Thats kinda weird because the fans are supposed to come on when you ground the diagnostic link and turn the key on. This should not prevent the car from starting though. Need a techno weeny for this one....

Oh-ohhhh... The notorious VATS problem. Try using any spare key you may have. The resistor chip in your usual key may be worn. If it still happens, you may need the infamous "VATS bypass" trick...
