Erm...plug something into the back one and if it works, try that thing in the front one. If it works there's power there but if it doesn't work then there's no power there?

If it really isn't working then check the fuse is ok and if it is, you'll need a 12V test lamp at the very least, but a multimeter is MUCH more preferable because you use it to test for voltage and also for continuity.

Is this with the ignition on or off? Some sockets work with the ignition off and some are deactivated.

The adaptor in the boot works fine as I used a tyre inflator to pump up the rear tyres but the front one would not work will check the fuse when I next use the car later
