The blower motor should only get power when the key is on. If you are getting it all the time, then the ignition switch must be bad. Have that checked and let me know what you find.

I replaced one of the relay switches under the dash and so far the problem is solved. My neighbor thought it may be the ignition switch also, however, no other power item was running when the blower was. Thank you very much for replying to my question!! have a good rest of the week.
