front cig lighter gets no power
When trying to tap into the cigarette lighter power, I used my multimeter to test the voltage. To my surprise it wasn't getting any. My guess is fuse blew.
Where is the fuse for that lighter?

Yeah, check your kick panel fuses. Open the driver door, the behind the panel that is right next to the floor to the left of where your left foot would be. There should even be spare fuses.
Since none of us remembers which one is the lighter fuse lol...just try pulling out all the fuses in the kick panel. If you see a blown one which will look like this

just replace it with a fuse of equal amperage.

Yup, it's a series-distributed circuit between those bay and kick panel fuses. Already been discussed (search) which is why all of us were too lazy to re-look it up.
Keep in mind that the fuse blew for a reason (over spec current draw somewhere). Just changing the fuse may not ultimately remedy your problem.
