Just not sure what you mean.

Are you saying you cannot turn the A/C off; or are you referring to the heater fan motor which can't be switched off?

Sorry to say but it sounds like the controller might have burnt up.

Try disconnecting the battery for a couple of hours. That MIGHT clear any stored codes, otherwise I think tech is right, the box may have burnt up inside.
