Yeah and then you get the idiot engineer who designed the control  
board for my Carrier furnace.

EVERY safety-related sensor is tied to the SAME Blink code.  "31".

No information that's useful for troubleshooting/replacing sensors  
that have failed at all.

Blink codes can't fix retarded design... unfortunately.
