Why is my blower always on??
Any time I turn the key on the blower is on what ever speed the switch is on, regardless if the mode lever is in the off position. Do I just need new AC control?

Is it squeaking or sound like a card in the bicycle spokes? A squeak means the bearings are going away and the flapping noise is usually a leaf or piece of paper in the squirrel cage.

While the blower always going at low speeds, thanks to Uncle Nader is true, what you have written does not sound like normal operating procedure. The way I read that is you can have the system off and still turn the blower to any speed. Mine does not do that.

fwiw...
I have stripped my car as much as possible for weight savings but I opted to leave in the blower motor, switches & odd continuous running of the fan.
I did this for HPDE track days/auto cross. During these events you have to have your windows rolled all the way up. The C3 is hot as hell in the summer time. Track heat & sun make it quite warm in the car. So, I like to be able to kick on the blower/vent to keep the cabin as cool & fresh air as possible.
(btw... I have routed out & removed the heater core) so, all recirculated air is (relatively) cool.
