How to get the codes on a 1998-1999 Dakota:
    Depress the trip reset and trip/odometer switches, and, while holding
them, turn the ignition to ON/RUN, and wait about 5 seconds. This
sends the car through a short self-test sequence that lights all
segments of the odometer and shift selector read-out (where
applicable). It will then display the stored error codes.

I believe that this only gives codes for the gage cluster. Has anyone
ever retrieved a "normal" error code using this method?

Thanks,
eric
