There is no reset button if you mean like a fuel shut-off switch or fuel inertia switch. Only used by Ford as far as I know. I've never heard of one on a GM product.
The fuel pumps have been located in the gas tank since the beginning of fuel injection systems back in the 1980's. Some GM cars since about 2000 have a special access plate in the trunk area just above the gas tank, for fuel pump module removal. Previously, the only way to replace a fuel pump was to remove the tank from the vehicle. That is probably the case in your van, but check for an access plate in the floor, just above the fuel tank-just above the small opening in the tank where the pump is removed.

The fuel pump relay is under the hood right next to the fuel pump fuse, both are clearly marked. The under-hood fuse and relay center is on the drivers side it is a large black plastic box. I think you will find that you need a new pump and a new fuel pump connector at the fuel tank. Have a trained technician confirm this before replacing any parts, the fuel pump is very expensive.
Open gas cap and turn key forward and listen for the fuel pump hissing noise. If its not there the fuel pump is out. (OPTION) Take heavy object like a club or tire Iron and bang plastic fuel tank in the middle. Several blows will be required. The idea is to shock your fuel pump into working. If it works then get it to a repair shop because It most likely will die again.
If the fuel level is very low and the van is not level it's not going to start even if the pump is good.
When you turn the key to on you should hear a fuel pump noise for 2 to 3 seconds if the key has been off for at least 10 seconds,and when cranking or the engine is running the pump runs because there's oil pressure sending power to the pump.
Have someone listen back at the tank.No Noise?then it might be time for a fuel pump.
Your fuel filter may be just ahead of the rear axle on the passenger side under the van.
But.....if your gas gauge went out and now your pump quit,maybe the wiring back at the tank is corroded?
NOTE: The combination fuel filter and fuel pressure regulator is located on the top of the fuel pump module.
Before servicing the vehicle refer to the precautions at the beginning of this section.
Remove or disconnect the following:
The fuel tank
Any debris around the filter/regulator to prevent contaminants from entering the pump module
The fuel filter/regulator from its rubber grommet by twisting and pulling straight up
CAUTION To prevent damage to the coiled fuel line, ensure the filter/regulator is not more than three inches from the fuel pump module.
The old fuel line clamp, by carefully cutting it ensuring not to damage the plastic fuel line (discard the clamp)
The plastic fuel line from the filter/regulator by gently pulling downward
The filter/regulator from the fuel pump module
To Install:
Install or connect the following:
A new clamp over the plastic fuel line
The filter/regulator to the fuel line
NOTE: Rotate the filter/regulator in the fuel line until it is points toward the front of the tank.
The line clamp to the fuel line using special Hose Clamp Pliers number C-4124
NOTE: Do not use conventional side cutters to tighten this type of clamp.
The filter/regulator into the rubber grommet, pressing by hand
Rotate the filter/regulator until it points towards the front of the vehicle.
cartrigde type is locted at the top of the crossmember just forward of the gas tank on driver side of the vehicle,,,,,,,,non cartradge type located on front of the fuel tank..
Have you checked your fuel filter? If it needs replacement, it will restrict the flow of fuel thereby perhaps creating the symptoms you have described. This needs replacement regularly or it's remotely possible that you could damage your fuel pump which is located in the fuel tank. Fuel pump replacement is very expensive should it be needed (over $650.00 +) Note: As I understand it, the fuel pump is cooled by gas in your tank so it is important to keep at least 1/8 tank of gas in your tank at all times while running the vehicle to be certain you are not overheating the pump and shortening its service life. Anyone capable of crawling under the van can easily replace the fuel filter on most of the GMC Savanna/ Chevy Express models in about 5-10 minutes with just a ratchet/socket combo or wrench (to remove the bracket bolt that holds the filter in place) and a needle nose pliers (needed to squeeze the quick connect tabs that connect the lines to the filter). The correct filter will cost about $16 - $25 at a Walmart store. They are much more expensive at the dealer or parts supplier ($35- $55)!
