A/C fans have nothing to do with it.
You need to check the fuel pressure at the fuel rail.
Rent a fuel PSI tester, on the passenger fuel rail is a valve, attach the tester and read the numbers, key on and off.
Let us know.

I would check the crankshaft sensor. Failure of this sensor will cause the engine not to start. Perhaps a wire is damaged or the connection is bad. This is where I would start looking in your condition.

Another thing to check. (The main relay) supplies the power feed to the ECM
with a tap off to feed the fuel injectors (8 amps) and
air flow sensor (4 amps). This relay is controlled by
the engine management ECM. This enables the ECM
to remain powered up after ignition is switched off.
During this ’ECM power down routine’ the ECM
records all temperature readings and powers the
stepper motor to the fully open position. Failure of this
relay will result in the engine management ECM not
being switched on resulting in engine not starting due
to absence of fuel and ignition.
