12v Accessory sockets

[xbox360]

Can the 12V accessory sockets be made live permanantly for my phone charger and cool box? I have a 2005 model transit.They used to be permanently live in my 2000 transit

Yes

fit the accessory socket in the lower holder on the passenger side of the dash. Above the socket is the Central junction box....(thats the fuse box) find a live feed and go from there using a suitable fuse.

You could do the same for the normal power socket.

Remember to use cable thick enough for the application and use the correct size fuses to protect the circuits.

Transit doesn't need much excuse to discharge the battery, i'm not sure I'd want to be leaving things drawing current 24/7
