What to check next
Diagnostic guidance. Suggested checks and possible repairs are separate from the owner's reported results.
Have the clicking source and switch, flasher and lamp circuits checked using the wiring diagram for the actual vehicle. Record when the noise starts and whether operating the signals changes it.
Guidance references and applicability

I don't think its the relay, being an electrician, I know that something has to tell the relay to engage. So I don't want to spend the money on one if I'm not positive that's the problem

Have you found any resolution to this problem because I have the same deal on my 1998 Blazer?

I too have a '98 Blazer and started having the same problem about a month ago, but for mine the clicking stops when I apply the brake, what about with yours? I haven't been able to fix it yet.

ntmeangreen2003...yes my blazer does the same. Applying the breaks and using up that power does stop the flasher from ticking. I still don't have a solution though...

Discussion summary
flasher relay?
The owner reported constant clicking from the flasher area while the turn signals still operated. The owner wanted testing before replacing the relay. Other participants described similar symptoms on their vehicles.
Reported outcome: The original owner did not report a repair.
Another participant's observation that braking stopped the clicking does not establish that behavior on the original vehicle. A faulty relay was not confirmed.
