Default furnace blows cold air on summer, but does not blow on winter

No, you still have one part not working. That is the thermostat that
senses
the heat and turns the blower on. If you have no idea about it, call a
service tech. Tell them the problem and they may bring the part with
them. Simple fix.- Hide quoted text -

That is the thermostat that senses the heat and turns the blower
on.

Are you saying that the thermostat in my living room monitors the heat
exchanger temperature and turns on/off the blower?


No


I'm not sure how it works with a "modern" furnace, but I can say
without a doubt that my old furnace had a sensor in the plenum that
controlled the blower based on the air temp. You needed the thermostat
to call for heat to turn the burners on, but you also needed heat to
turn the blower on.

Yes, that is the one.
There is a thermostatic controlled high/low limit switch that tells the
blower to go on or go off. Depending on the model, there may be other
controls too but I've not worked on a furnace in recent years and kept up
with every control.
