The the real issue was that in the following additional code some pins where not assigned correctly. 

# Example viki2 config for an azteeg miniV2 with IDC cable
panel.lcd                                    viki2             # set type of panel

panel.click_button_pin                       2.11!^            # click button
panel.a0_pin                                 2.6               # st7565 needs an a0

panel.buzz_pin                               1.30              # pin for buzzer on EXP2
#panel.red_led_pin                            0.26            # pin for red led on viki2 on EXP1
#panel.blue_led_pin                           1.21             # pin for blue led on viki2 on EXP1
panel.red_led_pin                            1.19           # pin for red led on viki2 on EXP1
panel.blue_led_pin                           1.20             # pin for blue led on viki2 on EXP1
panel.external_sd                            true              # set to true if there is an extrernal sdcard on the panel
panel.external_sd.spi_channel                0                 # set spi channel the sdcard is on
panel.external_sd.spi_cs_pin                 1.23              # set spi chip select for the sdcard
panel.external_sd.sdcd_pin                   1.31!^            # sd detect signal (set to nc if no sdcard detect) 1.18
panel.menu_offset                            1                 # some panels will need 1 here

The issue here was the pin for the red led was also set for .26 which is why the LED never came on but the wrong fan would. The red LED should come on when any temp is above 55c. Blue was also assigned to 1.21 which is wrong for the X5 GT and the VikiII display. I commented out the wrong lines and added the correct ones.

You need to change other code accordingly.

switch.fan1.enable                        true
switch.fan1.output_pin                    2.7
etc ...

switch.fan2.enable                        true
switch.fan2.output_pin                    2.6
etc ...

I know it's not much help to say I couldn't see anything wrong but at least that means it's not an obvious oversight on your part. The bit you've posted looks all good to me. I'd be stumped as well.

My issue is getting the hotend cooling fans to work. I can get the one for extruder 1 to work but when I try the one for extruder 0 both fans come on. My current code is below for temp control and fan control. Not sure where I am going wrong and any help would be appreciated.
