what would cause AC to keep running after completely shutting down the car?

Recently I've noticed that after I completely switch off the car (but not yet locked it), the AC keeps running. I can feel breeze coming from the vents, and can hear the motor running softly. But there are no lights on the display...

When I switch the ignition on again and then off, it stops.

That's called afterblow, and it's there to dry the air system to prevent mold and musty smells. It should shut off after at most a few minutes.
