Method for the tactile detection of a position of at least one electrically conductive component of a vehicle part, in which a vehicle part to be tested is releasably secured to a test adapter, comprising the following steps: - moving a test probe from a starting position (P S) on a predefined path (x) in a first movement direction (X 1) in the direction of the vehicle part to be tested until a contact element of the test probe makes contact with a component of the vehicle part and this contact is detected; - determining a first test position (P P1) of the test probe at the time of contact; - moving the test probe from the first test position (P P1) in a second movement direction (X 2) back in the direction of the starting position (Ps) on the predefined path (x) up to a return position (P R); - moving the test probe from the return position (P R) in the first movement direction (X 1) until the contact element of the test probe contacts the component of the vehicle part again and this contact is detected; - determining a second test position (P P2) of the test probe at the time of renewed contact; - moving the test probe in the second movement direction (X 2) from the second test position (P P2) to the starting position (Ps); - comparing the first test position (P P1) with a first setpoint value (Sw) or a predefined first tolerance range (T B1) around the first setpoint value (Sw) and/or comparing the second test position (P P2) with the first setpoint value (Sw) or with a predefined second tolerance range (T B2) around the first test position (P P1) and/or comparing a difference between the first test position (P P1) and the second test position (P P2) with a predefined third tolerance range (T B3), wherein a piece of error information (I F) is provided when a result is outside of one of the predefined tolerance ranges (T B1, T B2, T B3) in the comparison. - moving a test probe from a starting position (P S) on a predefined path (x) in a first movement direction (X 1) in the direction of the vehicle part to be tested until a contact element of the test probe makes contact with a component of the vehicle part and this contact is detected; - determining a first test position (P P1) of the test probe at the time of contact; - moving the test probe from the first test position (P P1) in a second movement direction (X 2) back in the direction of the starting position (Ps) on the predefined path (x) up to a return position (P R); - moving the test probe from the return position (P R) in the first movement direction (X 1) until the contact element of the test probe contacts the component of the vehicle part again and this contact is detected; - determining a second test position (P P2) of the test probe at the time of renewed contact; - moving the test probe in the second movement direction (X 2) from the second test position (P P2) to the starting position (Ps); - comparing the first test position (P P1) with a first setpoint value (Sw) or a predefined first tolerance range (T B1) around the first setpoint value (Sw) and/or comparing the second test position (P P2) with the first setpoint value (Sw) or with a predefined second tolerance range (T B2) around the first test position (P P1) and/or comparing a difference between the first test position (P P1) and the second test position (P P2) with a predefined third tolerance range (T B3), wherein a piece of error information (I F) is provided when a result is outside of one of the predefined tolerance ranges (T B1, T B2, T B3) in the comparison. comparing the second test position (P P2) with the first setpoint value (Sw) or with a predefined second tolerance range (T B2) around the first test position (P P1) and/or comparing a difference between the first test position (P P1) and the second test position (P P2) with a predefined third tolerance range (T B3), wherein a piece of error information (I F) is provided when a result is outside of one of the predefined tolerance ranges (T B1, T B2, T B3) in the comparison.
