[V8] coolant temperature fault flashing

Jason is right, the temp light is only there for the coolant level. If the 
car senses overheating, the flashing is in the "self-check" display. Ask me 
how I know :(

I thought that the flashing thermometer was only for the level on the 
expansion tank?  Could be a bad switch?  Try unhooking the switch and 
jumpering the contacts to check - be careful if the expansion tank is old it 
will break when you try this.  I guess that light could come on if the car 
thought that it was overheating - but I don't remember that light being 
there for that reason.  Someone else may remember.  Good luck.
