Hi, new to the site.

I have a 2011 4x4 yeti which has the haldex control unit stolen at some point in the last few weeks. When I called a local garage after the fault light appeared I was told he had 6 reports of stolen units in the last week.

I've sourced a replacement but during the theft the two connector plugs were damaged. The 8 pin is intact enough that I can easily tell what goes where for swapping it out but the two pin has disappeared along with the unit so I've no idea which terminal is which.

I can see what appears to be a white and a yellow wire for the 2 pin (yellow is snapped and may not be long enough anymore so likely need to solder the connection)

Can anyone offer guidance on this please and maybe any advice on how to secure it in future? Considering dropping some solder into the bolt heads at this point.

Thanks

Not heard of anybody stealing these before, must be a good demand for these units and I imagine the ground clearance is good enough to remove them without raising the vehicle.

 

You will have a challenge heating up the head enough to get solder to stick, filling them with Belzona or Epoxy would probably achieve what you want a lot easier but will of course make life difficult if you want to remove it later down the line.

Came across this the other day which shows it's been going on for a while.

 

 

I've had mine stolen from my 2013 4x4 Yeti recently too. Annoyingly because it was nicked, I don't know what part number to look for to get a new one. Also, in the 2013 models, anyone know if I can just buy a part and straight swap it, or does it need coding to the vehicle?

 

Cheers

Hi, got a replacement from haldex repairs, for about 350. I'm going to assume yours would be the gen 4 like mine, but you can double check on the site. The gen 4 is just plug in and good to go, assuming your connectors are ok. I had to replace one which I picked up from eBay for cheap.
