Furnace Blower Fan Stays on
OK so I replaced the limit switch and the circuit board already - the limit switch checks out fine and is not stuck open>
I also placed a wired between the two wires from the limit switch and sat there for about 5 minutes and fan did not shut off>
The only way to get the fan to shut off is to either kill power to the whole unit or to unplug the wire leading the the low side on the circuit board.
I am thinking I hae a faulty circuit board, but maybe not
This is a Carrier Model 58GP100-CA

Did you check the fusible link? Do you have a spill switch on the vent pipe with a manual reset?
If you unplug any safeties it would create the same open circuit as a tripped safety. A volt meter is the best way to test for the cause.

I tested the wired behind the link to the other post and got 27+ but if i put my lead in front of the link i get no reading
I also get no ohms if i test with it unplugged with leads in front and behind the link

If it is an open fuse link - i think what caused it was that my relay switch was going off and on before and after the furnace would start and stop. This is why i replaced my circuit board in the first place - i am thinking that sometime in the night before i changed the circuit board the on and off of the fan cause some oer heating or the fan stopped all together and caused..
