You may want to tell us the name and model # of your furnace. Also there is a Fleetwood forum here Fleetwood Products Owner's Forum - iRV2 Forums , where some help may be available.

I betcha that if you remove the exterior cover, there's a diagram on the back of it. That REALLY helps a whole lot. Suggest you remove & re-seat the pcboard connector. then flip the sail switch while the fan is on. Might do it. Just for grins, check for 12V at the terminmals of the sail switch. with the fan on. Also, check the voltage at the red wire going to the board, with the fan running.

I wrote a Furnace Troubleshooting Guide a couple years ago. See if this helps:
http://www.rvforum.net/miscfiles/Furnace_Trouble-2.pdf

You can download a manual for your Atwood furnace here:
Owners Manuals

and a Service manual here:

Hey Mike,

Gary Brinck's check list is the way to go.
I would always check the easy things, as Phil suggested.
Check propane level, turn on propane, get stove lit so we know propane
is flowing, listen for the ignition spark series after fan is activated and then dig deeper. If you have an on/off switch at the thermostat, flip it about 10 times and do the same to the temp setting dial, (cleans contacts off.)

That's my 2 cents worth and worth every penny,

Steve

A big thank you for all the advice and information. We checked everything over and turned the thermostat off and on a few times and voila!!! Probably had some electrical corrosion???? Heading out tomorrow. You are an awesome group and we look forward to sharing your knowledge down the road mjk
