The difference between the 3025-P and the 3015-P is the pin locations of the wires on the orange connector. The reason for this is because the orange connector on 3025-P is wired to work on most GM vehicles from 1999-2002, such as your 2000 Chevy Pickup. The 3015-P is wired to work on most GM vehicles from 2003-2006. The orange connector on both harnesses are the same, but the pin locations for the different wires are different.

It sounds like you have 3015-P and the wires are not making the right connections. An easy fix for this would be to re-pin the orange connector so the wires are in the appropriate locations.

What you will be doing is taking your (if you have one) 3015-P connector and wiring it up the same way as the 3025-P connector.

If you are looking at the back of the connector where the wires are coming out, with the clip on the left side, you will notice that the red wire is in the top left position. You will need to move the red wire from that position to the bottom-right position.

To get the pins out of the connector you will need something skinny like a small slot screwdriver. You will take the screw driver and push up on the little clip on the connector side of the connector, this will release the wire so it will be able to be pulled out of the back of the connector. To put the pin back into the right connector, you will simply push the wire and pin through the back of the connector until the lever clicks into place.
