check the handbrake is fully off and that the switch on the handbrake is not stuck.

A regular blink would suggest something has been detected by the micro to bring your attention. Some brake pads have an electrical contact to signal end of life, it may be ABS related etc.
The handbook, or someone knowlegeable here should show. Needs your immediate attention of course being brake-related.

Have a look-see if there is a wire going to the brake pad area. Then see if the pads are abnormally worn down. I had an older Mercedes 300D using that idea, and there are connexions between Chrysler and Mercedes...

That was my first thought. Had the same problem on my daughter's Peugeot some months ago.

remove all electric plugs that goes to brake pads, light should change to always on, if this happens them you have one or more brake pads in end life, you just need to find out what ones.

My daughters brake light came on, only when braking,as the contacts came into contact with the steel disc.
