Speedo off and on switch??

[itr #1334]

So I have this switch under my fuse panel. And I never knew what it did sense It was there when I bought the car. So Last night I saw it stucking out of the dash and decided to flip the switch to off( Wasnt driving the car) and nothing happened so I drove off and realized my speedo didn't work at all. Thinking It might have been that switch I switched it back on and Instantly my speedo worked. So my question is why would anyone want a switch to turn your speedo off? I thought about it and can't think of any good reasons.

Would that affect the odo as well?

Yes it does, there's a fuse you can pull that kills your speedo which ultimately turns off your odometer from cranking.

Congrats lucas, your ITR has 400,000 miles.
