Hi, I have a 2011 Range Rover Sport HSE 3L V6, I've got 3 cigarette lighters and am trying to power a basic car dash cam which the power is rated at: 5V 1A through the front cigarette lighter, however, upon plugging it in, I had no power going through the cable, I tried several angles and nothing worked. I plugged it into the rear row and that cigarette lighter worked perfectly!

I did however notice when looking inside the front cigarette lighter the bottom plate looked different to the cigarette lighter in the back row seats? Could someone tell me if their's looks different? Or attach a photo of the inside of the front one?

I'm trying to figure out what fuse is required, and where the fuse is located, I don't have the car manual, so wondered what size/volt/amp fuse is required and whether someone could show me through a photo of the location?

Many thanks!!

Fuse 52 20amp (yellow) behind lower glove box passengers side.

Cheers

Get a dedicated hardwire kit and use the piggy back fuse holder as Col suggests. If you get the dedicated kit it will supply the correct voltage to the dash cam.
Iv'e just done the same for the wife's Mokka (I know, she chose it), Nextbase 222 with hardwire kit. I wouldn't say it was a walk in the park but only because it was awkward to get the fuse out (lost it in the dash, obviously) and then broke the lower glove box hinges (only £6 fortunately).

I did initially mean fuse 52 is the one for the front cigarette lighter, but Oldandconfused is right with 52, when I hardwired dash cam used 52 as Aux feed and 48 as Live feed, I also connected two wires to each of the piggy back fly leads so had a spare pair of wires if wanted to add something else at a later date that need a aux and live feeds. Use long nose tapered pliers to remove fuse, the tool supplied in fuse box is absolutely useless.
