Tested and works for
Hilux Surf KZN130 & LandCruiser 80 Series
(Have exactly the same Speedo/odo)
After searching around trying to find a method to put a switch on the odometer but having little luck here is a write up how I did it.
Remove the instrument cluster then remove the speedo gauge. Flip upside down and locate the 6 pins for the stepper motor that controls the odometer/trip counter.
Break the electrical path between the middle set of pins and the resistor. Can be cut with a sharp craft knife.
Next solder 2 wires one to the resistor and the other to the middle 2 pins. I wired this to the suspension switch on the dash as I have upgraded to aftermarket shocks and no longer needed.
With a dap of silicone to hold the wires in place on the circuit board the gauge can be reinstated and cluster/dash put back together .
