Default Power outlet tap shuts off when jeep starts

I tried tapping a pigtailed usb c wire to the front power outlet on my 2016 JKU. The usb c power works while in accessory but as soon as the vehicle powers on, the power goes off. I still have power at the outlet though but no power on the pigtailed usb c.

Here’s the wire I’m using.
ELNONE 2PCS 0.3M/1Feet USB Type C Female Pigtail 2 Wire Cable 3A 12V,22AWG USB C Female Plug to 2 Pin Bare Wire Open End Connector Power Cable for DIY Cord with 2-Position Spring Wire Connector

Any idea why it wouldn’t have power when the vehicle is running but does when in accessory mode?
