Ebrake light keeps flashing while driving.

And no the ebrake handle is not being pulled or moving Smile

IIRC the brake light not only indicates the e-brake is on, but also is used to indicate problems with the braking system in general - you may for example want to check your brake fluid level.

I had this problem with my 2000 ZTS, the drum brake wheel cylinders ( I think that's what they are called) leak. Check your brake fluid levels.

most likely, you will need to get rear drum serviced.

rear drum=wheel bearing change as well. BTW, buy the drums from Ford. At my work we've had nothing but headaches using anything aftermarket.
