Furnace Fan won't turn off, 2004 Alpha 40'

I am a new motorhome owner (8/2016). My furnace's blower would not turn off with the thermostat (blowing air, no heat) so I accessed the main switch through the outside panel to turn it off.

Is there a filter somewhere that could be clogged and causing the safety relay to turn off the heat and keep the fan blowing? I've poured over the book and opened every panel I can find and am confounded.

Thanks for any input.
  • The furnace fan will run after the heat shuts of for a few minutes till everything (ducts and heater itself) cools down. This is normal.

    The switch mentioned above only controls the A/C fan I believe.
  • Could it be that simple as the On/Auto switch position? Let's hope so.
  • Usually there's a switch on the thermostat that says "Fan On/Auto". In Auto, the fan runs with the furnace. In On, the fan runs all the time.
