FWIW - I had an intermittment flashing coolant level light that I finally traced to a pinched wire (one of the pair of leads from the sensor). The pinch had broken the insides but was allowing them to come into contact some of the time (no flash) and separate some of the time (flash) due to heat, vibration or whatever. Don't recall the precise location where they got pinched... somewhere down below the coil.
