No heat
Was using the furnace tonite but noticed the fan kept running but the air from the vents were cool. Swapped tanks but didnt make a difference. Got propane at the cook stove. What should i look for?...

Ok, so i finally got a chance this weekend to cleanup the battery terminals and wiring. Its starting to cool down a bit here so having the heat would be nice for late at night.
But still having the same problem. It did work well for a few hrs cycling on and off, then, just cold air. So far here is what ive done or discovered:
-Its a Suburban SF-30 furnace
-Cleaned battery terminals
-Cleaned and inspected furnace inlets and exhaust
-Inspected and tested sail switch
-Replaced propane 2 stage regulator
-Discovered batteries were at 10.3 volts at the battery terminals with heater running.
Thats as far as ive gotten so far. Im thinking, this may be a low voltage issue. On occasion, when its not firing, the fan does sound slower. So last nite, with the furnace running, i pulled the cover and gave the sail switch a little lift and the burner ignited. So i was thinking of replacing the sail switch but it could be that it is actually just doing what it was designed to do.
Is it possible that the converter is not charging the batteries properly and how would i test that theory?
Thank you guys for all your help, i wouldnt have got this far with out you.
