Abstract
A draining member protrudes from both openings of a through-hole in a vehicle control device. It has a pair of spaced elastic members extending from a connection. The connection has a width smaller than a width of the through-hole. The width between the elastic members varies from the connection toward their ends, reaching a narrow portion smaller than the width of the through-hole via an increased width portion greater than the width of the through-hole. A leg portion beyond the narrow portion has a width greater than the width of the through-hole. A minimum distance between a location where the width between the increased width portion and the narrow portion matches the width of the through-hole, and another location where the width of the leg portion is equal to or greater than the width of the through-hole, is equal to or greater than a thickness of the housing.
