Why is your car overheat when you turn on the ac?

Your car may overheat when you turn on the AC due to a few potential issues. The AC system places additional load on the engine, which can expose existing cooling problems, such as a low coolant level, a malfunctioning thermostat, or a failing water pump. Additionally, a clogged radiator or a broken fan can hinder airflow, preventing the engine from dissipating heat effectively. Regular maintenance and prompt attention to overheating issues are essential to prevent further damage.
