Strange electical problem or other possible problem that someone may know ???

My car was running fine came home turned the car off and the electric fans continued running with the ignition off which it has never done before. Next I disconnect the fans to stop them. A few minutes later I hear a buzzing from inside the car, it is coming from under the dash also with the car off. Turns out I trace it down to the choke relay, which I haven't had a choke hooked up in years, is making all kinds of noise so I unplug it. I now hook the fans back up and they are still stopped, but the car is cool so, I run the car to get the fans to turn on and then stop the engine, and the fans turn off like they should. Here is where I have the problem now 2 days later I come out to start the car and my battery is dead completely. So I install another battery the car starts and runs fine and I drive it all day. Park the car again come back a few days later, and the battery is now dead again. What's the deal does anyone know if my fan problem or choke relay could have something to do with the car draining the battery now. Or do I have some other misterious problem. Any help would be great.

Well your choke relay is part of the charging circuit in your car. Try replacing the relay with a new one.
