Check all the wiring across the front of the engine bay, check earth straps, check under dash steering cowling to see if the ignition switch is turning when key is turnt

These have a common problem with a yellow relay, not sure which one, someone with first hand experience can tell you more.

That or you have an immobiliser problem.

What fans are you referring to?

Check second stage on the black cap is showing power from it, the side lights don't need the key to be turned to the red dash lights to work, everything else does

That is not good, I am surprised you even got it insured without one!

Now I know that, check the ignition switch.
