Ford escort red dash board light

Why does the light continue to flash after starting the car and driving off?

which light red or orange

oil,handbrake and ignition/alternator. but check oil level could be very very low

could be fan belt loose

As Steve says, but the important thing is to check now, or get someone to check for you. If your oil level is very low, you could ruin your engine. If the battery is not being charged, because of a loose fanbelt or some other reason, you could be stuck somewhere with a car that won't go.

I have a Peugeot 106, the handbrake light kept flashing and it was because of low break fluid, I know other cars do the same thing!

Hi.

It is none ofthe lights mentioned. It is the 1 below the clock, which I beleive is the alarm/immobiliser light. I just wondered why it carried on flashing for a little while after the car was started and i was driving. Unfortunately, I do not have the hand book.
