    We can't answer DIY question due to forum rules and liability reasons.

    Please call a qualified tech. You could mess something up major by doing what your asking about

    And that's putting it mildly. This ain't no place for the unskilled or the faint of heart.

    Jump a furnace...

    It would probably be easiest if you lay it down...most furnaces nowadays are around 40" tall, you might be able to jump a Rheem or Carrier 80% vertically...

    .

    first, furnace is a vague term.

    wood, coal, pellet, corn, gas, oil, straight electric, or heat pump.

    each one can be different.

    You should fill out your profile, and register as a pro if you want better answers.

    Sometimes yah have to pole vault, those older ones were too high to hurdle
    The way we build has a greater impact on our comfort, energy consumption and IAQ than any HVAC system we install.

    i think he means "jump"er. i would take all of the wires in the furnace and splice them together, you will need a big wire nut. turn off the power before you splice, you don't wanna blow the fuse.
