Coleman EB17B Fan Countinuously Runs

The fan in the inside unit of our Coleman unit continuously runs unless the breaker is turned off. The first step was to replace the t-stat, which had no results. The fan on the inside unit runs regardless of the settings on the t-stat (even when the fan is switched to off). The outside unit runs fine, comes on and off when it should, but not the inside unit.
Therefore, I am planning on in this order:
Replacing the fan relay switch (3110-3301)
Replacing the Sequencer if that doesn't work.
Is there anything else I should consider? Any testing I should do before replacing any parts?
Thanks!

Forgot to mention, this unit is in a double-wide that is 5 years old.

That would be a logical choice. The fan relay can stick closed causing this problem.
The heat sequencer would be my next choice part number 3115-3571

Hi Scott,
Turn t-stat OFF and with unit running continously, follow these steps:
Set meter to test for 300+ vac and test these at blower relay:
Terminals 2 and 4, test across, one lead on each = ???
Terminals 5 and 6 = ???
Then set meter to test for 30+ vac and test here:
Blower Relay 1 and 3, test across those also.
THEN, go to Sequencer and leave meter to test for 30+vac and test here:
H1 and H2, test across those 2.
Set meter back to test for 300+vac and test here:
M1 and M2, test across those 2.
This will identify faulty part and save $$$ from buying unneeded parts.
Take care and best wishes,
Robert
