because it does a self check. Should flash for a few seconds then go away.

If it continues flashing, it thinks there is no water in the system....either the header tank is low, or the switch is faulty, or there is corrosiion around the sensor which is "shorting" the switch and sending a low level signal to the dash

Hope this helps
