I have a 95 GMC Sierra 4x4 K1500.....today when I was driving, the ABS light
came one. I have checked the fluid, no leaks, the brakes seem to work
normally, although I dd not have a chance to see if my wheels would slide or
not. Anything else I should check? How do I reset the light if I cannot find
anything wrong? Ideas??

With the lite on, the ABS is disabled. You will need to have it scanned with
an ABS capable scanner to pin point the problem.

My mechanic told me I don't have to have ABS brakes, the normal brakes work
just fine. He suggested to put black tape over it. This is the second
vehicle I have now had with the ABS light that stays on (Astro Van, GMC
Jimmy). My brakes work just fine still. He says he could charge me to turn
off the light and fix the problem, but it would cost me quite a bit.

Your mechanic is FOS, if you have a working ABS light then you have some
form of ABS. Either Rear Wheel or Four Wheel, both were available in 95.

Notice that you state he said that "He says he could charge me to turn
off the light and fix the problem, but it would cost me quite a bit."
What is it going to cost you money IF you don't have ABS..

I would find another mechanic AND have the ABS system checked and
repaired, You do know that with it on IF your involved in an accident
your company can say tough titties, they will hang you out to dry.

I believe you can pull the code thru the ADL connector (OBDI)
It should tell you what is wrong. I had a bad wheel speed sensor on my 95 and this is how I found
it.

is there a fuse that controls the whole thing that I can pull and see if it
resets?

Umm, yes.
But it does a system check each time you turn the key.
I dont know where it is, (my service manual is in the truck, and its 20f out) but It may be in the
under hood fuse center. Just follow the labels.

I have the same thing happening with my 1990 Blazer...had the front
brakes done over after seeing the light but it didn't go off...brakes
work ok but when i last had a tire changed I was shocked to see how bad
the rear brake drums were.....as I usually only drive it short distances
and in the woods........i an not looking to put anymore money in
it....brake place wants over 200.00 to replace the drums and rear
brakes....hoping to get by....I know but the fronts are all new.

could just be a bad sensor too....I have that dig. dash and my water
appears to be over heating too but its not.

Like my body....isn't new any more.

Did anyone get this resolved without a trip to the GM dealer?

I was told that there is a tool that you can get that can be used to reset
the ABS sensor?

Anyone?
