Hi Steve,
I actually read the operating manual for the thermostat. when we acquired
the house, the furnace did not come with an operating manual (its been
through two owners). I just forgot the step of tagging the wires when
changing from the old thermostat to the new. I was able to test each wire
of the thermostat and determine that it was hooked up correct (no shorts)
and traced each wire from the thermostat from to the actual furnace. I was
also able to adjust the temperature of my fan limiter to have the fan
shutoff after a reasonable time frame so that issue is fixed. But the fan
still does not work when I switch the thermostat to the on position for
the fan.
any ideas here?

Its not wired correctly, and the thermostat(if digital), is not set
up/programed correctly. Call somebody who knows WTF they are doing before
you fry the transformer, and/or control board(s)
