    OK sounds like you have a bad cooling fan relay. At you furnace. Does your furnace have a control board in the blower compartment?

    The you either have a bad fan relay at your furnace. Or the green wire is broke or not touching at the t-stat. I would check the green wire at the stat first

    If that is not the problem we can go from there.

    Well it must be the fan relay unless like you said the wire is broke somewhere where I can't see it
