Default heating inside the cab

Ive been worried about heat coming from the engine bay inside the cab. When driving on the interstate the engine temp is at 210 most the time. Hot air is blowing through the defroster vents, and my center console where the radio is and all the electrical components get very very hot and i have no clue why. The air conditioning is off or on, it doesnt matter everything still gets hot, i have to keep a window down to not burn up, any help guys?

Does it blow hot air from the vents?? If so it sound like a vacume leak in your heater control. Check the vac line going to the heater valve and the line to the canister in the front bumper.

Don't think '99 XJs have a heater valve.
