You need to read the codes. Since your truck is a 96, it should be OBD II and most auto parts stores like Advace can scan the codes for free.

Its not unusual. Mine blinks when im driving, and get this, no actual codes. Just blinking. Its possible. If you got codes just check them out and report back.
