If your certain that both fans are running them your likely looking at a coolant circulation problem at idle.
2007 nissan maxima cooling fans not working.
To test the fans disconnect the fan connectors and ground one terminal while applying battery voltage to the other but this fan should have 4 terminals so you might make a mess out of it.
The radiator fans are not working.
I have a 1999 nissan maxima.
Can be either your coolant temperature sensor not working to let the fans know to turn on or your thermostat is stuck close or the fuse for the fan may need to be replaced.
Ideally you need to start by burping the cooling system and see if that fixes the problem.
The sensor could either be bad or you may have a blown fuse or disconnected wire.
This could be as simple as air in the system or a faulty water bump.
Yes you can replace a single relay that is coming from a shop that does not know what it is doing however most likely will have to go to a junkyard then use scanner and reset your trouble code then unhook both battery cables then pull old relay out just like a fuse watch at this point insure your reinstall replacement relay in the exact same fashion as the old one came out or you are in for a whole separate set of problems also you will need to consult bottom of relay to insure you.
You have the right idea.
If your altima has a bad engine temp sensor the radiator fan won t know to come on because the ecu won t know how hot the engine is.

The sensor for the fan is located either in your thermostat housing the radiator or in the head somewhere.
Another possibility is low water level.
If the low side sucks into a vacuum quickly i would suspect a low system.
2006 nissan maxima radiator fans not kicking on overheating.
What would cause the radiator fan to not kick on.
Get a dvom or testlight first because to test the fuses or relays and their terminals you need to know if battery voltage is present.
I have checked the fan motors and they work.
Your engine temperature sensor is responsible for relaying your engine temp to the ecu.
