Just to be sure, check the radiator level first thing in the morning when the engine is cool. The sensors can be a little flaky. Even though I cleaned mine good recently, it has still been coming on from time to time.

Your options are to clean it, ignore it, unplug it or replace it.

I have never seen the low coolant light blink.
