Abstract

A plurality of switchable contacts are provided on a relaying printed circuit board for centralized relaying of signals between a vehicle per se and a switch unit; a plurality of contact change-over members for connecting and disconnecting the switchable contacts are mounted on this printed circuit board; a drive member oscillatable from outside to inside of a box-shaped housing is fitted to each end of the housing in a lengthwise direction; the printed circuit board is fixed to an outer part of an under face of the housing to cause the contact change-over members to face the inside of the housing; the drive members and the contact change-over members are engaged with each other to oscillate the drive members; and the switchable contacts on the printed circuit board are thereby changed over.
