Default Driver Side fan?

Hi everyone I'm new to this forum and I have a question
My daughter just got a 2000 Honda accord and I was checking it out and I noticed the fan on the driver side is not working. I checked all the fuses so I think it's the fan. My question is is that the condenser fan or the radiator fan?

For the V6, the driver's side is the radiator fan. For 4 cylinders, the driver's side is the A/C condenser fan.

is it overheating? does the a/c system work?, if so, does the condensor fan come on?

The condenser fan comes on which is the one on the passenger side. But the one on the driver side doesn't. And the strange thing is the car doesn't overheat

The "radiator fan" & "condenser fan" are really historical names. For a 2000 Accord, both fans blow through the radiator and the condensor together.

Still, they are both supposed to run. You can unplug the wiring harness for the one that doesn't run; use some wires to jumper power directly from the battery, to check whether that fan-motor actually works. IF it does, then maybe it's a bad fan relay?
