Why does my car overheat when I use the AC?

What is your question?

My 2000 Cabrio starts to overheat as soon as I turn on the AC. At the shop they changed the thermostat, the thermostat housing and flushed the cooling system. If anyone knows what else can they check for please help.

MAKE SURE THE SECOND ELECTRIC FAN TURNES ON WHEN YOU PUT ON THE A/C OTHERWISE THE ENGINE WILL OVERHEAT WITH THE EXTRA LOAD PUT ON BY THE A/C COMPRESSOR. I HOPE THIS HELPS
