ABSTRACT:
A vehicle trim panel of electrically non-conductive material is mounted to the interior of a vehicle door assembly. An exterior surface of the panel includes a decorative trim and an interior surface includes at least a first electrical connector and a second electrical connector. The interior surface also includes grooves interconnecting the first and second electrical connectors. A fluent polymer and an electrically conductive metallic powder are integrally deposited and adhered to the grooves of the trim panel to define electrical circuit for electrically connecting the first electrical connector to the second electrical connector. The electrical circuit preferably includes a number of spaced apart circuit traces which feed electrical current between the electrical connectors to a number of electrical components.
