Answer
Hi Rain,

Well, this is a tough one, but I believe there is a short and a blown fuse. Check the fuses under the hood first. I believe the fuse for the fuel pump could be bad. The is also an inertia switch in the trunk. If you have hit something or have been hit while parked this switch will kick off and not let the fuel pump come on. As for the fan, I assume you mean the A/C fan inside the car, it could be on the same fuse as the fuel pump. Try this and resubmit so we can try other things if this doesn't solve the issue of no start.
