Blower wont turn off

Since about two nights ago my blower (air con fans) wont turn off even when the car has turned off. The only way I can get it to turn off is if I pull out the blower valve. I've only had the car for 3 weeks, and two nights ago was the first time I have had to use the rear demister that is the only thing I did different on the night that it started happening.

What do you mean by blower?
Typically the fan that blows air around the cabin is given the term of blower fan. The fans under the bonnet are simply cooling fans.
Which are we talking about? either way sounds like a relay is stuck on.

When you say "pull out the blower valve" what exactly do you mean?? The relay? (a cube shaped thing about 20-25mm on each side)

It's not unheard of for a relay to have "sticky contacts", and that's what this sounds like to me.

Best of luck!

a little secret in a VS with climate control.... if the blower is stuck on replace the park light fuse under the dash...

dont ask why, just do it.
