Default 2004 C5 Parasitic battery drain

Wassup brothers, i got a 04 c5 that i recently bought and I’m having a hard time trying to find a solution to a parasitic drain. Ik whats causing the issue but not sure how to proceed. So basically the light on the “front” button of climate control stays on when the car is turned off but it functions normally when the car is running. If anyone knows what the best thing to solve this issue please lmk. I am considering replacing the whole climate control unit but still want to hear y’all opinions before doing that. Thanks I’m advance 🤙🏽

Thanks, but I already know what’s causing the drainage I wanna know to fix it. I know pulling the fuse will fix it temporarily but I need a permanent solution.

You can send your climate control unit to someone who specializes in repairing them instead of just replacing it. Internet search is your friend.
