Is it even getting power? Non OE pumps have had a bad reputation for GMs. Connections have been problems and if run low on fuel they can quickly burn out,

Well you have to know if it gets power and ground when it should or what's the point?
Guess: Some of these use a grace period for oil pressure and if not enough detected shut down fuel pump. If you have a warning light only and three wires to sender may look like this.........
I believe that third wire can disable the fuel pump via bad connection or a failure with switch/sender,

Wish I had the software to tell you how to test these things. I don't but know some are involved in fuel delivery. A really good OBDII scan might just bring this out.
Get yourself an LED test light and learn how to use it backwards to test for ground. LED draws so little current to light that if you mess up and hit the wrong wire it's much less apt to cause a problem. No joke and they are decent at $4.96 at Wally World!
GM and fuel bull go hand in hand sometimes. Google out the parts - they sell as many connectors as anybody that go bad too,
