Hi charles h, Welcome to 2carpros and TY for the donation

Could be the engine temperature gauge switch sender, coolant temperature sensor, relays and the computer.

Get A DVOM To check the relays you have to measure the coil side for resistances which is normally 60-80ohms and switch side would be infinite. If you have AC turn it On-is the AC condenser operating if not were back to relays and the computer-I doubt both fan motor is defective

Test the coolant temperature sensor on right rear of engine below the EGR valve.
