Abstract
A differential assembly includes an outer differential carrier and a differential case disposed in the outer differential carrier. A ring gear is attached to the differential case using fasteners. An electronic actuation mechanism locks and unlocks the differential assembly. The electronic actuation mechanism includes a stator positioned in a stator housing and an armature. A wire harness is connected to the stator supplying electrical power to the stator. A wire guide is attached to the stator housing. The wire guide includes an attachment section attached to the stator housing and an anti-rotation section. The anti-rotation section contacts the outer differential carrier. The anti-rotation section includes a wire receiving portion positioning the wire harness in an area away from the ring gear and fasteners. A removable cover is attached to the differential assembly, the removable cover is positioned about the electronic actuation mechanism and wire harness.
