All of a sudden the light to my car started turning on, stating that it hot. I found out that it's got 2 fans & only 1 fan is working where the motor is...what could it be?

Thanks!!

The red light (overheating) should not come on when only 1 fan is working... you
might have more than 1 problem... a bad fan and maybe a bad thermostat or
a broken water pump impeller.
