The flashing is the Air bag system displaying the fault code, if the flashing started without provocation then I would suggest looking up the fault code / codes in the following doco.

Yeah, it depends though on the code....
There are intermittant codes, and hard fault codes (ones that are obvious, and need to be repaired in order to clear the code)... The hard fault ones need to be repaired, and then the battery disconnected for 1 minute or so, then re-connected.... This should initiate a new self test, and clear the code.... Intermittant codes require the Airbag Pin to be shorted to ground, for the code to be removed.
