The fan for the AC and heated were not working. I checked the fuses and found that one of the fuses for the fan was bad. I replaced the fuse and the fan motor kicked right on. I checked the AC and it was working fine now at all speeds.. Great right? .. Wrong, the fan continued to run even after I turned the car completey off killing my battery. Any suggestions as to where to start?

Disconnect the negative cable from the battery. Refer to the Battery Negative Cable Disconnect/Connect procedure in the Engine Electrical section of SI.
Remove the right closeout/insulator panel. Refer to the Closeout/Insulator Panel Replacement-Right procedure in the Instrument Panel, Gages and Console section of SI.
Disconnect the wire harness connector to the blower motor control module. start here
