Abstract
A vehicle control apparatus is housed within a housing. A cover covers an opening in the housing. Connecting members connect the cover and the housing. A shaft supporting section of each connecting member supports a shaft. A first extending section extends from a bearing in a direction orthogonal to the shaft. The first extending section and the bearing are rotatable with respect to the shaft supporting section. A stopper is not adjacent to the first extending section in the shaft direction when the first extending section is within a first angle range with respect to the shaft supporting section. The stopper is disposed at a position of sandwiching, with the shaft supporting section, the extending section in the shaft direction by being adjacent to the first extending section in the shaft direction, when the first extending section is within a second angle range with respect to the shaft supporting section.
