A connection terminal 9 of a cable 8 is fastened to a right area of a terminal block of a relay box 1, using a bolt 26. At this time, a connection terminal 6 of a power supply cable 5 is not connected to a power supply-side terminal 11 or a relay terminal 15, and power is not supplied from a battery to power seats. Then, a tab 30 provided on the connection terminal 6 of the power supply cable 5 is inserted into the relay terminal 15 from an inlet 19, and the connection terminal 6 and the relay terminal 15 are electrically connected to each other temporarily. Thus, operations of the power seats are checked.

It is aimed to provide a plate-like conductive member connection structure and a plate-like conductive path capable of reducing the number of connecting components. A plurality of plate-like conductive members (11) having conductivity and insulating members (13) configured to cover the plate-like conductive members (11) are provided, and the plurality of plate-like conductive members (11) are connected to each other by terminal portions (12) respectively provided on the plate-like conductive members (11). According to this configuration, since the plate-like conductive members (11) can be connected without using a connecting component such as a wire, the number of connecting components can be reduced.
