Exclamation Fan only running on low - Car on verge of overheating

I need a little help here fellas...

I purchased my mustang over the winter last year... So I have not had a problem until now...

My car is only running the fan on low which now that it is summer, is causing me to run hot.

I can unplug the temperature sensor, the high fan will then kick on.

It is not the sensor, as I have checked the reading on my laptop. It is correct with my autometer gauge.

I do not believe it is the CCRM, because the fan goes on high when I unplug the sensor.

I have double checked and traced the ECU fan wire for shorts and verified any connections I have made. I have not run any continuity checks or anything, but it looks good.

This situation sound familiar to anyone?
