Odometer LCD Fuse

I was just wondering where the fuse is located for the LCD screen under the fuel gauge. I checked the inside and out side fuse boxes but couldn't tell which one it was. Im really just looking for a way the shut the screen off for a while. Im driving to VT tomorrow for the day to pick up some ummm *cough* *cough* and dont want people to notice that I drove almost 300 in a single day.

no way to do it since the LCD is connected to the cluster. You could buy a new cluster, use that and then swap the old one back...

so the cluster is the one that actually stores the odometer readings? I thought it would be somewhere else.

It's stored in the ECU and the cluster. If you connect HDS to the car, you can read the mileage. BUT if you get a new cluster the old mileage won't appear. You need to retrieve it via HDS and write it on the new cluster. I don't think that HDS can over-write mileage that's already on there, it has to be within a certain threshold.
