Repair or replace ignition power supply (para 8-2 thru 8-4).
2. HEATER IGNITES BUT BLOWER FAILS TO RUN.
Step 1. Turn power on, wait for time delay, and check for 28 vdc across motor terminals using a multimeter set to read de voltage.
Replace control relay if there is no power for motor terminals. Refer to paragraph 7-2 thru 7-4.
Step 2. Disconnect motor leads at plug in connector and motor ground terminal. Connect to external source of 28 vdc.
