Hi all, sorry this is long but I am trying to give as much info to see if someone has any input. I have had issues with my furnace for a while (a few years) but now I want to get it fixed so I ...

I don't think the sewing needle made the hole any bigger. It was a very small needle that had plenty of play around it when it went in. I will definitely watch for soot though. Thanks.
Now, for something new. Same appliance, different issue. Tonight I put the furnace back in its place in the trailer to test the trailer propane system running through it. I hooked up the propane and then just quickly hooked the furnace power wires to a battery in the middle of the floor. Everything worked great, fired right away. I thought I was done. Wrong! I removed the wires from the battery but as soon as I hooked the power wires to the trailer circuit that was powering it before, it blew the fuse. What the heck. Took the furnace wires off again, replaced the fuse and tested that circuit again without the furnace. Works fine. It's the same circuit that operates my fridge. As soon as I add the furnace to the circuit, it blows the fuse. This isn't an overloading issue as the fridge wasn't on and this is the same way this circuit has been wired from day one.
So, obviously the furnace is the issue but I cannot figure out why. Once again I took the furnace out (for probably the fifth time) and looked for loose or damaged wires. Nothing. I thought for sure I would find a nick in a wire from moving the furnace around so much. I cannot find one anywhere. I am starting to get a little annoyed with this appliance.
Any ideas on this issue?
