Here's a pic I just took from the driver's side. The area circled is where there's a light coating of fluid.   

Did you have the software update that resolves issues with the rear diff making rumble noises?   I had some of that on left & right turns, randomly, and that solved that issue.   Can you see where the leak is coming from?   - Is it from the connection to the rear diff?   - Is it coming from on top of the rear diff?  There is typically a breather hole on top of the rear diff to allow for expansion of air in the rear diff as the oil heats up and expands.  Remember the rear diff is not completely full.   - Did you drive through something that makes it look like the rear diff is leaking?   The above procedure does work on a 2020 but I suggest you make sure where the leak is actually coming from before you tear into this project.

I have a 2020 Edge and it's starting to make the rumbling sound when making a slow right turn. I crawled under and noticed the front of the rear diff is a little damp with oil. Is that also indicative that the Active Torque Coupling Unit is starting to fail? The video above is for I think he said a 2013 is the process the same for the 2020? Thanks for any help.  

These C suckers just dropped my broken car off at my house, no paperwork, no phone calls or explanation. NOTHING!!!

What's the correct rear diff fluid for a 2020 Edge and where did you get it from? Thanks

The screws are needed. I bought a used wheel off eBay to make the switch on mine. The switches are held in place by the screws. The wiring harness had the connectors in place and I didn’t have to swap it out. Just the back cover and the switches.    I will also say that in my ‘22, the shifts aren’t instant like in my Miata. There’s about a 3 second delay from when pulling the paddle until the transmission responds. I’ve learned how to time the shifts, but it did take adjusting to it before enjoying using the paddles. 

Kids have been in camps and I haven’t had a chance to even look at this again. Not sure if I’ll be sanding my “new” to me cars windshield anytime soon either. Wouldn’t mind knowing if everything else was there wiring wise though. Maybe someday. 

How did this go?   The below thread shows some detail posted by @Wubster100
