97 xk8 cold no start with electrical clicking

I checked the fan and yes it does work. I wondered about a previous repair because the ecu has "guarantee void if broken" seals on both sides. Since any thought of a warrantee or guarantee are long gone I took it apart anyways. I called a couple jag specialist in my area and none of them seemed eager to even touch the car one flat refused while the others said minimum $330 up front to start diagnosis. I just wish I could substitute a known good ecu. I will keep digging into the electrical schematics and try to explore other paths. Any other ideas let me know.. Thanks for all the help so far.

If you gently lift up the ecu you can see the fan running. As far as what activates it and at what time I have no idea. It looks like ecu doctors will test the ecu for $50 I seriously considering it. I have gone over the solders with no change I have a few other things I'm going to try and I'll get back.
