Detailed Description

This TYC 97040 evaporator core is specified for front-position HVAC systems in 2001-2007 Ford Escape, 2005-2007 Mercury Mariner, and 2001-2006 Mazda Tribute models. The tube and fin design supports refrigerant heat exchange inside the A/C system, while the quick-connect inlet and outlet fittings help match the factory-style connection points used on these vehicles. This part cross-references Ford 6L8Z 19850 AA for the same application.

Use TYC 97040 when replacing a leaking, restricted, or damaged evaporator core in a Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner, or Mazda Tribute with the listed fitment. The part number 97040 is also referenced by several aftermarket and OE-style listings, including Spectra Premium 1054810 and UAC EV 939512PFXC.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

  • Loss of cabin cooling performance
  • Refrigerant leakage from a corroded or damaged evaporator core
  • Restricted airflow through the HVAC evaporator assembly
  • Uneven or weak A/C output from the dash vents
  • Odor or moisture issues related to a failing evaporator core

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the inlet and outlet fitting sizes before installation and compare the core dimensions to the original unit. Because this evaporator core is located inside the HVAC case, replacement typically requires access to the climate control housing and proper evacuation and recharge of the A/C system by a qualified technician. Confirm vehicle fitment by year, make, model, and front position before ordering.

Quality Assurance

TYC manufactures replacement HVAC components for service applications that require OE-style fit and function. Part number 97040 is built to match the listed dimensions and connection style for the specified Ford, Mercury, and Mazda vehicles.
