What are you trying to accomplish by resetting the computer? Different problems require different solutions. For example:
* Engine light is on (Check Engine Light): This indicates a fault code stored in the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). You'll need a scan tool (OBD-II reader) to read the code, and then address the underlying issue. Simply disconnecting the battery won't fix the problem; it might clear the code temporarily, but the light will likely come back on until the problem is fixed.
* Intermittent electrical problems: Disconnecting the battery's negative terminal for a few minutes (30-60 minutes) is often a first step to reset various systems. This allows capacitors to discharge and can clear minor glitches. Reconnect the negative terminal last.
* Other issues (e.g., radio, power windows): These might involve fuses, relays, or other specific components. You'll need to consult your owner's manual to diagnose the issue and find a solution.
In short: Instead of trying to "reset the computer," describe the *specific problem* you're experiencing with your 1999 Chevrolet Express. Then, we can offer more tailored advice.
