Default Chrysler 300 overheating

My 2012 Chrysler 300 limited 3.6 gas overheats when idling but not when in use. Coolant is full no leaks.

Overheating when idling indicates there may be an issue with the fan. When stopped there is no airflow through the radiator which the fan provides. Does turning the ac on should also activate the fan? Note this is a 2-speed fan.

Default Try the ac

Start your car turn on your ac that should activate the fans on slow if they don't start check the relays and fuse if they work on slow but don't change to fast when the car heats up then its the high speed relay that has blown let me know if they don't work as I have a spare set of good fans I could send your way if needed
