Blower runs constantly

Check the thermostat fan setting first, then whether the board is holding the blower on for a safety (open limit) or a stuck relay. On electric furnaces a stuck sequencer can do the same.

Furnace runs no heat (blower only or nothing)

Start with the board LED code, then work the call path: thermostat, 24 V, safeties, inducer, ignition, flame proving. Most no-heat calls end at a filter, a flame sensor, a pressure switch issue or gas being off.

Limit trips / overheating (airflow)

The limit protects the heat exchanger from overheating. The fix is almost always airflow: filter, blower, ducts. Rollout switch trips are different and must be referred.
