Default EK4 engine won't crank but push starts

Hi there

Having a problem starting my car.

Removed the battery today to remove the front camber control arms, but the battery back in and then car would not start.

Swapped the starter motor out for another one still nothing.

Checked all the fuses and relays, all fine apart from the interior light fuse

The car starts when push started.

When you go to crank the engine, the start motor clicks then the radiator fan comes on

Any ideas what is going on here?

Check the transmission ground wire.

This would happen if someone has shorted the 2P connector of the radiator fan switch.
