Default Ac stays on after key is removed

any ideas why? I take my key out and the blower is still on. I drained my battery bc I guess it started after I left the truck last night. New battery and I didn't have the key in and my blower was on. Weird Land Rover voodoo..

The blower or the electric fans?

Is it possibly the cooling fan? My wife's Dodge minivan did that when she was on a trip. She called me and said the "engine" would not shut off so she cut her visit with a friend short and drove home. It was actually a failed solid state cooling fan relay that kept the fans running with the key off.

The cooling fans are designed to stay running after the truck is shut off. They will continue to run and cool until the temp drops, then they shut off.
It sounds like Caleb's blower/vents inside the cab keep blowing. Maybe something is wired wonky?

I never had this issue before and Ive owned it since 2010 lol.. When it warms up I guess I can look at the wiring. For now I just make sure my blower is set to zero before I leave my car.
