If the temp is ok, and the light is flashing, then it could be the actual gauge itself. I think the light works when a contact is made in the gauge, if the contact arm is bent it may hit at a lower temperature. However, my cab temp light flickers on start up occasionally but once it is running, there are no problems at all

got any pics of it?

My temp light sometimes comes on as well when it starts up.but very rarely.Also when i had just bought it,had it out on a hot day,pulled over for it minute n it just started flashing.thought it was abit dodgy but it went off just as quickly as it went on as soon as i started driving,never happened since.Think its just temperamental,thats y its a girl!!
