So, it blinks 12 which is the start of the sequence, the 32 which is the code, then 55 which is the end of the code output.

32 - EGR solenoid circuit, open or short detected.

So I would check the EGR control valve solenoid electrical connector to see if the wiring or connector are damaged. If the wiring looks good change out the solenoid. Also, make sure the vacuum line is in good shape. Clear the codes by disconnecting the battery once you find and repair the problem. Check out the images (below). Let us know how it goes

It looks pretty straight forward, remove the electrical connector and then mounting bolts then the vacuum lines. Let me know if you have troubles.

You may have a clogged EGR port inside the intake manifold which is common on high mileage engines. There is no fuse for the EGR valve. I would make sure the vacuum lines are in good shape, they can fail can cause this problem. Also, remove the EGR valve and use a flashlight to inspect the intake and exhaust ports for the EGR.

You need to unclog it, sometimes you can use a metal coat hanger and carb spray, other times the intake will need to be removed and hot tanked.

You use it to snake down the port to help break up the carbon while spraying carb cleaner to unclog the port. If you cant do this then I would remove the intake for cleaning, but try to make sure it is clogged first.
