Chris will know more, but I think your thermostat is suspect. That is somewhat of an old mechanical style.
You should be able to pick up a digital Hunter from local Walmart that should be able to handle what you have.
Wait to see what Chris has to say.

You were right! The new thermostat worked like a charm.

All you did was to reset the circuit board- when you unplugged the motor, the sail switch opened, then closed again when you plugged it back in.You could do the same thing by shutting the thermostat down, then back up.
Look at the far left side, unplug the edge connector on the circuit board and plug it back in a couple of times.
I second the thermostat suggestion- *if* the thermostat only controls the furnace, or if it is an old Coleman mechanical thermostat.

It's a coleman thermostat. Is the circuit board by the furnace? If yes, I discconnect that a couple times. I discconected all the wires on the thermostat and then connected them again.

The wire in the video is the leads to the motor.
I would check the thermostat first.
Remove cover find the two wires that go to the furnace. Dis connect them, twist the two wires together. The furnace should start up, and produce heat in 10-15 seconds. The separate the two wires, furnace should go into shut down, cool down and then shut off.
Are you running on battery or shore power?

I'll try that! Shore power.
