It is supposed to come on, even if the car is turned off, in warmer weather to dry out the A/C evaporator and ducts, but there is a battery voltage condition in the logic that should not allow it to drain the battery. It is called "afterblow". Other threads here have suggested a stuck relay in that circuitry could cause the issue you are experiencing.

yep - if the s70s are set up similar to my 850, the relay is up front by the top of the radiator.
