Olds Ninety Eight- Fan on after car turned off!

Good evening-
I don't usually like to bug other people with my problems, but I am at my wits end trying to troubleshoot this car problem. I'll outline the problem, and then maybe you can make sense of it.
-The car is a Oldsmobile Ninety Eight
-History: two weeks ago, the car wouldn't start; electric power was intermittent. I traced the problem to corroded battery terminals, after which point the car worked fine. Before that trouble, the car underwent regular periodic maintenance.
-The Question: As of last night, the cabin blower fan and dash display will not turn off when the ignition is turned off and the key taken out. In fact, the blower fan will actually come ON when the key is taken out, even if it was previously off. The Temp indicator on the central dash/climate control console flashes, also. The fan can be turned off with the climate controls, but the display is still sucking juice. Also, the driver's side console warning display indicates that there is a coolant problem; however, I did not find any evidence of coolant leakage.
This car is driven by a friend of mine, and I can't really give any insight into her driving habits or what she might have done to cause this. I really don't know much about onboard diagnostics, and I really don't want to shell out a lot of money just to have someone hook up the car to a PC. I will do what I have to do to get the thing fixed, of course, but I'd like to take the cheaper route.
Any insight you might have would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers from up North,
Ben
