1) Do both the fans come on with the air conditioning?
2) Have you checked the fuses: C8 = RH side fan & C10 = LH side fan.
3) A possible cause could be the 2 x ballast resistors mounted under the front bumper just ahead of the wheels. they look like an aluminium tube and control the fan speeds - though both going out simultaneously is questionable.
4) If you have a Durametric scanner you can activate the fans on low & high speed.
