my 95 did that about 2 months ago. Fix. Replaced the stop lamp fuse that was burnt out. Took me 2 months to look in the fuse box. My wife asked had I checked the fuses. Of course I thought she was crazy. I guess I should consult with her more often as she was a service writer for 11 years.

95 is OBDI, and the diagnostic port is under the hood, on the passenger side. Most OBD readers available today only do OBDII. The older vehicles have been left behind. But, even on those, I think there is a separate procedure for pulling ABS codes..... Procedure should be in the service manual.

Reading thru the 95 service manual, the ABS diagnostic connector is a six pin, blue or black, and is to the right of the steering column. According to theory, it is clipped to the knee bolster..... It does not detail how to pull codes without a DRB3 though.......

We're doing a good job at confusing the OP . The rear wheel and 4 wheel ABS are very different in the OBD-1 years. The rear wheel ABS has the single wire connector under the dash and can be read via blink codes. The 4 wheel ABS has the six pin connector and AFAIK can only be read with a diagnostic tool. 4 wheel ABS was a rather rare option back in the day so I assume the OP has rear wheel ABS.
