I don't know about the Focus specifically, but I've had this happen on other cars before. There is a little switch that is activated when the Hand Brake lever is moved anywhere other than the "home' position. Sometimes the lever is now put all the way "home" and sometimes the switch becomes loose so that it is not activated when the lever is moved 'home"......or, of course it could be a faulty switch or a broken wire connection, but probably the switch-lever relationship.
