Dear Blackhawk
I have no idea what furnace you have or what it may look like
but what you describing, to me it seems that when furnace have
reach satisfactory temperature something is trying to limit
that temperature or even perhaps trying to shout it down
check you limit control device it could be set little closer
then it should be I will also assumed that this is hot element
turn on and not arc type device turn on
the capacitor are normally use in running winning to keep
motor running in right direction and are on at all time
as long as fan is on also be careful running capacitors always
are having much higher voltage then your supply voltage
and can also have charge in them even after unit is bee
shout down

Hey Dildo, my friend is a medical professor at John Hopkins University.
He's willing to pay your family one million dollars for your brain when you
die....because it's never been used...
