Detailed Description

TYC 97344 is an A/C evaporator core engineered for vehicles that use a parallel flow HVAC layout. The compact core dimensions and block-style inlet and outlet fittings support OE-style replacement in the dash HVAC case, helping maintain proper refrigerant flow through the evaporator assembly. This part is listed for 2015-2024 Ford Edge without dual zone, 2017-2020 Ford Fusion, 2019-2020 Ford SSV Plug-In Hybrid, 2017-2020 Lincoln MKZ, 2016-2018 Lincoln MKX, plus 2013-2016 Ford Fusion and 2013-2016 Lincoln MKZ with parallel flow configuration.

For buyers searching for a Ford Edge A/C evaporator core, Ford Fusion evaporator replacement, or Lincoln MKZ HVAC evaporator core, TYC 97344 provides the specified fitment and connection style needed for service work on these applications. The part number 97344 is also a useful reference when matching the evaporator core to OE and aftermarket interchange listings.

What It Helps Address

• Weak or inconsistent cabin cooling from a restricted or leaking evaporator core
• Refrigerant loss traced to the HVAC evaporator assembly
• Reduced A/C performance in Ford Edge, Fusion, and Lincoln MKZ/MKX models
• Service replacement needs for parallel flow evaporator systems
• Fitment matching for vehicles requiring block inlet and outlet fittings

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s HVAC configuration before ordering, especially on Ford Edge models that require the without dual zone application and on 2013-2016 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ vehicles that use the parallel flow configuration. Confirm inlet and outlet fitting style, core dimensions, and refrigerant line alignment against the original unit before installation. Because evaporator replacement typically requires access to the HVAC case, careful disassembly and system evacuation/recharge procedures are important for a proper repair.

Quality Assurance

TYC manufactures replacement HVAC components for OE-style service applications, and this evaporator core is built to match the listed dimensions and connection design for the specified Ford and Lincoln vehicles. Part number 97344 is supported by the published interchange references and fitment data shown above.
