On my old Fairmont, it was as easy as unscrewing the switch to reset it. Dunno about a GU though. Did you pump the brake all the way to the floor? It is always a good idea to place a block of wood behind the pedal so you don't pump it below normal range.

It would be handy to reveal how the issue was fixed mate. Just for reference if others come across the same issue.
