Your cooling fan motor is probably bad.

If your Motor is dead than the fan is probably not spining to cool you
radiator, so when you turn on the A/C. The fan for the A/C is turning
on which is cooling you radiator.

Check while your car is running, if the radiator fan is spinning. If
the fan is not working check to make sure that the fan plug is still
pluged in.

If everything is hooked up correctly than I would suspect that you fan
motor has gone bad.
