I assume that the Draft induser is the smaller blower that appears to go to the chimney... it clicks to try and come on but does not... it does not spin freely at all... can this be my issue???
Update - Being the intuitive person I am, I figured out where the pressure switch, the line to it, and the draft induser were... Safety precaution were used, turn breaker off to the furnace and turn switch off... and used common sense.. as stated above, the draft induser fan did not spin freely... I figured out how to remove it to see if it was a bearing or maybe a fan that got bent stuck or otherwise... and to my surprise, I found what was left of a starling in the end of the draft induser... I just removed it, and am putting it back together now to see if it worked... I'll post when done....
Update 2 - Unlike the bird I removed, my furnace is now working properly... the kids are warm, the wife is happy and I am the hero.... for tonight... But I could never have fixed it without your help... thank you ever so much... I took a picture of it before I removed the bird... I posted it to my album.... I will inspect the chimney tomorrow and ensure that there is no way another Firebird can come in...
