I have tested the thermostat and the fuses, as well as the fan and the belts and the hoses. I just don't know what else could be making it overheat so easily, is there anyone out there that can give me some advice other than taking it to a shop?

If it's a 2.5L V6, look for a broken water pump impeller blade. Those are extremely common on those particular models.

Could it be a blockage in the radiator? Sometimes, to make certain of leaks, people will use the flush and/or leak repair fluids. Sometimes there could be some rust or other impurity build-ups that break free and then cause blockages when the fluids are used. Aside from the thermostat (99% of the time) and/or radiator and/or leaks, what about the water pump? Often times they will continue to operate before actually blowing the seals, but if they're losing water on the road, you won't know until it blows. My '99 Taurus kept heating and it was the water pump... hope this helps! :-)

nicely, you probably did a great form of stable issues, yet there is something incorrect with your stress cap. this is what controls the stress on your equipment, except you have a leak some the place. it could additionally be the rationalization at the back of your overheating, because of the fact after it gets warm it is going to easily blow the water out of your cap. vehicles are made to run at or close to the boiling factor. The radiator cap keeps the great heated water interior the equipment. vehicles want severe temperature to help in burning the gasoline thoroughly. this is popular for you automobile to get some ranges warmer than your thermostat putting. you basically have been given to get a cap and examine the neck of the radiator. You gotta carry that stress.

The most probable cause is a failed water pump.
On a V6 it is on the driver side of the engine. Remove the belt check and cover to reach it.
Sometimes the radiator gets clogged and will not allow enough fluid to pass through. You can get a bottle of radiator cleaner and pour it in the radiator , then drive the car for a while (follow the directions on the product you buy).
Drain the radiator and flush it well, then close the valve and refill as per manufacturer recommendations for your area.

.
Somethings (not all) that will affect the operating temperature of the car:
Low or no airflow caused by bugs or grass seed in the radiator fins or fans not working
Low coolant level due to leak or faulty cap.
Low or no coolant flow due to collapsed suction or loose belt or stuck thermostat
Cracked head or blown gasket or even a worn out transmission that is slipping will cause your engine to overheat if the transmission cooler is in the radiator

The radiator may be plugged up. There are products available to help clean the cooling system, and the cooling system should be backflushed after using them.
