Furnace and or thermostat problem

Currenly on a trip and running A/C and not furnace.
The furnace started to make a fan noise and the sound like it's trying to fire the gas.
Moved thermostat to off and back and forth to heat with no change the noise is there yet.
I removed the 15 amp fuse marked furnace and the noise stopped. Problem solved right ? No the thermostat must run off that fuse because then the A/C does not work.
Took access panel off of furnace and can't see any easy fix, that's over my pay grade.
I'm thinking to disconnect a wire to the thermostat that controls the furnace? Which one ?
Furnace is Suburban
Thermostat is Coleman Mach





Thanks for any help

    Many of us have replaced with digital units. You maybe could put that in the projects bin.

    I agree and replacement is on the short list now.
    Thanks

    A google search of that thermo should give you the manual and the wiring. If your internet connection isn't good I can do that for you.

    I'm assuming you've not done that already or you wouldn't be asking us. But it seems like every time I say this, the poster comes back and says he did that.


    Thanks
    Google turned up its the white wire for the furnace
    What could be causing this ?
    Bad thermostat ?
    Furnace problems ?
    After turning thermostat off and on and pulling fuse the original problem has stopped.
    I did give the thermostat a light tap or two can that help or hurt ?
    Was this caused by the thermostat running on AUTO and not on normal ON position ?
    Thanks
