Furnace problem

I was running the furnace to keep things around 55 degrees while working on a project. All was working fine. I left it on overnight and at some point ran out of propane. I came out to find the furnace fan running but no heat. I switched tanks and still no heat. Pulled the furnace cover and saw I was getting a flame sensor trouble code. I do have propane as the stove works fine. I could not hear the igniter clicking when I turn on the furnace. I pulled the igniter to find it was working, but I wonder if it is not getting enough juice. Would that be the igniter or the control board. Anything else I should check?
Thanks for any advice

I've emptied a tank or two running the furnace but never experienced your problem.

I think you may need to reset the thermostat in this case.

I've also been there done that. Disconnect your shore power and turn your battery disconnect off for a bit. Kill all the electric to the thermostat and the control board for a bit, I'd bet it will kick on like normal after all the errors clear.

Furnace is working properly now. Just needed a little time off to reset.
Thanks

Where does the "drink beer" part come in. Sounds like a six pack fix.

yes that is called a " 2 beer repair " ..sometimes you have to step back and take a couple deep breaths... mostly when it says .. wait for the time out period for the auto start to reset ....but they never say how long that time out period is ....

Why did you manually switch tanks?
