probably a bad battery cable or connection-check where
the pos.cable connects to the starter solenoid and where
the neg.cable connects to the engine. The extra load of
two fan motors and A/C clutch activating opened up an
iffy connection somewhere.

Also check the wires/fusible links that come off the
positive stud on the starter solenoid and go to the
wiring harness-if not loose or broken,they can wick up
moisture and corrode internally-especially if you are in
an area that uses salt/chemicals on roads in winter.
