Abstract

In order to form contact between a control unit and current loads of an internal combustion engine by electrical components through a cylinder head cover which is seated on a cylinder head of the internal combustion engine, a method includes a pre-fixing step for the electrical components, from which step the electrical components are moved into a fixed position directly or indirectly in the cylinder head cover, after the cylinder head cover has been fitted onto the cylinder head, in order to subsequently connect the electrical components to the control unit.
