2nd question first here: Yes, inducer motor (exhaust fan) must run before gas an fire.
MY FOLLOWING ANSWER WAS COPIED OVER FROM YOUR OTHER POST...
I'm going to assume you can operate and understand a VOM, as well as being able to observe the proper safety procedures for performing service work.

In the case of a control board returning an error code for a failing pressure switch, but the pressure switch actually checks out OK, try this:

Test your exhaust fan power leads for power coming in from the board during the first few seconds at the start of the heating cycle. If power is not showing up there, there is likely another circuit malfunctioning somewhere preventing startup. However, if power is showing up there, then deactivate the system and disconnect the exhaust fan power supply leads from the motor. Test the motor's coil for continuity - a failed exhaust motor coil will result in no vacuum for the pressure switch, hence no heating cycle allowed by the control board.


In my case, the exhaust fan actually failed due to a broken coil lead at the binding post to the push-on connector. I was able to repair the coil lead myself - at no cost - hurray!

Goodman furnace not heating, low fire pressure switch stuck open.

Question edited for typos.

Gas furnaces has safety features to prevent explosions. If anything is thought to be faulty, nothing works. All gas appliances must be repaired by a registered gas technician. The two pressure switches are $76 and $29 if you want to risk it.

There is videos and help here. Check the hose on the pressure switch.

On my Goodman furnace light is blinking 3 times

On most Goodman's the three blinking lights indicate an issue with the pressure switch circuit. That can usually mean one of 4 things.

1. Your flue is blocked with debris.
2. Inducer motor has failed or is not reaching proper speed to satisfy switch.
3. Pressure switch or inducer connections are loose.
4. Pressure switch is bad.

Goodman furnace has a solid red light, but the inducer is not starting up

The inducer motor would run until the heat shut off .if pressure switch is closed and all other safety switches close your furnace should fire up

Goodman furnace GMP075-3 The thermostat was in the off position over night and sometime during the night, the induced blower and blower motor came on. The trouble light on board blinks 5 times. I checked...

Need your model # to check the codes but, this coming back on after turning the t-stat off is rare. You may have been in a lockout and the furnace re-started. Some furnaces try to start three times , then lock out. Time out, then re-start. The codes should be on your furnace blower door. Write back with this info and i could help.

PRESSURE SWITCH DOES NOT ALLOW G AS TO FIRE UP FURNACE FOR HEATING. THIS IS A PRESSURE SWITCH WHICH CONFIRMS SMALL FAN IS RUNNING TO CLEAR RESIDUAL GAS BEFORE ALLOWING FURNACE TO FIRE

WRONG!!!! this pressure switch either opens or closes, depends on manufacture, to tell the board that the draft inducer motor is running, if this didnt run and gas light you would probally die of carbon monoxide posioning.

Two year old goodman gas fired unit. Led light blinks once , furnace starts up fan turns on and turns off. will not fire gass. [email protected]

Hello. sounds like a pressure switch issue, the pressure switch is open it must checked for a restriction in the flue pipe or blockage in the vent, the tubing going from the inducer motor to pressure could be loose, blocked, or have water in it, or the switch it self is going bad.

Pressure switch problems

Yes, check for obstructions. However, also check to ensure that you used an OEM pressure switch! See this video for an explanation: Amazon Furnace Parts: http://www.amazon.com/s/?_encoding=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&field-keywords=gas%20furnace%20parts&linkCode=ur2&tag=amznelite-20

Goodman furnace I think

Ok, a flashing 3 on a Goodman control board usually means that the pressure switch is tripping. A few things will cause this. One being a restriction in the exhaust or combustion air inlet. The second could indicate a faulty inducer blower motor and the third would be a blocked or bad pressure switch.
 
With the front cover off and door switch taped down, Have a helper turn the thermostat up to 75. You will be watching the circuit board for flashing lights and in a few seconds the inducer motor (the small fan hooked to the exhaust) will start. If this does not happen, we either have a bad circuit board or blower motor. If the fan starts rotating, inspect the hoses going to the small circular pressure switch. Sometimes they may get either water or debris in the hose and not allow the switch to sense pressure. If the hoses look OK, the igniter will glow an orange color and you will see this if you look thru the small viewing port. IF no glow, you could have a bad pressure switch, a bad ignition relay (found on the circuit board) or a bad igniter. OK so if the igniter glows, a few seconds later the gas valve should click open and send gas to the burners. The orange will turn to blue. If this does not happen, you have either a bad gas valve or bad circuit board. Finally if you get flame but it will not stay lit more than a few seconds, you may have a restriction in the burner gas train, a bad gas valve, a dirty or bad flame sensor or not enough gas pressure.
 
Knowing the sequence of operation will give you the needed information to talk with a service technician and cut down on diagnostic costs.
 
Try looking on the back of the furnace access panel for both model number and a diagnostic schematic. This will confirm what the flashing 3 code means for your unit.
 
Sorry, without knowing the model number, this is the best I can do for you. Good Luck!
