ELECTRICAL LOAD FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE

An electrical load, for example and electrical component and/or an electronic component, of a motor vehicle may include a first electrical system part and a second electrical system part for supplying the electrical load with electrical energy from a first vehicle electrical system and a second vehicle electrical system, respectively. The first vehicle electrical system part may be electrically coupled to a diode element for transferring an activation signal to an electrical energy supply unit provided in the second electrical system part. The electrical energy supply unit may be switched between an active state where a supply voltage is provided to the electrical load and an idle state where the supply voltage to the electrical load is suspended.
