Hello Lawrence. Nice to hear from you today! I'm sorry to hear you are having this problem. I know this can be frustrating. Can you tell me what liter your engine is in your vehicle? Was anything done to your vehicle that may have caused this issue to occur?

I think 4.6 and no but the hose to radiator came off so I put it back on and I have no leaked or anything

Thank you for that information! Did you top off the radiator fluid at all once the hose was reinstalled?

with radiator fluid

Did this issue occur immediately after the hose issue?

No my wife says before and I had check the fluid levels when she told me it happen

Thank you for your reply and that information as this does help me better understand the situation. Please give me one moment to type out some info for you. I’ll be right back!

Ok

Thank you for holding Lawrence! If the vehicle is only heating up or overheating when the AC is being used this indicates that the AC condenser or the radiator fins are bent over or damaged. The AC condenser sits in front of the radiator. If there are any bent fins they would need to be straightened out using a tool like the one in the link below. If there is any debris in front of the AC condenser or between the radiator and condenser then the debris has to be removed. If the fins are o.k. and there is no debris, then this indicates that the engine cooling fan(s) is not operating properly. The cooling fan system will need to be tested to identify the issue causing the fan fault and from there it can then be repaired to resolve this issue. This will involve electrical testing as well as having the fault codes checked with a fully compatible high-end scan tool to identify which fan component has to be replaced.

Thanks
