Hello,

This vehicle has a control module for the cooling fan. It is located under the hood on the left side of the engine (see diagram below).
You might have a wiring issue for the non operational fans, it can also be just a faulty fan motor.

I have attached the cooling fan wiring diagrams and well as the fan replacement procedure for your reference.

Please let me know of any questions.

Thank you.
