  1. headlights stay on for how ever long they are set to via the control centre above your head where it reads temp and MPG etc  after turning the car off, turning lights out and locking the doors the lights are set to either stay on for a further 20, 30 or 60 seconds or you can have it set to off instead, they call it guild you home lights so at night you can see where you are walking going to your house door :) I presume this is what you are on about anyway.

    the heater does come on when engine has or is running, it is to assist the engine etc to warm up quicker and get to temp, you might also find that like mine when you turn it off and hang around the car for a few minutes it will start to sound like a mini jet engine :) does make a few people uneasy, also during the warm up process on cold days you will see a bit of steam from under your passenger side sliding door, this is just the heater don't worry it has a separate exhaust

    as for the parrot kit, I haven't a clue I am afraid sorry

  2. not sure about independents having the right software but one thing you can try is instead of taking the fuse out for a  few minutes, try taking the negative terminal off the battery for a good 15 minutes. Reason I suggest this is that it will do a complete reset and make the IPM (integrated power module) forget any faults it picked up and start all systems afresh. It is a long shot but it worked for 2 faults that my grand voyager had with the speedo needles not lighting up when lights are on and also it kicked my folding mirrors back into action.

    if that fails then go try the software update and you shouldn't be told that you have no choice but to have a full service, just tell them the service was done not long ago by a friend :) can't sell you something that is not needed or required and irrelevant

  3. Fitting aftermarket Stereo to Grand Voyager

     

    As my OEM stereo on my Voyager has recently decided to start to fail
    ( the CD player does not work and the radio need to be retuned each time)

    I decided to fit a aftermarket stereo. I have treated myself to a decent sat nav/ entertainment system, mistakenly I thought this would be easy,
    I purchased a suitable ISO adapter and a facia adaptor,
    I have managed to fit thee stereo but am stuck with 2 problems

    1. I have all the lights on but no sound, I did get the radio to play if I plug the original stereo on with the ignition on then swap the stereo without switching of the ignition, once the ignition is switched off, no sound again
    I found lot of information about other chyslers having amplifed speakers
    has anyone dealt with this issue? there is a link on youtube showing a wire being passed all the way to a relay in the fuse box but this is for a american Town and country, is there a easier solution?


    2. does anyone know what The aerial socket is, is it a Fakra connection, it looks like it but want to make sure before a buying it

    I look forward to any advice i have a all singing all dancing clarion system coming from Amazon in the next few days and would like to fit it asap

    If you do have the amp fitted, then you will have to run new wiring from the radio to the amp and bypass the amp.

    I thought I had posted details for it at some point in the past, but can't seem to find it now

    Regards

    The Amp is behind the trim panel by the rear seats on the drivers side.
    The factory stereo provides a left and right audio to the amp and the amp then splits that front and rear. It's a data connection from the stereo to the amp that controls the fade/balance.

    You'll need to run 2 additional pairs from the new stereo to the amp and join them onto say the rear speakers and use the exisitng wires to join to the front speakers.

    The wiring diagrams https://drive.google.com/folderview?...0k&usp=sharing will show you what wire goes to what speaker
  4. I haven't done my fuel filter yet (only had my voyager a year) but from what I hear it is a relatively easy job to do.

    As for the Gearbox and power steering fluid being the same ATF+4, this is because of the yellow metals inside the gearbox etc and using other oils can cause major damage as it starts to corrode.

    5w30 oil is ok but is more for colder climates where temps fall consistently below -10 Celsius and summer temps don't get very high, it is a Thinner oil so if used in hot temps it can prevent a good seal around moving parts. 

    here for UK I stick to 10w40 synthetic oil as recommended, it covers temps to -10 which doesn't happen here in the midlands :) and gives a better layer of lubrication as the temp goes up but yes you will hear many other people advise otherwise haha

  5. hi there, I normally use another forum which has more users and although I cant answer your question I did come across this post which may help http://www.chryslerforum.com/forum/chrysler-voyager-town-country-21/remote-keyless-entry-fob-17746/

     

    if not then go on this link and post a question there, it will get answered and this link is for voyager owners in UK and USA

    hope this helps and see you on the other side :)

  6. I have a grand voyager 2.5CRD manual  2002 and not long had it, was checking the condition of my air filter when I noticed as I was putting the cover back on that there is a small Tube bit on the right hand side near the main pipe that goes to the turbo/engine. the small tube has a rubber cap that is covering a hole and was wondering why? surely there is a reason and was wondering if best to keep the cap on or off as it doesn't seem to effect the running of the car either way.

     

    I hope that made sense :)

  7. Thank you, Although today it decided that it wouldn't open the boot when I pressed the button on the fob, it pops and try's to open but only opened after the 5th time of asking it, Closes fine though so the I don't think it is the motor.

    Been great to drive though and was surprised to average 45MPG today, I was expecting much worse than that :)

  8. Hi everyone, just thought I would join this forum after buying our first Chrysler, we have got a Grand Voyager 2002 on a 52 plate 2.5 CRD limited manual in green :) Think we got a decent one (fingers crossed) as it runs well and body work is in good condition just a small scrape on the front corner. Only thing is that it idles a little rough but I think it might just need a service, air filter and clean the MAF sensor as looking at the service history it looks like the last owner didn't bother and only did short trips looking at mileage during her ownership. it has 111k on the clock and was serviced every 7k up until 90k with cambelt done at 86k.

    The kids and other half love it already. Anyway hope to use this forum to read up on things I may have missed during my research before I bought it and hope to pick up good fix tips.

     

    Daniel
