Nope. Federal requirements for trucks is/was that they maintain positive cabin pressure to keep exhaust fumes out of the cabin. There is no "OFF" position, just LO, MED, and HI.

Re: heater fan runs constantly

I cut the brown wire off the back of the switch.
Low becomes off.
Prefer when I can turn everything off, and nothing is on to start the truck.
