    Could be as simple as a pressure switch sticking or the vent could be clogged or any of several other things. Try tapping firmly on the pressure switch after the inducer starts. Often this will free up a stuck switch.

    I jumped the switch and that worked but the inducer blower motor I found out won't spin unless I start spinning it... So do I get another motor or? And if so how much on average does 1 cost? Thank you for responding cause kids are freezing lol!

    Try removing the jumper & giving the inducer a spin to get it started. The pressure switch should close on it's own.

    Most inducers don't have a capacitor but some do & what you describe is certainly an indication of a bad capacitor. Capacitors are cheap & usually very easy to replace. Inducers can run anywhere from $50 to a couple of hundred or more depening upon the furnace.

    Ok we'll I believe this one does if a capacitor is the thing on the side lol!
    This pressure switch sounds like it wants to reset I'd say but keeps clicking back and fan running cont.. I shut the power off think this will help and if so how long should I keep it off before trying again?

    Chris,
    A picture could be a big help. If you can take a few good clear shots, post them on a photo hosting site such as photobucket.com or similar & provide a link here, it will likely save us both a bunch of time & frustration, not to mention possibly saving you the cost of an inducer.
