Which light is blinking? The headlight or the cab light?

It would be the cab light then.

Then John's post above is correct. The cab light is wired to the board output that can be programmed as a cab light, strobe light or smoke unit. For some reason, yours thinks it's a strobe light, but the following reset procedure will fix it:

 

STEP 1: Turn off power to track (and it doesn't hurt to wait a few seconds for the residual power in the electronics to drain).
STEP 2: Move switch on locomotive from RUN to PROGRAM.
STEP 3: Place locomotive on track, then turn on power to track.
STEP 4: Press “ENG” then input locomotive ID#. Press “SET”.
STEP 5: Press ”ENG” then input locomotive ID# again.
STEP 6: Press the “AUX 1” key, then press "6".
STEP 7: Turn off power to track, wait ten seconds.
STEP 8: Remove locomotive from track, move switch from PROGRAM to RUN.
STEP 9: Place locomotive back on track. Turn power on to track.
STEP 10: Press “ENG” and ID#, then operate as normal.
 
Again, this is basically what John recommended above. Also note you should only have your Powered A unit (and not the Dummy A and B) on the track when you do this reset procedure.

 

Hopefully this helps.
