crappy earth somewhere on the trigger side of the relay such that when it triggers, the voltage drops enough to drop below the trigger threshold, which means the voltage increases, so it triggers, so the voltage decreases, so it releases and so on.

Go through the wiring looking at crappy connectors and shite earths.
