No if you disconnect the battery then those lights would be on. Can we have more info about your car. Also any new tires? There could be a problem with your traction control. BUt it is hard to tell over the internet.

Chances are the PCM reset when you pulled the ROOM fuse.
Turn the steering wheel all the way to one side, then turn it all the way to the other side.
The TCS/DSC indicator will stay on for the first drive cycle, I see it all the time after a reset.
Start the car again and see if its still on.

well im was checking them cause my heater doesn't work and while we were at it we checked all those ones no others. but for the turning the wheel part.. does the car need tot be on?
oh and no new tires. its an 2004 sport. 49k miles. i was just checking the fuses to see if they were okay. and when i turn the car back on, the DSC light started flashing and the swerving car looking light is on.

The ignition needs to be in the 'ON' position (not started)
Turn the wheel fully clockwise, then fully counter-clockwise.
This procedure is in your owner's manual on page 5-22

Cause you need to complete the above first.

I just wanted to comment that, when I saw this thread in the index, I thought your user name was "Crapped In Eggs".

OK. Back to work.
