You are correct, the Plug-N-Tow (TM) Vehicle Wiring Harness, item # 32625, only plugs into a connection point on the driver side on the vehicles it is confirmed as a fit for. This is because Jeep has already run all the necessary wires to that port for you, so you do not have to run the wires across yourself, as you would have to with other models that plug into both the driver and passenger taillights.

The issue you are experiencing is due to the fact that this harness is designed for newer Wranglers than yours. For your 2000 Wrangler you actually need to use the harness # 42615 or one that runs to both sides of the vehicle part # 118409.
