Indicator Clicking Noise (bloody Annoying)

[tokai]

After indicating and sometimes from startup i can hear the indicator clicking noise but twice as fast. theres no lights flashing an the indicators are off an all the rest .. doesnt look like there are any fuses blown

while its clicking at me i can put on the indicator or hazards and it slows back to normal speed and operates as expected. soon as hazards or indicating stops the clicking double time resumes and after bout 5-10 secs it stops (sometimes longer)

anyone had this before?

cheers yall

sounds like the flasher is still getting power, but it isn't passing the power on to the lights. could be a dodgy relay.

I found the problem in the blinker switch on the steering column. Once I opened the sterring column up and plastic covers off etc...I saw the swithc arcing out on the copper strips on the side of the blinker switch. I out a big blob of vaseline on the surrounding copper strips and I have never had the problem since. This was a 1 year ago now. It may seem its you relay but double check it in the blinker switch on the steering column 1st. Thanks
