Check coolant level, if its ok, you have an open circuit on the Coolant temp
sensor. The ECU is flying blind and implements the fan and no heat as a
safety precaution.

Or a thermostat that doesn't close can cause all these symptoms. Read
the code that the engine management light indicates is there.
