battery being drained by accessory power.

All at once, my 4 wheel drive, door chime and light, and cruise control stopped working, and my AC blower will turn on with the key off and out. I figured I could live with that for a little while, but now that college has started, I don't drive it everyday, and the battery drains after a couple days (with no lights or accessories on. I have individually pulled out every solenoid and relay switch I can find and none will make the blower stop (when the key is out and it is turned on). Also, it isn't a fuse.
Any ideas?

I had a '91 that would drain the battery if it set for more than aweek. Check your relays one may be stuck closed. Under hood light maybe staying on. But with my '91 I think the computer keep a small drain on the battery.
Need to remove all wires tied to battery positive. Then check each one with a millamp meter in order to isolate the cuprit.
