See if turning on the AC activates the radiator fan. If not, the fan or relay for the fan is bad. If the radiator fan does turn on with the AC, it is most likely the coolant temperature sensor, which if I'm not mistaken is on the bottom side of the thermostat housing on the right side of the engine.
