Default Electrical issue

I am finding harder to believe daily how neglected this poor car was. Anyway, 93 vert battery died. Hear is what I have observed. Driving the battery light and door lights flicker. With the car off you periodically hear what sounds like a bad fan blower sound. The climate control is off. Any ideas where to freaking look?

Common problem.
Usually a faulty blower control module (BCM ) , a solid state "relay" controlled by the HVAC head unit that supplies power direct from the batt to the blower motor
However you may want to check the fuse 1st.

BCM location under the hood in the A/c housing

Just a general thought, check your various electrical connections. A poor or bad connection can cause all kinds of strange thing to happen.
It's cheap and just takes some time.

This is obviously after doing the above.

Did you replace the battery or just recharge the battery?

Sorry correction. The door ajar light flickers.

I had to charge the battery only last night.

I will check the first suggestion as well.

Question: What is the actual name of the button that depresses when your door is closed that shuts the interior lights? I think one or both of those might be a problem as well.

Thanks Again.
