Cooling fan assembly

Starting to get warm out, so I,m running the AC in my 2001 auto trans. sitting in line at the bank and notice I,m running hotter than normal. I get away from bank without over heating. Drive down the road to put air on the radiator. It cooled down to normal operating temp. pulled off to the side and poped the hood and noticed the driver side fan was the only on working. why isnt the passenger side working also?

when one goes it's best to get a whole assembly, I just paid around $50 for one motor when I could have gotten the whole assembly with 2 motors for like $10 more.. i figured i would stick with OEM fan shroud... I was able to get a Denso radiator from Rockauto for $52...

Installed a new fan assembly today and passenger side fan doesn't come on. I think that one comes on when you turn AC on or when the car just gets too hot from normal driving. I turned AC on and it's not working. Coolant level is good and tested thermostat in a pot of boiling water. It is working good. Is there a fuse / relay for that fan independent of the other fan? Maybe bad wiring? Maybe bad part from Rock Auto? I need some ideas. Thanks, Mike

It probably blew the fuse. Check rad fan 2 fuse.
