I have the exact same problem with my 96 Camry and was wondering if you got it fixed?

The repair place that had recently replaced my alternator and battery told me the problem was that the flasher relay had gone bad. It's the thing that makes the turn signals flash, and also makes the clicking noise. They couldn't explain why it went bad, and charged me just for the cost of the part ($41). I had hoped they wouldn't charge me at all, since it was working until they did the other electrical work.
