Thank you Josh for the suggestion. I have tried to turn it all the way to
the on position, like it would be if it were running, and I have tried this
once and it didn't work. I will try it again later tonight when I get back
to the house. Thanks again for the suggestion. Any other suggestions??

To get it to display the codes you need to do the key on/off trick.
Depressing the trip/odometer button only tests the cluster, it does not
display codes.
To do the key on/off trick, start with the key in the off position and turn
it on-off-on-off-on that should get it to display the codes in the
odometer.
It works on my 2000 but from what I understand it doesn't work on all
years.
Good luck!
