 Having a flashing turn signal requires the ignition switch to be on and the turn signal switch to be engaged, or wiring failures to simulate the activation of both switches.  Multiple failures are not impossible, but are rare.  It's far more likely that the Hazard function was activated.  Were any other lights flashing?  If not, are any of those bulbs still good?  In what position is the Hazard switch? 

The 'relay' you mention should be the hazard flasher or turn signal flasher.  Either can be replaced with a generic US-made flasher of the appropriate sort (IIRC the type numbers are 552 and 555, don't recall which is which).  These round flashers are readily forced into the existing spring mounts for the rectangular Lucas parts.
