I pulled into a gas station to let it cool down. I should also mention that my rad fan never comes while driving or idling, only when I shut the engine off.

Coolant is full. So my only guess is this could be a faulty fan switch or thermostat? Any ideas guys.
just to be clear...the temp gauge never got to the half way point during the 30 min drive, only rose up to the half mark while driving? Is it only over heating while driving and not at idle?
