Default Clicking relays

Driving along and once in awhile, one of the relays in the glove box start clicking and the little green headlight, light, in the upper right corner of the dash starts to flicker. Bad relay? Or something else. Thanks.

Most likely is the start of a failing multifunction switch.

If messing with your hazard switch causes it to stop clicking, then I would try replacing just the hazard switch first. It is fairly easy to do.
