
it and loosened its mounting screw. It's mounted on the backside of 
the driver's side kickplate.

That's must be the TS relay, which can do that sometimes. I've never 
seen this in a '71 however. Are you sure this is a '71. If it's a 
'71, the third digit of the VIN will be a 1. If that's a zero, then 
you have a '70 and this is much more likely to occur with that 
earlier TS relay. Either way, it's not really a problem.
