I looked at a picture just now, the serpentine belt is located on the right side of the car (passenger), so that's where the AC compressor is, therefore... right side fan is for the air conditioning. The left side must be the fan that helps cool the engine, called the radiator fan.
It's common for these motors to give out some day, it may have just happened.
BTW, how do you know that it stopped working? It's supposed to come on only at a certain temperature.

If your air conditioning works, turn it on. both fans should run when it is active. If one of the fans comes on but the other does not, then you need to disconnect the 2 pin connector from the offending fan. Take a voltmeter and check for voltage by contacting the positive pin to the red probe, and the black probe to any of the body grounds. If there is voltage, you have a bad fan.

Of course you should check your fuses first, they will most likely be in the underhood fuse box. Underneath the cover there is a schematic telling you what the various fuses do.
