mine does similar . . . . only blows hot air regardless of where you set the temperature.

theres a electric solenoid valve at the back right of the engine bay which had to be replaced on mine . . . . . . .

ford would be your best bet, i dont think the parts available anywhere else

If it's the radiator fan your talking about, it shouldn't cut in unless your engine starts to overheat! ( so don't expect to see it whirring around like the radiator fans of old did, those were connected at all times with a 'fanbelt' and ran constantly, nowadays they're electric so ONLY work when the engine starts to overheat.)
