Pull the plug and bridge the terminals and see if the motor has died.

Could be a relay / control unit problem then.

yea just pull the plug from the fan that is not working,  get 2 bits of wire and run it directly off the battery.

if it does work it will be your fan module under the battery,  held on my 2 10mm bolts.
