my electric fans run all the time on LOW...
then when they reach temp, they turn on loud and cool the motor down then go back to low speed, What is it, the water pump temp switch bad??? No check engine light or codes.

I just swapped the #1, and #2 around...
started car and both fans were off then they both came on at LOW speed and then as it got a little hotter it came on LOUD and cycled to back to LOW speed.
If there is nothing wrong with the fan circuits, it might be the temp sensor in the water pump.
Here is a schematic for the fans. Use the lower one that has the three relays.
Here is info on testing the sensor.
It would be nice if you had a scan tool to tell you what the pcm is reading as engine temp. That would tell you if the temp sensor was a problem.

I am not getting a check engine light
I had one of these switches bad on a Turbo Trans Am and it would show good when the test was done but I got a new one and it was the culprit.
so it is normal for the fans...
to run on low? As I said they are off when I start it, let it idle for a while and they come on low speed? Then it cycles on and off on HI speed, but the low speed always stays there??
just as the temp goes above the 160 mark on the factory guage...
the fan turns on, but low, then as it gets to the second mark on the factory guage it turns on high speed, cools down, turns back to low speed???
Any custom programming in the pcm?
You need to monitor it with a scan tool to see what the pcm is seeing.
Stock, the pcm will command low speed fans "ON" at 226º and "OFF" at 221º and high speed fans "ON" at 235º and "OFF" at 230º.

so it does have a low and high????
then it sounds perfect, when cold all fans are off then the low speed comes on, and when it gets hotttt the high speed come on and go off, but the low speed stays on, once winter gets here then the low speed will cycle too it sounds like.
