Furnace Blower Motor Running??

My MH has been stored in my back yard for the past 2 weeks and today my wife said she noticed a beeping inside the coach. I found it was the CO detector indicating low voltage. So I plugged in the coach to shore power. Then later in the day she noticed a noise coming from the return air grill for the main furnace located under the oven in the kitchen. When I checked it sounded like the furnace blower motor was running but just barely... I made sure the t-stat was turned off. It was. So now I am stumped! Has anyone else encountered this issue?

It below freezing temps in my area right now so I left it for the night but will investigate more on the weekend as the temps are supposed to be much better.

Thoughts?

Is your converter next to the furnace like mine is?? If so, what you are hearing is the cooling fan in the converter.

Thanks for the reply.
I am actually not sure where my converter is located. But it’s quite possible it’s in there. When the temps warm up on the weekend I will remove the return air grill and have a look.

If it is an Atwood furnace, your control board is wet. Remove outside access, dry board with a hair dryer on low heat.
