coolant fan????over heating

Are the 2 fans on the radiator both for cooling . I am overheating and the temp light comes on . When I check under the hood only the passenger side electric fan comes on . the drivers side fan does not. I am thinking that this is my overheating problem.

I have replaced all 3 fuses on battery box but still only 1 of the 2 radiator fans work. The water pump was replaced last year so I belive my issue is the fan. I just dont know if both fans should be running when the motor is on ???? help!!!!

I have noticed 4 plasitic hoses under the vehicle on the passanger side, 2 of which go to fuel pump. Where they come from the back of the vehicle and go into the car mid-way up there is antifreeze dripping from under the car. Is this the over flow tube from the coolant tank???? The vehicle doesn't seem to be over heating yet, but still one of only 2 coolant fans are running.

what kind of car is this?

2000 beetle 2.0

Ive gone through 3 fuse boxes, dozens of fuses, and a WHOLE new replacement fan.

I bought the fan on ebay, it was the only way to replace the little broken fan. :(

Mine was all messed up because I took it on the beach a lot because I surf. I no longer let the car TOUCH the beach.

The electrical problems are a BITCH with this car.

(oh yeah, and my coolant leaks a lot, and I have to patch it up 1x a year)
