another tech I work with was replacing heat exchanger on 15 ton rooftop when someone mentioned to him the blower runs all the time & will not shut off .. long story short he called me & i tryed talkin him through this because i am very familiar with L series controllers (26 individual units of this type i have accounts on, monthly PM + repair) .. but ended up showing up there .. its not the stat, not the controller, its not because of occupied, i even checked ecto settings & they are all ok .... at least im 99% sure .. ...system consists of one stat, no sensor .. all functions are normal but fan doesnt stop ... there is 24vac at contactor & i can pull it off at the boards output or contactor, which shuts it off... but unfortunately i cant live there & remove after every cycle ..unable to stay because of the company xmas party that night so we left & i am going back wednesday ....also it was 10 degrees outside so i know i wasnt 100% focused... i am going to check the quagmire of wires & make sure last company didnt rig the thing through the terminal strip(just got account) ..anyone with knowledge on these systems i would appreciate any ideas u may have .. i will find & resolve issue ... but maybe one of u has seen this b4 & can save me a little time

Check the primary limit switch S10 and S99. If either limit trips the N.O. contacts will energize the K3 blower relay.

thanks for your input ... now because of the cold that day & time issues i didnt thoroughly check everything but am sure the limit wasnt tripped, A. heat functions, B. no 50 code.... however i have seen instances where the N.O. side of switch had voltage at the same time as N.C. but i didnt check because again of no codes .. well because of the emergencies with the cold i havent made it back but when i do i will check that .. i appreciate your thoughts on the issue .. i will have more time the next visit to ohm all the switches & find any voltage drops not relating to this issue & clean them up .. this unit is older & needs a facelift anyway

CDO you rule ... lol .... in less than 2 minutes i had my problem figured out & locating it was next.. i went right to the board & checked pin 111 # 3 & it had 24v ..I should have got it last time i am mad at myself lol..after pulling blower slide S10 ( as far as N.O. side )was ok as was S21 & S100... it was frikkan S99 & it didnt register as a signal loss because N.O. & N.C. were carrying signal ... i replaced S10 because it was in crappy shape & repaired a **** load of wiring .. this unit is on the ocean so **** is bad ... it had a very nice copper/copper evap though..all is good.. thanks & pat yourself on the shoulder for me
