I have a 1998 Camry. My directional light and click correctly when I tun them on. When I GENTLY turn off the directional signal, I hear the relay continue to click, however the dash lights do not blink, nor do the outside lights. If I let the directional lever jump back into place, the problem does not occur. Is it the switch in the colunm, or the relay?

I would assume since when you move the turn signal stalk you here clicking and when it releases on its own it does not click, it’s the switch in the column.
