Peugeot 306 1.4 2000 - 306 radiator fan failure - bungalore

My car just overheated on me and I had to be 'recovered' back to my house. When I got out the car I left the engine running and looked at the radiator fans - the right hand one was not spinning. When I got home ran the car to the point where the fans kick in and again only the left ran.

The left fan can be freely spun when not in operation while the right cannot - it feels seized. Can I take this to mean the motor for the right fan has died? If not, what else may be causing this and how can I fix it?

Thank you

If the fan cannot be physically moved then it must have seized or be jammed by something. I wouldn't have thought that failure of one fan would cause it to boil, I would be inclined to check your thermostat.

Update: the fan moves. It was jammed or seized but now moves when I spin it by hand. However, I have run the car up to the point of fan initiation and still only the left hand fan works.
