not sure this will help any but,...every now and then my air would keep blowing even after the truck was off and the key was out of the ignition. it drained my batteries one time cause i didnt notice it was on. so i took it down to my pop shop mechanic( who charges as much as a dealer haha but does good work) and they said it was a bad ignition switch. i never had any other problems with the stuff you had but i thought i'd throw this out there as an idea. Works like a charm now....hasn't done it since.

Ignition Switch: about $35
Labor: about $50

I noticed our trucks are about the same too. lets see how many 03's hit this thread with a similar problem. haha. Could be a factory defect type from that year who knows.
