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.

If the light continues to flash after addressing these, consult a mechanic for further diagnosis.

Where is the hand brake warning light switch?

The hand brake warning light switch is typically located near the hand brake lever, either on the lever itself or mounted on the mechanism that engages the brake. When the hand brake is applied, the switch is activated, illuminating the warning light on the dashboard to alert the driver. In some vehicles, it may also be part of the brake system's overall warning system, ensuring that the driver is aware of the hand brake status. Always consult the vehicle’s manual for specific locations and details.
