Start right now, its not the relay!!!
The relay clicks all the time when I use them, if I go a ling time without they stop. If the cars lights are off and I turn them on it causes it to click...and this all started after I installed my HIDs...but we've disconnected them and it still done it
this is on your Mk4? if so, check the plugs on the back of the sockets. They burn out along with the sockets them selves sometimes. The emergency switch/relay does fry also.
I know its not the relay, I swapped the relay from another car,
I think its the stalk I plugged a new one in and it worked...
Sounds like you figured it out! 90% of the time with random turn signal clicking, it is due to a failing stalk, not the relay/hazard switch. ASSuming we are talking about a MKIV
