A limit open is saying that your furnace is over heating. a few things could be wrong. dirty filters, blocked air return or closed vents. the roll out switch,if your furnace has one , is also in this loop .it normaly will be needed to reset and is on top of the roll out sheild in the burner compartment. call a repair company if this is the problem.

1993 goodman status light 4 times blinking

Witch blower is running, the inducer or the systems blower?
System blower could mean the the high limit is opening and shutting down the systems gas train, I would check this out first.

The other problem could be with the pressure switch for the gas train, it is supplied from the inducer motor, check to see if it is operating fully.

HSI boards do go from time to time, this sounds more like a system control problem.

My electric furnace constantly runs.. no cold or hot air blowing through the vents.. red LED light blinks 4 times saying limit switch open.. how do I fix the problem?

You'll need to replace the fan limit switch. This little switch is what tells your blower when to kick on and when to shut off. It's stuck open.
