    I have a 2012 toyota tacoma with the TRD Sports Package and i removed both ABS fuses and broke the ABS fuse No. 1 in the process. Now that I have both of them out, my ABS light is on, as well as my parking break light. The parking break light is the problem I am concerned about because I would not like to be driving around with my parking break on at all times seeing that it could cause some serious complications to my truck. Is the brake automatically turned on with the removal of that fuse or is it nothing to worry about?

    Can't answer for sure in this electronic age, but you can easily find out if the parking brake is actually on by applying the parking brake to compare the difference. Why not just replace the fuses?

    I do not think the e brake is on, you have to set it to the floor in order to actually press the brakes. Probably the only think mechanically controlled function left in our truck.
