Faint whining sound when car is off

[Blackfoot]

Hi, my '97 6-spd makes a faint whining or whirring sound when the car is off. Sounds like it's coming from the radio area, but cannot be sure. Somewhere in the front dash area. I am sure that it's draining my battery as I couldn't start it this morning.

Only thing I can think of is pull the fuses until noise stops. Any insight would be much appreciated.

hmm... I suppose I might try pulling the fuses too, at the very least it would localize the problem. Maybe something int he HVAC system?
