Either bad (new) temp sensor, or overheating

I figure I would update for others who may have the same problem. I just replaced my temp sensor (the upper one for the ECU, not the lower that runs the temp gauge) and for the first time since I started this topic the fans came on by them selves. The trouble shooting guides out there that tell you to unplug the upper sensor, and if the fans come on it is good is INCORRECT. My fans would come on if I unplugged the sensor so I thought according to the trouble shooting guides that it is receiving the correct info. My guess is that it is getting a reading, just an incorrect reading. All this pain in the arse for a $15 part...... Oh well. Hope this helps others :)
