Ben it's only one light -- it blinks whenever the temp gauge gets a signal
that would send it off-scale.  The coolant-level control module fakes a
high-temp signal to the gauge to make the light blink.

On older vans (probably through mid-'85) the level controller simply pegs
the gauge when coolant level is low -- so it looks the same as if you were
overheated.  On newer ones, the controller sends a pulsing signal that
doesn't make the gauge move noticeably but still triggers the blinker.
