When you say it flashes - does it just flash on and off or does it stay on, or show a flash code?
On the newer Fords they show a flash code where there is a Wiki page listing all the results. (whether these codes are still relevant to an older car I don't know)

Most common on the older cars is a 4 flash code- is a seat belt pre-tensioner wiring fault.(If fitted) Either just clean the connectors under the seat or hard wire them.
(I have no idea what your car has as ref airbags, drivers,passengers etc.)

the fault above may well be a failed wire in the clock spring
