Just an FYI: In the mean time (York still close to dead) my Trane XE80 failed again over at the condo. LED on the control board flashes 4 times indicating a Hi Limit switch open. 3 hi limit switches are all connected in series with yellow wires. Blower comes on but it will never set the igniter to glow or light the gas.
Sensor Locations:
There are 2 in the blower compartment, one on each side of the burners. These look more like a silver discs, again with the 2 yellow wires in series.
There's also one on the bulkhead wall that looks like a flat piece of fiberglass with 2 wires on spade clips coming out of it (long probe goes into the firebox). Look on the wiring diagram, the are all usually wired in series. Short out (jumper across) each, one at a time, to figure out which one is bad. Placing a jumper across my bulkhead sensor allowed complete furnace functionality to be restored. This part has gone bad twice in less than 2 years.
Note: Since the same part failed again, the long probe that goes into firebox, is there a bad lot (code)? This part has not even been in this furnace for more than one year.

blower looks OK. One speed stinks when it runs (smells burned) but it does run. So I think the motor is shot and there is something else amiss (since the speed that is "burned" never gets to run unless i hold or keep the limit switch from cutting off the gas before it gets to run the faster speed.
motor model is 5KCP39DGN648BS

The blower was actually shot. It did not run up to speed. I replaced the furnace.
