thank you for that deserthonda it looks very helpful, I am going to read through all of that before I hit the sheets for some shut eye. I am also going to hit up the dealership or oil can Henry's or something in the morning to test those switches and see what other information I can find. I should be able to make it over their fine. I took a little test drive tonight, longer than my other one. I drove around for 10 - 15 min and revved it up a little bit, tried to heat up the engine and the gauge showed normal temperatures, wasn't overheating, but the fans still failed to turn on with engine on or off. A/C turned them on though. The differences I have noted from my test drive are that the A/C gets the car cooler much faster and the heater heats up much quicker after this repair it seems. Also, the engine or performance seems much better as well, runs smoother and acceleration is more responsive. I stopped at a stop sign and got out to see if I could hear fans and I did hear a faint squealing noise though I will have to keep checking in on.
