After turning the turn signal on left or right turn, we hear and see the signal switch shut off but we continue to hear a intermittent clicking sound for short periods when continuing to drive after the turn has been completed. Can we fix this problem by replacing the the hazzard switch located above the radio ? The turn signal relay switch has been replaced last year.

Do you know how to test automotive electrical circuit's using a wiring diagram an a DMM - digital multi-meter ? Do you know what a factory diagnostic flow chart is ? This will not set any diagnostic trouble code's in the BCM - body control module . Looking at factory symptom chart , their is no diagnostic trouble chart for your symtoms . Have four choices .
Hazard Lamps Always On
• Hazard Lamps Inoperative
Turn Signal Lamps and/or Indicators Always On or Flashing
• Turn Signal Lamps and/or Indicators Inoperative
Which one would you use to diagnose this problem .
Or would you just view wiring diagrams an wing it ?

Doesn't have a flasher ,turn and hazard light's are body control module function , or as ford calls theirs , a smart junction box .
The smart junction box (SJB) monitors the multifunction switch position by sending multiple voltage reference signals to the multifunction switch. When the multifunction switch is in the LH or RH TURN position, or the hazard lamp switch is engaged, that input signal is routed to ground.
When the SJB receives an input from the multifunction or hazard switch indicating a request for a turn signal or hazard lamps, the SJB then supplies voltage to the appropriate turn lamps.
The SJB utilizes a protective circuit strategy for many of its outputs (for example, the headlamp output circuit). Output loads (current level) are monitored for excessive current (typically short circuits) and are shut down (turns off the voltage or ground provided by the module) when a fault is detected. A continuous diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is stored at that time for the fault. The circuit will then reset after an ignition cycle or customer demand of the function (switching the component on, 30-minute battery saver being energized). When an excessive circuit load occurs several times, the module shuts down the output until a service procedure is performed. At the same time, the continuous DTC that was stored on the first failure will not clear by a command to clear the continuous DTCs. The module will not allow this code to be cleared or the circuit restored to normal until a successful on-demand self-test proves that the fault has been repaired. After the on-demand self-test has successfully completed (no on-demand DTCs present), the continuous DTC will have been cleared and the circuit function will return.

Sometimes the housing the bulb is in has gone bad try cleaning out the prongs where the bulb goes in it that does not work replace the fixture the bulb goes in had the some thing happen to my trailblazer hope this helps

Hello. You may have a faulty turn signal switch or an expensive relay module. A turn signal switch is way cheaper than a relay module.

Check your bulbs. Almost always your description means a bulb is burned out. Check for good grounds.

Im having the same issue and discovered if I jiggle the key in the ignition while turning the switch I got the blinkers and radio to operate. Shut it off and tried again, they work. but this has happened before and I think its more frequent. Im also thinking worn ignition switch. Hope it helps.

Possibly turn signal relays do you hear the clicking when you have the blinker selector lever on?

I had same problem. You need to change the combo signal switch. I did find a sneeky way to do it without taking off steering wheel & air bag. There are two torx screws holing it on. The one in the front of switch is easy to get to. The other one toward the left under steering wheel is the pain. Get the proper torx bit, the bit should be about 1 in long. Put just the bit in the screw and use a quarter inch wrench to loosen it. This should save you about 1 hr & alot of work. Dont forget to remove battery cables first when working around the air bag (yellow wire)

This is a fairly common problem on the '04 Grand Am.  I recently fixed the problem on mine.  The problem is in the contacts inside the multifunction switch which is comprised of the turn signal lever and windshield wiper level.  If you remove the plastic covering around the stearing wheel (simple just a few hex head screws) you can see the multifunction switch directly ontop of the steering column.  Remove the screw holding it in place and disconnect the several wires in the back.  The whole unit will come right out, you can take in your house and fix the rest.  If you open it up - there several screws required to do this - you will see copper contacts where the turn signal lever touches to indicate its position (left right or off).  Clean this off well with a damp paper towel to remove the grease and reapply some dielectric grease to the contacts.  Put everything back together and you should be click-free!  The problem seems to be that over time the contacts wear down and arching can occur between the contacts, thus confusing your turn signal clicker and allowing it to click at random times.  Cleaning it out gets rid of any metal fragments in the grease and the new grease will act to prevent the arching.

When you select left or right do any of the bulbs come on? If you select left check front and back left side if one of the bulbs did not come on the flasher will not work. Change the bulb that is out. Same with the right. If the fuse for the turn signal is good (check fuse or replace do not use visual, some appear to be good but are not).
The emergency flasher is different from the turn signal flasher. Look at manual for location of turn signal flasher. If you manually lift and lower turn signal control you may hear a clicking under the dash to locate the flasher.
