When I put the key in the ignition turn key to the on position all the reds lights up some times the fans start up then when I turn the key to start up nothing happens. I noticed the clock blacks out and the fans also cuts out has it got something to do with the key?

Have the battery checked out. Most auto parts store will do that for you if you remove it and take it over to them. Battery may have a bad cell where there is juice to power up accessories but not enough to crank the vehicle over. Let us know what they find.
