Matt:
There are two reasons why the light will flash.
I>The temp sender. There are two senders. One for the gauge and one for
the computer. 
II> The coolant reservoir level sensor. When the level falls BELOW the
two contacts the light will flash. I have heard that the incorrect
antifreeze-to-water ratio will affect the light also.
 I would also check the voltage stabilizer in the instrument pod and the
ground clusters behind the fuse block
