Default blower motor issues

Hey everyone, I have a 95 ram 3500, problem is I can turn the blower motor on without the key even being in ignition, have come out to dead batteries because it didn't get completely shut off. Any ideas? thanks

It appears the blower motor gets power directly from the ignition switch. Then thru the fuse block (fuse F2, 30 amp) then to the motor. So, you either have a short to power somewhere, or, a bad ignition switch. Does anything else still work with the ignition off?

My 96 Dodge had a recall to replace some wiring in the steering column. I believe there was a problem with too much current draw from blower motor, shorting some wires in column.
