The A/C blower stays on even if I turn the A/C off?

Speed does not change, blower works. It also stays on even if I turn the A/C off. After I shut off the car it stays on for 5-10 seconds, I am guessing it's the resistor. Can you share any instructions on replacing it? I heard it is on the left side of dash and it may be pain to replace.

Yep, I agree it is the blower motor power transistor. It is in the HVAC plenum in the upper left side, here is the location of the unit and what it looks like. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
