My new V8Q and it's Questions

Well, I finally found time to get to Boston to pick up the car I bought on
eBay, 2 days before having a baby... after years of saying, "what kind of
idiot buys a car on eBay?"... now I'm the idiot... or not, I hope...

All I can say is WHEEEEEE!  It cruises beautifully in everything from open
road to yucky I-95 beach traffic.  Sport Mode makes it quite a passing
machine, while Economy helped me return 20mpg despite a 5+ hour average of
58mph door-to-door from MA to PA.  It's like driving an office, a really fast
office...

Yup, it was worth it.

Now the repairs and fiddling set in... the ABS OFF light stays on and the
switch doesn't make any difference... the BRAKE light stays on sometimes and
the ebrake doesn't work (I expect the two are related).  I feel no evidence
of any brake problems.

The Bose radio and the phone don't power up.

Time to peruse the wiring info and see what's related.

More important - although it doesn't show any sign of overheating, the temp
gauge crept to 110 today while stuck in traffic (and moved up pretty fast).
I sat it at home to see if the secondary fan would run at that temp, but it
never kicked on.  Any suggestion or knowlege as to the temp at which it will
kick in?

Don't worry, they'll be more questions.

But, for now, WHEEEEEE!
