the fan switch is by your thermosat. there is two wires that run into a plug. unplug it and jump out the plug with a paper clip then tape it so the paper clip doesnt fall out

Had the same problem :
Thermostat changed didnt fix it...
It was the water pump, car wanted to overheat only while it was idle, guess the pump wasnt runing.. only when being revved on.

My car was doing the same thing too. Only overheating when idle, except my coolant reservoir would go empty about every 2 or 3 days, so i knew i either had a serious leak or needed a water pump. I went ahead and got timing belt as well

Let it idle for 20 minutes or so, and just keep pouring in coolant. Bubbles should come up; add more coolant. If you swapped the thermoswitch you lost some coolant. You could have air pockets.
