When turning the ignition off and keys out of the ignition the light on the AC knob stays on and blower is blowing hot air while car is off and it's draining my battery over night. Ihave to manualy turn off the knob to the AC in order to shut off. The AC clutch sounds like its engage and it's draining my battery. Please advise.

Check the blower motor relay, behind left side of dash, to see if it is sticking.

Thank you, I will do that. Is the relay in the fuse box inside the car, or is it in the engine fuse or relay compartment? Thank you once again.
