Flashing gps light after started

Hey guys just registered with this site in hopes of finding out what the deal is with my truck. I have an 86 f350 that i just replaced the gps relay and the light comes on no problem. The truck starts great but the gps light continues to flash after its started. Amd apparently the gps were just replaced before i purchased it about a month ago. Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks guys.

How long after it is started does the light continue to flash? Does it flash really fast or slowly?

If they are cycling for 10-20 seconds then that's normal and I think is called after glow. It's just the plugs cycling during the coldest part of warm-up and is part of the system.
I'd start it up and see how long till they stop cycling, but not longer than a minute. If they go a minute something is goofy
