The winter light and dash light blinking on a 1997 Volvo 960 typically indicate a malfunction in the transmission or an issue with the vehicle's electronic systems. The winter light may flash when the car's transmission is in a lower gear, while the dash light blinking can signify a fault detected by the onboard diagnostics. It's advisable to check for any error codes using an OBD-II scanner and address any identified issues to prevent further damage. If unsure, consulting a professional mechanic is recommended for proper diagnosis and repair.
