First unplug your furnace to reset it then plug it back in with thermostat set to heat high enough to make the heat come on. As soon as the inducer motor came on you JUMP the 2 wires that go to pressure switch. Your igniter should come on and gas valve should open for heat. If the flame stay on the blower should come on after a few minutes. If it get to this point your problem could be pressure switch itself or inducer clogged.

    The induced draft proving switch can fail , however it is far more common that the port on the induced draft assembly where the tubing for the pressure switch attaches has obstructed with carbom and must be cleared with a tiny drill bit or paper clip if nothing else is handy, this is a very common problem, if this orifice is not cleared every year you can count on this happening.

SOURCE: no hot surface igniter

This is why swapping parts is never a good idea. It could be a board, pressure switch, or several other issues. I'm a service technician and realize that many furnace issues are difficult to diagnose over the phone, or internet.
Calling a qualified, NATE certified technician to diagnose and repair this properly is probably the best solution that I could suggest. Yes, there will be a bill and it will be expensive, but it will be a lot less so than changing out parts you might not need.

SOURCE: pressure switch stuck open

It most likely is not stuck..... It is just doing its job. You "most likely" have over problems. To "properly" diagnos this problem you will need a manehelic gauge. You can have a wide variety of problems from as simple as a blocked or disconnected vacum hose to a lifetheatening problem.... a blocked flue pipe or a bad heatexchanger.

SOURCE: I had a friend install my new Goodman GMH950704CX

The most common mistake on these after installation is not flipping the switch on the gas valve from 'off' to "On". Remove the top panel and in the middle of the cabinet the gas line comes into an aluminum looking device. There is a switch on top. If that is on, ensure that the gas has been turned back on.

SOURCE: Goodman GDS80904BNA LED Blinks 3 Times

had similar problems with same furnace. I think the 3 blinks is high limit event. either way with the power off to the furnace remove the board from the 4 clips holding it on one at a time then turn it over and look at it you will be able to tell if the board is bad because it will appear scortched and the resin will be bubbled up where it went bad. replace board and you will be fine. went through 2 in 2 years all of a sudden they are being made by a different company from the original and the 1st replacement. now all is fine. Take a good picture of the board close up so you can reconnect all the wires properly. Friend of mine got it from a wholesaler for $55.00

Testimonial: "The circuit board was definately the problem. Got it replace (still under warranty) with an updated board and everything is working great. Thanks!"

SOURCE: Goodman GS9 propane furnace inducer motor runs continuously

it sounds like the low temp limit switch, the one that cools the furnace down with the burner off and the thermostat open, when it cools to a point the fan stops, the other switch in burner area turns burner off/on, hope this helps

I have the same problem. The vent flu. Is building up condensation and running back into the furnace and cloggs the little black vent hose with water. Then it comes back on then off etc.
somehow the trick is to make as straight of an upward vent flu as possible ( definitely not 45 degree elbows and really not 60's either) seal all connections with glue.

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

No heat from furnace, Goodman GMPN080-4 Rev A. Cycle is solid red status light, then 3 flashes indicating open pressure switch because the inducer fan does not come on.

Jimbo, it sounds like you are aware of the operational sequence to suggest using a voltmeter to check the actual wires going TO the combustion air fan...if there is no voltage from the board, the board is bad. Just make sure one of the high temp limits are not open... one may be in the blower compartment on some and one will be near the top of the vestibule and a roll out switch should be near the burners. They should all be wired in series.

Always check the manual reset safty switches as the first step in troubleshooting.

Draft Inducer problem

On the call for heat from the thermostat the inducer should come on first, a pressure switch proves that the inducer is moving enough air up the stack, closes and energizes the ignition and burners come on. 30 to 60 seconds later the blower comes on. Everything should stay on as long as the thermostat is still calling for heat. When the thermostat is satisfied the burner and inducer shut off and the fan will run to remove the heat from the heat exchanger and then shut off. Cycle complete. Some inducers have a post purge so when the thermostat is satisfied the burner shuts off, the inducer runs for 30 seconds or so and then shuts off. I am thinking that your furnace may be running on the limit switch and when the burner is off but the inducer stays on, maybe the limit is shutting of the inducer. Check your air filter and make sure all your heat registers are open and that the return air grill is not blocked.

Rheem 90+ NG Furnace. When furnace starts, draft inducer starts, ignitor glows and gas ignites. Burners stay lit for 10 seconds or so, then the flame reduces for a few seconds then goes out. Main blower...

Check the draft inducer air switch ( vacuum diaphragm switch) If the switch is opening when the burner starts, you might have a blockage on air piping coming into the furnace. Also prime the condensate trap on the condensate drain from the combustion fan. Also check the gas pressure, if your gas pressure is dropping, the gas pressure switch will shut it down. If it's too high the moment it comes on could raise the pressure in the furnace dropping out the combustion fan proving switch.
