The fan is important, make sure that works.
Also, check your amount of freon in the car.

Since you sound some what mechanically inclined try this. After a short drive to warm the car up run your hand over the radiator, Does it feel the same in all spots or are there spots hotter and colder? If so the radiator is plugged. Take care even though the fans do not work as since the are electric they can turn on at anytime. If your ans do not work you will need to fix that problem as well.

fan problem. try running for a few minutes, fan should be running once temp becomes higher than what it should be. if the fan still not working, check the fan by if it is working by running a + wire from the battery to the + wire of the fan. if it run, then it is ok. the culprit might be the temperature sensor switch.

There can be several reasons for a car to overheat. Someone has already mentioned low coolant. In addition to low coolant the thermostat could be sticking, there could be a hole in one of the radiator hoses or heater hoses or even a hole in the radiator or it needs to be flushed to get rid of sediment that will block coolant flow.
Lots of causes and if you aren't mechanically minded you should have a mechanic look into the problem.

First,fix the fans..and see what that does.Then and/or at the same time..check the radiator..and make sure you have it full,coolant level is appropriate..and it is not leaking.If it is leaking,get some sealant that you pour into the radiator and then refill it.That should fix it.Otherwise take it to the dealer,or a mechanic.

The fan might have some problem. Also check for the coolant and oil levels.
