Good Afternoon ,

The furnace runs off of the battery so if the battery is totally drained it wont start .

Customer
Battery was fully charged. Brand new battery.

The shore power should charge the battery when its plugged in , if its not plugged in the battery will go dead in a few days from the propane detector or running the furnace will kill

Are you plugged in ?

Customer
Furnace wouldn't engage

is the battery still dead ?

does the fan come on ? what is the furnace doing ?

Customer
Got battery charged from generator. Fan not running. Nothing happeneing
Customer
Set T stat highest and never kicked on

you want to check the battery voltage first if the fan isn't even coming on its either low voltage , bad thermostat or a bad blower . until the blower starts the furnace wont even try to light

Customer
test voltage and if good......any way to track which is bad?

then the thermostat is just an open and closes switch it just connects the 2 wires to the furnace .

if it is sending 12 vols back to the furnace , then you need to start troubleshooting the furnace .

Customer
Replacement cost?

you can find service manuals here .

It probably doesn't need to be replaced , worst case scenario would be a bad control board which may be $150 ,

new furnace is probably(###) ###-####depending on the size
