    On the way home from church yesterday the A/C was struggling to keep up and we overheated. This is in Florida, and it was warm yesterday, around 85 degrees. The fans seem to be running as advertised, and there is coolant in the overflow bottle. What else should I check?

    Check the amount of coolant in the radiator.
