on my 90 Van this would be a malfunctioning coolant level sensor... replace
it for about $10.

Subject: flashing temp light

Dear List,

The overheat alert light in the water temp gauge of my 83.5 is flashing
constantly, though the gauge does not indicate overheating and the coolant
level is full. Could this be linked to the malfunctioning wiper switch?
Other ideas?

Thanks,

Woody
