what if you shift the vehicle into drive to release the brake, then pull out the EPB fuse, and shut down the vehicle?


I’m unsure, this sounds like it can cause electronic issues… I’d guess the EPB module theoretically could re-initialize by it self - but it also could throw codes and require an Dealer-level scan tool to reset and initialize it correctly…


That would be pretty awful design if a blown fuse caused such a problem
