OP.. please note, gfci outlet has "Line" and "Load" connection terminals, as well as Hot brass screw and Neutral white screw, green ground.
Edit, yes, bad ext cord or what was plugged into extension cord.
Now. With the breaker ON, push the gfci test button. Does the outlet trip? If yes, great, push the reset button.. if it doesnt trip.. then the outlet is either bad or wired wrong.
