1. Device for detecting signals from sensors installed in a motor vehicle comprising:

  • at least two sensors installed at separate positions in the vehicle and connected by electrical conductors to an electric voltage source and to an evaluation unit, wherein;

    the sensors are connected at distance apart from one another to a common ribbon cable with parallel electrical conductors, at least one which conductors can be connected to the voltage source to supply the sensors with power, and with several signal conductors, the number of which corresponds to the number of sensors to be connected and which can be connected to the evaluation unit and the voltage source; and

    in thatall of the sensors are connected to the power-supply conductor, and each one is also connected individually to one of the signal conductors by use of substantially identical connecting elements onto which the sensors can be set and which are provided at each point where the sensors are to be connected.
