When your car overheats with the air conditioning on, it may be due to increased strain on the engine. The AC system draws power from the engine, which can lead to higher temperatures, especially if the cooling system is compromised or if there’s low coolant. Additionally, a faulty radiator or a malfunctioning thermostat can prevent proper heat dissipation, exacerbating the overheating issue. Regular maintenance of the cooling system is crucial to prevent these problems.
