    I have researched this because I am currently having the same problem....Looks to be the Blower motor resistor is shorting at its connections subseqently sending a constant power through a secondary source.

The blower motor speed control module is defective, replace it.

What is making my 2005 Silverado's blower motor stay on high even when the truck is turned off? It keeps running, it drained my battery.

Your BCM (body control module), must have gone bonkers. Have it checked out. Might just need a little tweaking-like re-setting.
Good luck.

Vent fan running all the time even with key out of switch

You have a bad blower motor relay, when the relay goes bad. It can freeze in the on position keeping the contact closed to run your blower motor. Inspect the blower motor relay and wire harness for any short due to burnt wire, this is a common issue with that year of Silverado's
Thank you for using fixya and good luck.

The heater fan on my 98 chevy silverado stopped working... worked on high at first but made a high pitched noise and stopped all together

Run 12V directly to the motor and see if it will run, if it dosent than the motor is bad, if it does than the resister is bad, the resister makes the blower run and also regulates the speeds for the blower, but chanses are if it was making a high pitch squeel before it quit the motor went out.

Blower won't shut off

You will need a Blower motor resistor and maybe a blower motor resistor connector end. If you look under the dash on the passenger side(may need to remove smooth black cover, vents will be sticking out) you will see a connector going straight up into the blower motor resistor(7 wires/slightly in front of blower motor). Pull out the connector and check for melted terminals/wires. If no melted terminals just replace blower motor resistor with part # 89019088 per GM to revert to part before 04 in order to stop blower motor resistor relay from hanging. Let me know if i can help more.
