Don't know if anyone has ever encountered that problem before.
Never heard of it.
However, you might want to check it out before it catches fire, ala GM.

It depends on what it is you are tapping lightly.

I found this in a Ford forum:
The flasher relay started buzzing non stop today. If I turn key to IGN, it starts buzzing like crazy and smoke starts from behind the steering wheel. If I turn indicator on either L or R the buzzing and smoke stops and works perfect. When I turn indicator off, it starts again. Hazard lights working perfect also. :aaaahh:

The original poster's Celica problem is likely to be a bad turn signal
switch, whereas the Ford guy's problem is the common and painful ignition
switch failure.
