Blower Control Module BCM Rebuild with New Heat Sink

Talk about great luck, the part came yesterday.
Was driving the 04 this afternoon, when the blower stopped, & started a few times, then just stopped.
Looks like just in tine the part arrived but
Garage is still hot, 80+ degrees even now at 11 PM
Got the needed tools to swap the part, laid out.
Will see how things go tomorrow.
Will be needing to assemble the parts necessary to repair the old one.
Anyone have a good source of the parts, with their numbers ?????
That would be much appreciated,

Was hoping to use Mouser, as i have dealt with them before, repairing motorcycles.
Good people to deal with, was hoping to have a single shipping charge.
Order three of each part, that's enough to fix both originals, and the cheap replacement part as well.
Removing, as well as replacing the glove box was a real treat.
The surrounding insulation on it, became a casualty, everything else is well.

The Panasonic EYP-2BN109 thermal fuse is available on eBay.

Why are we looking to rebuild this part when part no LR031677 fits and works?
The point of rebuilding the module with a longer-finned heat sink is to have a module that will last for the life of the car and save $200 compared to purchasing the upgraded long-fin module from Jaguar.

Understood, but at this price, if it lasts another 104,000+ miles, for $40, W T F???
By the time you replace both electrical components, with the heat sink.
How much do you save, & is it worth it ?
I enjoy fixing things & saving money.
But sometimes its just not worth it.
You can just spend too much time, money, & effort.

When I wrote Post #1 in 2014, the cheap modules were not available, so my only options were to purchase a new module at $230.00 plus tax and shipping, or rebuild the old one with new MOSFET, thermal fuse and long-fin heat sink for under $30.00.
I'm happy that another option now exists!
Cheers,
Don

The F1010E N-Channel MOSFET that was used by Jaguar in their XJ8 blower control modules appears to have been custom made for Jaguar as the transistor is simply a house number which can not be cross referenced. Its closest cousin, the IRF1010E N-Channel MOSFET, (NTE 2996), will actually handle up to 84 amps of current, but can not be used in this particular application because of physical disparities (pin dimensions & mounting hole variances).
The NTE 2920 N-Channel MOSFET still seems to be the best substitute in this case as it fits inside the blower module nicely, and will handle up to 70 amps of current. Actually, I would highly doubt that the blower motor would even draw half that.
In addition, the fuse for the front blower motor (which is located in the trunk/boot) is rated at 40 amps so the NTE 2920 N-Channel MOSFET would be more than adequate for this application.

Yes, on the surface at least, the IXFQ94N30P3 N-Channel MOSFET might actually be a better choice than the NTE2920 N-Channel MOSFET which I used in my blower module rebuild. Not only are the physical dimensions and pin layouts of both transistors essentially the same, but the IXFQ94N30P3 will handle up to 94 amps of current as opposed to the 70 amps of current that the NTE 2920 will handle. Great! In the meantime, I'll be happy with the NTE 2920 as it is still more than sufficient in this application. Others might want to consider the IXFQ94N30P3 that Robonz mentioned.

It has with 55V and 75Amp a slightly lower spec, but it is running for a couple of weeks in my 2004 XJR X350 so it might be your alternative too."
That was just the trouble as the original transistor was actually a F1010E N-Channel MOSFET, and not an IRF1010EPBF N-Channel MOSFET. These two transistors were not the same, and I thought that I had mentioned that before. Actually, I believe that the F1010E transistor was produced in limited quantities, and as a custom order only. This was why I used a NTE2920 N-Channel MOSFET in my blower module repair as the F1010E transistor directly cross referenced to a NTE2920 N-Channel MOSFET.
