Heater Issue

My heater stays running with the ignition turned off. The blower runs at any set speed even with the key offf and out of the ignition.

Sounds like a relay stuck. It should say which one it is in the owners manual or a chilitons. You could swap out another relay to check but I have had that happen before.

Today when i got home from work and shut hte truck down I could hear relays behind the dash in the middle clicking. I wonder if I have the leaking windshield wows.

Mine did the same thing when it rained. I read that the windshield leaks into the GEM module and that caused my blower motor to run. It dried out on its own and had the windshield leak fixed.

My windshield cracked last week so I guess I'll be get it fixed soon enough.
Hopfully the gem dries out and starts working right again.
