I have a 2002 Saturn SL1 and the other day while making a short stop on the way home from the airport it began getting very hot and the AC was blowing hot as well. Shut off the car and after about 30 minutes started it up and it ran fine. Brought it home and looking at it, the fan in front of the radiator was not on when the car was running in park and the AC does not blow cold while in park. WHile in gear and drving it all seems to be ok

With the ac on and ac compressor clutch engaged does the radiator cooling fan come on?Do you have a multimeter to do some testing?Sounds like you might have a bad radiator fan motor. Have you checked the 30 amp green maxi fuse in the underhood fuse box.
