replace you clutch fan its not pulling enough air at low speed when you turn the heat on the aux fan comes on and helps with the cooling

the clutch fan is for when you at low speeds when you going down the highway your foceing air thru the radiator hence no over heating issues ,a circulation problem will be the other way slow speed normal temp highway overheating will occur,there about 40 dollars at auto parts
