Default Climate control issue

Didn't drive car for 10 days and when i tried to start she was dead.Took battery out and charged and when i reconnected the cables the front defrost was blowing.It goes out when i start the car but comes back on as soon as car is shut off.Air was working fine when last driven and now only passenger side is cold.Plenty of freon in system.Didnt pull codes yet but noticed dual climate control was set on auto so i turned the auto back to manual and tried to reset memory buttons for that as well with no luck.I dont believe it is an actuator issue but not sure about the memory settings procedure.Any ideas???Thanks

Well I actually have to disconnect the battery to make the blower motor shut off(apparently that is what caused the first battery drain).Its like it is stuck in auto mod somehow and I dont know how or why it happened or how to reset or turn it off. If I leave battery connected the fan just keeps blowing and the battery goes dead...
