Jaguar s type help! No heat from vents

Problem solved,
i ordered a used blower resistor off ebay for 23 shipped. I was looking at the shop time on replacing one and it shows 6.4 hrs. Im guessing they want you to remove the dash to get to it.I was digging around last night and found where it plugged in. So I u plugged the old one and plugged in the new one and it works like it should now. Instead of removing the dash to get the old one out i just tucked it up behind the glove box. I know its not correct but it works.

I have one concern with the replacement blower motor controller. I think it's an electronic module, not a resistor pack as on many other vehicles. This is an important distinction, as a resistor pack can get very hot. These are typically mounted inside the ductwork so it is cooled by passing airflow. I think the location also keeps the heat safely away from any items that could burn, such as paper trash that might get kicked behind the dash. Although a location like that is a good idea, any debris that gets in the duct can still burn. I've had pine needles get trapped and smolder in my pickup, for example.
The part shown in the photos has big heatsink fins. That suggests to me it gets warm but not super hot. Was the original one mounted with the heatsink inside one of the ducts? If so, I'd suggest keeping a close eye on it to make sure it doesn't get excessively hot and create a fire hazard. I don't think it will, but it's worth checking to be safe.
Thanks again for the update.

I found lots of corroded contacts under the hood and it was preventing my supercharger pump from running.
Im still trying to get ac but I am doing it logically

This is J hoodied,
The heat is working now. I unplugged the DCCV and the heat started working, then I plugged it back in and it's still working. However, now I have a new problem. The radiator fan is running hard. I bleed the coolant system as best I can, but after about 10mins in idle, the fan starts to run hard. If I blast the heat, it'll calm down. So I'm wondering why the sensor is getting so hot as to cause the fan to run hard... it didn't do this before I changed the DCCV.
Any thoughts out there?

Hot air only when set cold
I have same problem after changing DCCV and can't find any break in wiring. At wits end I connected 12vit battery to 3 pin socket .centre negative and both coils and spindles are operating .so fitted two toggle switches into ashtray with 12volt feed and direct to spare plug .original disconnected.so now can switch heat on and off manually and control temperature with fan speed.job done
