HI,
Can you get at the wires that feed it from behind and see if power is getting there? If so you know it's a faulty lighter unit then. If no power then can you trace the wires back to the fuse box?
Failing that, maybe get some new wire of the appropriate rating and a new fuse and holder and run directly off the car or leisure battery if you have one. This is going to be far easier than routing from the rear one, and you can then use both at the same time if needed without the risk of blowing a fuse.

Take out the rear and try it out in the front.

Do you mean the opposite? (Take out of front and put in rear.)

Dont make any difference.Just testing if lighter is faulty.I do mean the whole lighter not just the part that heats up.
