Abstract
A method for predicting immanent damage to a connecting point between two electrical conductors in a motor vehicle electrical system is disclosed, wherein a value of an electrical variable is ascertained that is at least related to an electrical resistance of the connecting point, and wherein the prediction of the immanent damage is made depending on the value of the electric variable. The value of the electrical variable is repeatedly determined while the motor vehicle electrical system is in operation while an operating current of specified operating current strength flows through the connection point.
