Coleman arced now no power

Hello,
Well I admit first off I broke it, please help me fix it. After a few cool nights I decided to kick on the heat for the first time. The thermostat clicked and the honeywell board pulsed correctly and tried to light the furnace, no luck followed by a single blink, ignition lockout. Worked fine last year, not know, but had blower motor clanking and banging due to bad bushing. Replaced motor AC worked fine. Back to issue. I rested my hand (carelessly) against the wires where it looks like a transformer is and a clear plastic piece, which caused it to arc. Now I have no power to the unit at all. The circuit breaker never tripped but still have no power, green light on the honeywell is off. So got zapped and broke the coleman too. Any ideas what I may have fried, other than me?

Thanks for your time and trouble

Hi,

I moved your post here to this forum.

It is now in the proper place. When you have a furnace/AC question they are posted in this forum.

We also have a Repair, Decorating, OT (off topic) Website Questions and Computer questions forums. Please feel free to use all the forums.

Hi Mike,

You most likely fried the transformer by shorting wires together.

You would have to test the secondary 24vac side to see if it is ok or not.

Is this in a mobile home ?

Thanks,
Robert
