No, it's a very bad idea, and you shouldn't do it. > Of > course, I want the fan to run when the a/c is on, but it should not run once > the car is turned off. Is there a fuse that i can remove? The fan is not killing your battery. The fan runs on for what, 1 minute max? This will not, in any way, affect battery life. I think since they last 2 years, it's unlikely that you have a fault, probably that you're just buying poor batteries. -- Grunff
