Sounds like the Final Stage Resistor for the ventilation blower has failed. It's a very common problem and an easy DIY fix - the failed resistor keeps the blower running slowly even after the ignition is off and thus drains the battery. Search the forum for many posts on this. There is a FSR replacement post on the homepage.
