Most likely it is electronic but by disconnecting it you will most likely cause the CEL to come on. Why do you want to disconnect it?

Duh...To save miles.

You can do it, but the only way to keep it from rolling miles is by unplugging the entire cluster. But then you won't have any gauges.

Easier yet. Look on ebay for a cluster with low miles. Drive yours as long as you want, then swap out the cluster when you want it to read less.





*Sidewayz doesn't condone this kind of fraud, but when one asks of my vast ridiculous knowledge I tend to give the advice needed.
