1999 cherokee overheating issue while idling
Hey guys i was hoping I could get some help figuring out whats going on with my cherokee. When you idle with the A/C on it over heats but if you turn A/C off it drops down to normal temp. I have flushed radiator out couple times and both the fans are working. If ya have some suggestions let me know. Thanks alot

New fan clutch on the belt driven fan. If that doesn't work, may be time to replace some other cooling system components.

Agree with djb, the #1 cause of "temp creep" at idle ONLY is the fan clutch.
Often overlooked, they are inexpensive and easy to replace.
