Default turn signal stuck on fast

(1990)
Essentially it is like there is a bulb out on each side. But there is not. I can hear the relay ticking fast.
I work a lot and haven't had a chance to look at it. Was wondering on where I should start.
Im thinking relay.

Could be a bad turn signal flasher. They are cheap so that could be a good start.

What happens with 4 - ways? If it seems functional with the 4 - ways then I'd do a flasher just to do it! You actually could have a bad socket or maybe just poor contacts in sockets. I'd consider cleaning all of the dried out lubricant in the sockets and replace the bulbs as just a form of maintenance. If you've mixed LL (long life) bulbs with a mix of just what was there it might create an issue. Make all of the bulbs match if you're replacing them.

I've seen turn signals flash fast when the brake and light filaments were shorted together inside the bulb.
