Default a/c blower fan problems

so my mechanic fixed my a/c, and it works really well now. the only thing is i have to manually turn the fan off when i turn off the car. once it is turned off, it won't turn back on till the car's on again. when it shuts off, i hear a bunch of shorting sounds for a while, then it goes away. any ideas?!?

You say it only clicks when you turn it off and then it goes away? Could it be a leaf in the fan that makes the noise until the fan stops rotating?

it's definitely an electrical sound. but why would it stay running even when the ignition is off until i turn it off myself?

I'm thinking a sticky relay. I don't quite understand the symptoms so maybe someone else has a better grasp but a relay sticking would provide power even when the trigger is cut off.

Sticky relay sounds like a good possibility. Either that, or the mechanic wired it all up wrong.
