Default Turn signal clicking

My turn signal continues to click for a little while after i have turned it off. the turn light does not blink it just makes a clicking noise. Is this a relay or loose bulbs? Thanks

Probably the relay - it's built into the hazard light button on your dash. Try it in the driveway and listen closely to the hazard button and see if it's coming from there.

I had the same problem a while back. I thought it was the relay, so I spent $90 on it and the problem was still there. I turned out to be my turn signal stalk. Basically, gunk gets built up in the contacts which causes them to falsely activate. Had to clean them, which meant pulling the airbag, steering wheel, and signal assembly out, taking apart the signal assembly and cleaning it with Q-tips and electrical contact cleaner, then putting it back together. Not terribly difficult, but make sure you know what you're doing when pulling the air bag module out. That's the scariest part.
