Default Climate Control still on when car's off: Help

For some reason recently my Climate Control has been staying on when I turn the car off and take the key out. The lights on the climate control stay on and if I turn the fan on, it will work.

Any ideas?

you probably got the power source hooked up to a Constant Wire Which is Always recieving power even when the car is off. i dunno how..lol did u engine swap? if so then thats the reason. If not then Id Take it to an electrical Shop and have the wires tested.

Do you have a remote car starter? That could have malfunction... if so bring to the place that put it in.

Nope, no remote start. I'm pretty sure nothing changed when this started happening, like I didnt do anything to the car and this happened all of a sudden.

Any more ideas? Thanks so far.

does anything else work when it shouldn't?
If so, check the switch on the end of the ignition switch. Something could be bad there.

If not, grab a circuit tester or volt meter and check the plug going into the heater control. Check to see if indeed signal is going to the 'switched ignition' when it shouldn't. If this wire is hot when it should be cold, there is a problem elsewhere. Keep looking.
If this wire is cold when it should be, there is a problem with your heater unit.

Hope this helps a little
