Bon soir Gilles,

What year vehicle?  Regardless, unplug the coolant level controller
(#42 or 43, on the 1.9l it's hidden up above the star grounds under
the dash).  If the blinking does not go away, then you have a bad
capacitor inside the gauge *or* your ten-volt gauge supply is out of
spec (10v +/- 0.50).

If it does go away, we'll take it from there.
