This is usually related to the mechanism that connects the shifter to the ignition key and steering column. I've been working on the same issue, and 1 of 2 repairs seem to be the norm.
As a short term fix you should see if you can gently pry the shift interlock button upward with pliers or a pair of small screwdrivers. Obviously be careful of damage. On this same tack, especially if this is a short term fix, you can remove the center console cover and clean, lubricate, and generally tinker with the mechanism looking for dirt and debris.
If this isn't a fix then the key cylinder generally needs replacement. This is a dealer event, but not too costly for labor.

Yes, the 1997-98 Volvo V90 wagon is equipped with a rear multi-link suspension system. This design enhances handling and ride comfort by allowing for better wheel movement and alignment during driving dynamics. The multi-link setup is a common feature in many luxury vehicles to improve overall driving performance.
To reset the service indicator light on a 1997 Volvo 960, turn the ignition key to the "II" position without starting the engine. Press and hold the odometer reset button until the display shows "0." Release the button, then turn the ignition off and back to the "I" position. The service light should now be reset.
