as,
The original version of the Intellichlor could be calibrated, but that has not been the case for 8 years, maybe more... Your 2 year old cell cannot be calibrated.
Every time you clean a cell with MA, you reduce its lifespan a little... Assuming your cell is clean in between the plates, then a flashing cell light usually means the cell is bad.
Just to make sure we are on the same page... As you pointed out, the cell light turns on when the cell is making chlorine and is off when the cell is resting.. about every five minutes or so... I assume your cell light is actually flashing... like a stop light does???
If the cell is only two years old, it might still be under warranty.. I would check with your PB or Pentair.
When the pump is running and the cell is on, if you have a green salt level light, a green flow light and some of the output lights on, then there is little else you can do to make the cell work...
Thanks for posting,

Correct, it’s flashing green like a stoplight flashes. When I unplug it and then plug it back in, the green light will come on and act like it’s working for about 5 minutes, then it starts flashing.
There was no build up on any of the plates either time I used the MA. The very first time the light started flashing there was some leaf parts stuck at the very front part of the cell near the flow sensor.
All of the other lights are green, the salt is at a good level and the flow is good.
