Glad to hear it's a myth Mike. Couldn't imagine how it might do that. It appears I did solve the problem, thanks to other list discussions, I tried tightening the nut in the center of the temp Guage and it stopped blinking. Turned it a little more and it started again. So I pulled the instrument cluster and removed the center nut (ground i believe) and saw that the copper ring under the nut was broken off right where the line goes into the plastic ribbon. Since the clock doesn't work, I removed the ground wire from it and attached it to the temp guage. Seems to work. Turn on key, light blinks. Start engine, stops blinking. Unplug coolant sensor and after a few seconds starts blinking. Thanks for the help.
