Default heating problem

The question is my temp goes up when in traffic. When I go it starts going down a litle or when I turn the ac on low it seems to help. So when i got home I let it sit for awhile. Then check the fluid it's just fine then started the car and just let it run. It got hot after about five min. It got up to about half way. so I turned on my a/c itr made both fans come on so I checked the fuses for the cooling fan and relay there fine. Has any one else had this problem ? And how do you fix it?

AC wont make it cool down...turn on the HEAT..if it blows cold air than you prolly need a new thermostat.

depends what kind car you have. the wire that goes to the primary fans is under the intake manifold. it's hooked up on the block, you can also by pass that and have it turn on when the ignition is on. that's what I did to mind becuase my switch sensor is bad. 89 crx
