The relay that sounds for my blinkers, hazards, etc. is making an incessant random click as the ignition is on. The problem started at random, with no warning, As I am driving the relay clicks slowly, then fastly, etc. No other electrical problems ever. What could cause this random "misfire" of my relay/module?

The relay itself could be bad or the wiring/connectors could be corroded/loose.

If you're so inclined, you can test your relay and probe your wiring with a meter. If not, take out the relay and have it tested at a local parts store. If it checks out, then you know your problem is in the circuit.

If I've helped you, please take the time to vote for me as my reputation pays my bills. Thanx, Ernest.
