Default Furnace burner remains burning after blower shuts down... intermittent concern

Hello,

My furnace recently started this. It goes thru the normal cycle

but
intermittently will continue burning after the blower shuts down.

It
will burn for maybe 30-45 seconds or so after shut down... then

burners
off. Then after about 30 seconds the blower will come back on for

about
30 seconds.

It just had its bi annual checkup with the local HVAC company

about
30
days ago and the only notation they made was possible low

batteries
in
the thermostat. I replaced those shortly after the service because

I
noticed this problem on the first use of the furnace, and

unfortunately
have procrastinated finding the root cause since.


The first thing I would look at is the fan/limit switch, too...


Then the blower motor relay. Seen a few with intermittant solder
connections where the coil windings attach to the terminals...
