Default some newb questions...

how do i work that phone thing left on the steering wheel or is it just there?? how do i know if i have abs b/c there wasn't no fuse for it when i checked? also, i'm guessing my alternator is going bad b/c the battery light is on and when i unplug the neg. wire the car dies and plus i charge the battery every 2 days b/c that's the only way i get to work, plus why does everytime i turn on the car there is a beeeep sound coming from under the passenger seat (i think)..does a 180 amp alternator sounds good b/c i just bought one off ebay 2 days ago? thanks!

I would not buy anything electrical from ebay I got burnt 2 times, once with a A/C compressor and another time with a rack and pinion with no way to return it!! (the seller would not answer mail or calls and then just dissapeared) find a reputable junk yard or rebuild.

The phone is a far cry from bluetooth or anything like that. Quite frankly, its useless in 2007. The beep is from the car phone letting you know it is ready for action every time you start up.
