Blinking Service Light

After I did my head gasket job I have a blinking service light.

What is the process to have it stop blinking?

Thanks

Blinking check engine light or the actual service light?

Actual Service light

AFAIK, the SERVICE interval light only comes on for two minutes
after start up IF it hasn't been manually reset after an oil change.
Never heard of the SERVICE light blinking. That sounds more like
check engine light behavior. Steady, regular blink?

Bottom right hand corner or the one just to the left of it?

I think that i read somewhere that flashing service light means that instrument cluster is at fault.

You have OBDI diagnostic ports under the hood....check the codes for instrument cluster.

I faintly recall that someone else had that problem a few years ago. I'm not sure if they were able to fix it by pulling the battery for a few minutes or if they just removed the bulb. That lamp is one that I pull out and smash just to make sure it can never come on again.
