07 Sedan Overheating.

07 Sedan Overheating.
Hi Everyone,
I have a 2007 S Sedan that is overheating, looking for some guidance.
The car only overheats with the AC on when the car is stopped. With the AC off or if the car is moving with the AC on temp is normal.
I have done the following:
Flushed/bleed cooling system.
Verified thermostat is opening.
Verified both radiator fans are working (and both come on when AC is turned on)
Cleaned condenser.
Replaced fan control module (twice).
I'm a bit stuck and it's regularly over 100 so I'm ready to get this figured out.
TIA for the support!

Thanks for the reply. Cooling system is bleed and correct coolant. After more research the fans may be working but weak?

Definitely pressure test the system, if it isn't holding pressure it definitely won't work.
Is there a noticeable difference between low and high fanspeeds? If you are overheating those things should be screaming like a banshee and pushing some serious air.
I would also get a flashlight and inspect the radiator fins at nighttime, have someone shine the light from the engine side and look at the radiator through the grill to make sure it's not packed full of debris between the condensor and the radiator. Inspect the entire radiator not just a couple sections.
Fan motors can get weak with age, the radiator itself can also become slightly clogged due to age and not performing scheduled maintenance flushes every 30k.
