    There shouldn't be that much to it. The red wire from the transformer should go to the limit switch, and then to a relay. Another terminal on the relay will go back to the transformer. When the limit switch heats up, it closes sending power through the relay coil. That closes the contacts between the line from the house and the lead to the blower turning the blower on. Relays are notorious problem causers. Fortunately, on older furnaces, they are cheap and easy to check and replace. Follow the lead from the blower back to a little box with 4 wires.

    Replace the fan limit control. It is a dial looking device in most cases. When the heat exchanger warms up, it senses the heat and turnson the blower.
