Why will my heater blower fan stay running even with the keys out of the ignition?

This just started out of the blue tonight. I tried taking the fuse out and still runs. I unhooked under the hood, going to the blower motor itself, so I thought, and stays running. This is my boys truck and he has to be at work at 6am so I showed him how to take battery cable off when gets to work so it won't kill battery. Any help with this would be very appreciated.

Main suspect is the blower motor relay. What year, make and model of truck will tell you where the relay module is. I have an 86 s10 that does this also. I replaced the 30 year old relay module with a new one, and the new one does it once in a while also. Yes, I swapped the new one for free within the 30 day warranty, and guess what? The other other new one does it too. On my s10, the relay is on the firewall about 6 inches from the blower motor. When the thing won't quit, I pop the hood and tap on the relay to make it stop.

SOURCE: blower stays on when car

If you pulled the 10 amp fuse in the I/P fuse block and the blower still worked than the the blower motor module is most likely the problem. It is fed by a 30 amp fus4e in the fuse block under the rear seat. That fuse is always hot and always supply power to the blower motor module. If you pull that fuse and the blower stops than it's pretty likely the blower module is the problem.

The blower module is located near the blower motor. It is usually held in place with 2 screws and will have four or five wires at the connector.

Why does my blower fan stay on max with car off?

i will now read the online service manual to you.
https://eautorepair.net/Marketing/Default.asp

blower fan located where. dash heater blower fails
or radiator fans of some odd kind added later.
coolant fan or dash? there are 2 coolant fans and 3 relays to run them and all 3 relays, can fail and coolant fans blow for ever and ever. fuse 6 kills the relay coils. only, so if relay is welded fans blow endlessly. even if bcm is removed from the car.
on the other and the heater blower is 100% controlled by the BCM

so car engine starts and runs and drives ok right.
when did car last run perfectly> , or seen ever ?
service manuals for 88 cars are not easy to find
means real oem manuals, best. 35 years old !
no digital then ,just a huge paper bound book, remember?
holy moly this 88' has a body controller here, bcm , relic amazing thing.
facts: 1988
here is proof

03 rendezvous heater fan runs with key off

It sounds like you may have a malfunctioning component in your heating system that is causing the fan to continue running even when the car is turned off. Pulling fuse 47, which controls the climate control blower and ignition 3 relay, stopped the fan from running but may have also caused other issues in the system. Replacing the fuse may not fix the problem, it may be necessary to have a mechanic diagnose and repair the specific component causing the issue.

My heat has stop blowing. replaced blower, and heater on off switch. what else could it be?

LX? DX? EX? Hatchback? sedan? wagon?coupe? engine size? did you check the fuse? Fuse #19, 30 amps in the auxilary fuse box (your owners manual may show the location ,it may be near the blower ?). The Blue/White wire at the heater blower motor should be HOT (12v) with key on. If you ground the Blue/Black wire the motor should run full speed.

No power at heater fan fuse is there a relay peugeot 406

406 is prone to damaged internal contacts in the ignition key barrel, one of the cables there supplies power to the heater blowers. What happens is there is a large supporting clip that takes the weight of the bundle of cables from the ignition barrel, this becomes loose or fails and allows the weight of the bundle to hang on the back of the barrel, the end result is loss of supply to various systems as well as damage to the key barrel itself. Drop the under steering kick pannel and try a wiggle of the bundle while you have everything switched on and the engine running, if you get intermittant blowers running you have found the fault!

A/c fan blows without car turned on or key in ignition

Either you have connected your wiring incorrectly, recheck all of your wiring connections, Or the power supply for the fan is coming straight from the battery instead of running through the switched relay, most likely the relay is stuck closed allowing the fan to stay on.

I have 1992 buick lesabre with a heater fan that wont turn off

the heater fan relay should be in the fuse panel. if not ck see if there is a regular fuse too. Who was messing with the car to do that? find the heater blower switch which should be by the radio... and sometimes it is easier to just take out the radio to get more room. check the wiring make sure nothing else is hooked to it . do the same for the blower which may be easy to get to under the pass side dash or thrught the glove box. but check the wires.

Passenger side fan stays on

If the heater blower motor resistor failed then the heater will stay on full blast to keep your window clear, for safety. If the key is turned off and the fan still blows then I suspect you have an ignition switch problem. Main power comes from the key switch to feed the heater system. The plug at the ignition switch could be melted and making contact or an internal switch problem. The switch is located on the steering column under the plastic cover.Unplubbing the switch should help diagnos the problem.
