Abstract
In at least some implementations, a vehicle differential includes a housing having a mounting flange with multiple openings through the flange, an annular gear mounted to the flange by a plurality of fasteners received through the openings, a coil received radially inwardly of the fasteners, and a coupler. The coupler is fixed to the housing and engaged with the coil to retain the position of the coil relative to the housing, and the coupler extends into an area between adjacent fasteners, where the area is circumferentially between adjacent fasteners and radially overlapped with at least a portion of the adjacent fasteners.
