The radiator fan may not be blowing.
Idle car with parking brake engaged.
Turn OFF Air Conditioner
Pop open hood and look at the radiator fan.
It is not spinning.
Turn ON Air Conditioner and look at fan.
The fan MUST be spinning.

Replace the "Radiator fan" relay switch.
Check primary fuses and replace as needed.

Make sure the cooling fans are coming on when the engine gets hot.They should come on when you turn on the A/C. Or the radiator fan switch should make them come on at around 212 degrees. The switch could be bad.
