Default Over heating

Hello everyone I drive a 2003 z06. The problem I am having is that sometimes it will over heat. I checked all the fluids in the car. I think it is my driver side fan is not kicking on all the time. When you turn the AC on both fans are going to being running right? If so the driver side fan never kicks on. Sometime the car will stay cool and other times over heat. This problem just started saturday. Could it be a fuse out or a relay switch running that fan? Thanks for the help guys

Both fans should come on with the a/c. First thing, clean out all the debris that gets sucked up between the radiator and a/c condensor. You may have low air flow there due to the sand, grass, paper, anything else you passed over. If you haven't done it before, you'll be surprised how much comes out of there. Still should have both fans running with a/c on though.

I will clean that out thanks for you help. Does anyone have any clue why the driver fan will not kick on?
