OK I am scratching my head now. The fans started working and so did the A/C.
I found this after I posted the previous post.

I would first replace the temp sensor, if for some unseen reason it does not work right after the sensor change, put a new Fan Control Module (FCM) J293 in it. Even if it just needed a FCM, it was a good idea to change the sensor anyway.

After reading this I got the stethoscope back out and sure and behold it is the auxiliary water pump that is running, it is fastened to the passengers side fan and the noise can be heard in the fan but is actually coming from the auxiliary water pump. The pump did shut off within the specified time.
