   I'm guessing the indicator lights are still flashing?
   
   So it would be the self canceling mechanism not working right.
   If you take the airbag off the steering wheel you should be able to see it.
   Should be easy enough to get a replacement from a scrapyard

   That's strange.
   The ticking is the relay... so you'd assume if it was ticking the lights were flashing.
   
   You could look at replacing the indicator relay.
   They cost about £40 for Citroen mind..

   Common fault on saxos / 106s
   
   And it's quite often humidity in the stalk. Give it a few minutes of the old hair drier trick in there and see if it sorts itself out.

    Heat up the stalk gently for a few minutes, so the (eventual) moisture goes away. Happened to every 106 I have seen and a couple saxos. It genrally solves the problem. If it does it again, check for water leaking inside.
