    You can't jump out a pressure switch. The first thing the board looks for is an open switch. If it's jumped out the furnace will lockout. You really shouldn't be jumping out safties.

    Oh my! Ever get that kind of call late at night? "Hey, this is Bubber. I ain't go no heat and I'z thinkin about taking a wire.... cause that little blower that comes on first ain't workin"...". I'm don't plan on getting sued for telling someone how to by-pass a safety.

    Bob I totally understand you have a problem but please call someone to come check. Gas (and electricity) are nothing to play with. When you short your system and smoke the transformer it's going to cost more to repair (if you don't get hurt or blow it up).

    Furnace won't fire if presssure switch is always made.

    What ever happened to good ole Bob? I heard he jumped out that safety switch on his gas furnace, the fire department had a heck of a time putting it out being it was fully involved by the time they got there. To bad he didn't call someone who knew what they were doing...

    RIP
