TYC 97039 is used in the HVAC system to transfer heat from the cabin air stream so the air conditioning system can deliver cooled air through the dash vents. The tube and fin construction, along with the listed core dimensions and quick connect ports, support a direct-fit replacement approach for service on Ford Explorer, Explorer Sport Trac, Explorer Sport, and Mercury Mountaineer models. This part number, 97039, is also referenced by aftermarket and OE cross listings for the same vehicle coverage.

What It Helps Address

• Weak or inconsistent cabin cooling
• Refrigerant leakage at the evaporator core
• Restricted airflow through a damaged or corroded core
• HVAC performance loss in front air conditioning service
• Replacement needs after evaporator contamination or internal failure

Installation Notes

Verify the vehicle’s HVAC configuration before installation, especially the ATC note on 1998-2001 Ford Explorer and 1998-2001 Mercury Mountaineer applications. Confirm inlet and outlet dimensions, quick connect style, and core measurements against the original unit before reassembly. Proper evacuation, leak checking, and refrigerant recharge procedures should be followed after service.
