If a fluorescent light blinks is the light bulb bad or the ballast?

I have seen it both ways. Usually it is the bulb which is a few bucks. The ballast will cost more and could cost $15-$30 bucks depending on type. If you have another bulb that is working, swap it with the flicker light and see if the problem goes away. If the swapped bulb works, I always put the bad bulb in the fixture where the good bulb came from. If the bad bulb now works, you could have a seating problem with the bulb. If it flickers, replace it.

Volvo 940 1995 - the cockpit light warning comes up when you switch on the engine and all bulbs are working - How can you clear the warning off?

If you mean the bulb failure light; The bulb failure detector compares the current drawn by the left bulb to the right bulb and lights the bulb failure light if the currents are not equal. I have never seen a bad one. The usual reason the light is still lit after the bad bulb is changed is because the new bulb is not an exact match or the contacts are corroded. Try two new bulbs. Good Luck
