Changed the DCCV...Now the driver side is blowing cold while the pass is blowing hot?
I tried searching for like 15mins and assume the answer is on here a dozen times, I just can't search.
Changed the DCCV, with the A/C on anything cold, seems like full heat coming out of the passenger side...
What do I do to diagnose the problem?

Thanks...Ugh, that's what I was afraid of...For the record, on the way to the mechanic it blew ice cold...Do you think the mechanic screwed up during the uninstalling/install? (too late for me but perhaps it'll help other members) Geez, the whole point to changing out the old DCCV to a new one was to prevent it from taking out the CCM...

Try this web site...
Bacardi,
www.jaguarclimatecontrol.com is a good place for info. There is
lots of stuff re: DCCV on this forum. I sympathize with you however;
it's not always easy to find (no reflection on the forum)
When my DCCV went out a few months ago, it did fry the CCM.
I sent it off to the Jeff...info on the above web site...and he
fixed the problem. The CCM is above the glove compartment;
it requires removing the glove compartment, then unfastening
two torx screws to remove the module...it's about the size of
a VCR tape. Anyway, the above site will give you plenty of
info re: checking out the module.

Got a quote from Nalley, $1550 before discount for a new RCCM...

How did he confirm the ccm is fine? Maybe they did break a wire. Dccv has power in center, and the ccm sends gnd signal to each solenoid to close. Theyre normally open so without the ground signal on 1 side you get heat. I would pin the back of the connector with a dvom to check signal to confirm either wiring or dccv

Brutal, am I able to test the DCCV's voltage without having the RCCM on hand?

yes, you become the rccm, first go to that quiet place in your mind. Put all the problems in your life aside. Think of the movie tron and electronic. Now that your the rccm you just supply a ground signal to the outside wires of the connector on the dccv. The center is hot with key on and the same circuit as the ac compressor clutch.you can either back probe with small electric probes, or go to the drivers side dash where the facia connectors are. I just down know the wire colors to tell you with out a car or the wring diag. Provide a ground at the solenoids should close. Theyre normally open without power/grounds

Well folks, the fun is over...$749 Lesson learned, do DIY, it's much cheaper...
$90 first new DCCV
$220 DCCV install labor w/coolant
$129 RCCM shipping and upgrade service (which wasn't needed)
$90 second new DCCV
$220 DCCV install labor w/coolant
Total: $749 to simply replace a DCCV before it goes bad...
Problem turned out to be a bad DCCV, I'll try to get my $$$ back but who knows if that will happen...
