Will not come on. Manual fan switch does not turn on the fan. Air handler has 3 fuses inside and all ck out ok. Has 2 circuit boards but I do not know how to tell which one is not working. Anyone know how to check?

check the
transformer, should be putting out 24 volts. there may also be a small "auto type" spade fuse. if you pull the cover off the tstat and jump r and g, the fan should come on if it does, bad tstat.

I swapped the transformer with the identical transformer on one of the other working units. and it did not have power. The faulty units transformer works in the good unit. The printed circuit board it connects to does have power (high voltage at the glass fuse & fuse is good. Is it the board? I presume the limit switch is ok since the transformer board has power.

If you've determined your xformer has 24 volts output and you can't run the fan by jumpering R & G at the stat, then you've got an "open" low voltage wire someplace, the OD unit is out of gas (off on low pressure switch), or the circuit board itself is bad. You ought to jump R&G, go to the fan relay to see if the coil is energized by checking for 24 volts across the coil. Its possible the relay contacts are kaput, not allowing high voltage to go to the fan motor.. You also can eliminate the xformer by calling for cooling at the stat. Don't know what kind of backup heat you have but if there is a limit control for the fan, it could be the culprit

just in case
it is the wire itself, disconnect t stat wires from board, be sure 24 volts is entering board, have it b/w r and c, then jump r and g if no fan but 24 at r and c , bad fan relay, most likely on the board, ie bad board....does heat work? low refrigerant tripping low pressure switch will prevent o/d unit from coming on, will not affect fan. check if the red wire to the tstat runs through a condensate pump or float switch
