My furnace motor would run but no fire. Removed furnace
and put on my work bench, hooked up propane & 12 volts.
It worked perfect, I though I had a bad ground. Reinsalled
the furance & again no fire. Any ideas.

I had the same problem. It turned out to be a high resistance in the thermostat. Try shorting the thermostat wires together at the furnace. If it fires off, replace the thermostat.

How could you possibly know if it works if it's 74???
Come up to Minnesota and we'll test it out. I had my furnace running a couple of days ago, it was about 5 degrees out...
Yes I'm jealous

It ain't 74 in the mornings when I get up. I had it on this morning again while I showered. Gets pretty nippy in here over night. When the sun sets in Az, it can get cold, especially at 3600 feet.
Here is the funny part, I should not tell on myself, but what the heck. I ran the wires back as far as the electrical box compartment and that is as far as I got, so far. So, I put the thermostat on the wires and have it working. I am thinking maybe Teri will drill a couple of holes in the bedroom wall this afternoon and finish up my install. It needs to be in our bedroom.
