This kind of problem is difficult to solve remotely, but if it was me I would unplug various modules one at a time as well as the ignition switch and see if the Ecu fan goes off. I would start with the BCM and the main instrument cluster as most likely to cause this kind of issue.
Your battery is draining rapidly so if you do this yourself you may need a charger or low battery will complicate the situation further.

No, read what I wrote yesterday. Remove it and see if the short clears (ie; if the ECU and ECU fan powers down. If it does, that is evidence that it is causing the problem. Disconnect the battery during removal and reconnect it afterwards to avoid further problems.
As Norri said, you should not buy modules unless you positively have evidence that they are bad.

My best armchair guess based on the circumstances you described is a module fried (most likely the BCM or instrument cluster), or the ignition switch contacts were overloaded and damaged, or a wire melted and shorted to the chassis.
The advice is worth what you pay for it
That is all I can say now....you are free to do what you want.
