Put water on it

You need to check the electric fan. If it only overheats when stationary it's almost certainly a dead fan or thermostatic switch. If you trace the fan cable back to the switch and detach the connections you can connect them with a short piece of wire. If the ignition is on the fan should run. If it runs, you need a new switch. If it doesn't run, the fan motor has expired.
