Abstract
A standard circuit unit for controlling standard electronic equipment (such as a power window drive mechanism), mounted on a door trim , is separate from an optional circuit unit for controlling an optional electronic equipment (e.g. a power seat-adjusting mechanism) optionally mounted on the door trim. A switch circuit board is integrally formed in a predetermined pattern on an extension of an input/output signal conductor portion of an FPC body of each of the two circuit units and First and second electric connectors and , provided respectively at distal ends of the input/output signal conductor portions and , can be combined together with a one-touch operation, and operating signals are inputted from a door control unit via these electric connectors so as to output switch signals for effecting the on-off control of the electronic equipments. When the kind of car is changed, only the optional circuit unit is easily exchangeably combined with the already-mounted standard circuit unit
