Thanks for the advice, DIDO.

I have another furnace which is a year younger, with a different
control board. If the capacitor on that unit is identical, I will use
it for the test.

Why don't you quit fucking with stuff you don't understand and get it fixed
by a pro?

I recall this discussed before, don't remember the final answer.

        You should always start with radio interference problems establishing
that the unit is grounded. It could well be a component, but many
circuits count on the ground to shield other circuits from RFI.

        Also, don't count on the installer as having grounded the unit. I had
to tell mine to do so even though the installation instructions clearly
specified they should do so.

Thanks for the advice Ken.

I checked the wiring and the furnace is properly grounded, at least by
visual inspection. Do you have any other ideas?
