most likely because the fuse provided to me is really bad.
my other issue was the red wire (circled in blue) isn't actually that long.
It's provided at the same length as the grounding lug wire.
I had to splice in a length to avoid crushing it with the fuse box cover like
OreoJeep appears to have done (circled in magenta). I ran mine behind the fuse box at the firewall.

You can always add some length of wire of the same guage to give you more distance. Routing the cable to the "back" of the fuse box is a good idea. I persoanlly notched the fuse box a little to let the wire pass without being crushed or crimped.my other issue was the red wire (circled in blue) isn't actually that long.

F43 or F45 (ignition) will work
If you don't have a meter or a test light, just change the fuse and see if the outlet works. If you verify the fuse is good, or change it with a new one and it still doesn't work, you have a broken or disconnected wire somewhere. If the circuit is open (which isn't likely), you'll need to physically trace the wire from the fuse box to the outlet to find the break.I took it out and looked and it doesnt appear to be blown.
How would i check if the circuit is open?
My entire dash area (where the cig lighter is) still lights up and everything. Is that a good sign somehow that this is an easy fix?
You can always find replacements for this at auto parts stores or an online search, if it needs replacing.
