John -
The system is set up to flash like this when an indicator bulb burns
out on one of the four corners. If a bulb hasn't burned out... it
probably simply means you have some resistance in the system
somewhere. I would check and clean all the bulb sockets, and then
check and clean all the bullet connections in the system. That should
fix it.
