On top of the tank on the left side of the engine should be a black
screw-in plug with a two pin connector. The wiring from that connector goes
into the temperature gauge system and causes the light to flash if the
coolant level drops below the ends of the two electrodes on the bottom of
the plug. Check for a good connection at the connector, or broken wires
around it.
