BDFHYK 8L8Z19703A A/C Compressor with Clutch For Ford Escape, Mazda Tribute V6 3.0L 2008-2011

BDFHYK 8L8Z19703A Car AC Compressor with Clutch for Escape / Tribute / Mariner 3.0L

If your Ford Escape, Mazda Tribute, or Mercury Mariner 3.0L V6 is still used as a commuter SUV, family vehicle, or older utility car, weak A/C in traffic can make every drive uncomfortable. The BDFHYK 8L8Z19703A car ac compressor with clutch is built for selected Ford Escape V6 3.0L 2008-2012, Mazda Tribute V6 3.0L 2008-2011, and Mercury Mariner V6 3.0L 2007-2011 applications. It is worth considering after diagnosis when the vehicle has warm air, intermittent cooling, compressor-area noise, clutch not engaging, weak cooling at idle, or oil / refrigerant traces near the compressor.

Why This Escape / Tribute / Mariner Compressor Fits the Buyer Need

• For 3.0L V6 compact SUV owners: focused on older Escape, Tribute, and Mariner drivers who want A/C restored without guessing on cross-brand fitment.
• A/C compressor with clutch: useful when the compressor and clutch assembly are being replaced together.
• Shared-platform fitment: these Ford, Mazda, and Mercury vehicles can look similar but still require OE number and physical compressor matching.
• Pre-purchase clarity: compare OE numbers, compressor body, connector area, ports, clutch setup, pulley area, and mounting points before paying for A/C service labor.

Fitment and OE Numbers to Confirm

• Ford Escape: V6 3.0L 2008-2012.
• Mazda Tribute: V6 3.0L 2008-2011.
• Mercury Mariner: V6 3.0L 2007-2011.
• OE / interchange references: 8L8Z19703A, 9L8Z19703A, ZZCA6145Z, ZZD46145Z, 815562, 68672, 67672.
• Physical match: compare compressor body, clutch face, pulley area, mounting points, refrigerant ports, and electrical connector area with the original unit.

Common Escape / Tribute / Mariner A/C Problems This Part Is Considered For

• Weak cooling at idle: may involve compressor output, condenser airflow, fan operation, refrigerant charge, or restriction.
• Warm air from vents: may be related to compressor wear, low refrigerant, leaks, pressure control issues, or wiring.
• Intermittent cooling: may involve clutch cycling, relay behavior, pressure switch behavior, control signal, or compressor wear.
• Clutch not engaging: may involve the clutch coil, fuse, relay, low-pressure condition, or compressor failure.
• Compressor-area noise: may come from clutch wear, bearing wear, belt drive issues, or internal compressor damage.

A new auto ac compressor can only help when the compressor or clutch assembly is the confirmed failed part. Diagnose refrigerant charge, leaks, airflow, belt condition, and electrical controls before purchase.

Before You Order

• Confirm the exact Escape, Tribute, or Mariner model, year, 3.0L V6 engine, OE number, and original compressor layout.
• Check compressor shape, clutch setup, ports, connector area, pulley area, and mounting points against the original unit.
• Ask the installer whether condenser, receiver drier / accumulator, expansion device, hoses, relays, pressure controls, or system flushing should be handled at the same time.
• This is an OE-style aftermarket replacement, not a Genuine OEM or Official OEM part.
