I couldn't hear anything out of the ordinary in the video, but such is the nature of a cellphone video posted to youtube.

Are there any diagrams or placards on the inside or outside of the access doors that list the blink codes?
The noise was only heard while the unit was actually producing heat, so you won't hear it in this video.

I didn't think to check the inside of the panel or anything to find codes. The code equals number of short blinks for first digit, number of long blinks indicates second digit. I come up with 12 (1 short, 2 long).

This is what it says for 12:

Blower on after power up. (115 VAC or 24 VAC. Blower runs for 90 seconds, if unit is powered up during a call for heat (R-W closed) or R-W opens during blower-on delay.

Sure enough, fan shuts off after the 90 second mark. There is a component test section under the service sticker that I believe troubleshoots a particular component. It says to turn off the thermostat and short the test/twin terminal to the "Com 24V" terminal and it appears that it'll give me another code to indicate any of the following:

13-Limit circuit lockout
14-Ignition lockout
21-Gas heating lockout
22-Abornmal flame proving signal
23-Pressure switch did not open
24-Secondary voltage fuse is open
31-Pressure switch did not close or reopened
33-Limit circuit fault
34-Ignition proving failure
45-Control circuitry lockout

It pretty much details what the check for in each component that could cause the code. For now, I'm going to go pull the breaker to it and go from there.

I happen to have a guy coming out sometime this week to evaluate adding another vent in each of my rooms over the garage that don't do the best job of heating/cooling compared to the other rooms upstairs, which is expected. May just hold off and let a "pro" save me a lot of headache cuz time is something I don't have much of as a full-time nursing student, working 24 hours/week, and trying to be a dad/husband at the same time.
