I think it got mad because he was sitting in a line at the car wash and just kept getting hotter and hotter. J/k

Glad it was something relatively easy to fix.

Default Overheating

Check the fan relays (3 of them). Don't rely on the noise level to assume the fans are both tunning . The dealer who worked on mine assured me they were both running. You can't see the driver's side fan from the top but if you stick a probe of some kind in from the back side the noise of the fan striking the probe or the absence of noise will tell you if the fan is or is not actually running. A small stick from a tree will work nicely. If the driver's side fan is not turning but the passenger side fan is turning. check the most inboard of the 3 fan relays ( it has 5
prongs) for fit and function. Those aluminum prongs frequently fail to make good contact.
