    The reason the fan comes on is it is on a timer which turns the fan on "X" seconds after the thermostat calls for heat. I doesn't know or care if the flame lit or not.

    There should be a small hose going from the exhaust blower to the pressure switch. Take it off the blower & suck very gently. If you hear the switch click, the problem is not with the switch. If the switch clicks, use a paper clip to clean out the nipple to which the hose connected at the blower & try the furnace again.
