UK , live 12v scoket wiring, remote coding

[bigsteve1635]

Hi all

I am trying to find out how to make the 12v scoket live at all times, the manual says that the main dealer can rewire the fuse block to do this, can anybody tell Me how to do it,

Also due to the Voyager going to my Villa in Portugal and it being borrowed by friends and relatives, I want to add a couple more remotes to the car already have 2 working, but can I add more and if so how do I programme them, the car is a 1996, 3.3,grand voyager SE,

Last but not least getting a knocking noise on bad bumps from the front of the car, sounds like bad shocks, but have fitted new ones and to the rear, the bottom ball joints are good, sway bar links are OK, sway bar bushes seem OK although they sweak a bit, could it be the front engine mount as this seems the have the engine bolt dropped right to the bottom of the rubber almost touching the steel bracket.
its done 96,000 miles

regards from Tonbridge in the cold UK

Here's what I would try. Remove the Cigar/Acc Relay in the PDC under the hood and take a small wire jumper with male disconnects like the picture and connect it to pins 87 and 30 in the PDC where the relay was.

Noise-consider replacing all the motor and tranny mount/s.

I'm not sure on the remotes yet.

wiring makes sence to me. I will try it.
Waiting on main front engine mount to come in from the US, it 45% cheaper in the US than from a UK dealer even after the post costs ????.

Many thanks

Front end Clunking is usually the suspension bushings on the anti-sway bar, and the pads on top of the Struts.

And the struts themselves will clunk if they're bad enough, but it's probably the bushings.
