How to turn off Continuous Fan on Lennox BCC2-1

I've recently replaced my Lennox board (BCC2-1). And it has Continuous Fan on, so it's been blowing air (cold) when the heat is not on. I want to bypass the continuous fan option but I'm unsure how to do that. This is the setup of the board:

Any ideas? I feel like the solution is easy and right in front of me, but I don't know how to approach it. Thanks

The paperworks you linked to don't show a continuous fan setting. Did you check that the fan switch is in 'auto' on the thermostat? After that, there is a fan off delay that will keep the fan on for at most ≈270 seconds, you're sure you aren't just seeing that?
I'm not sure of the sequence of operations of that board, but certain faults (limit switches mostly) can result in the fan being energized; I wouldn't expect heating cycles if that were the case though.
Then, if course, it could be a defective board or a wiring fault. I'd pull the G wire off & see if that makes it stop, then all the stat wires.

There’s a switch from the motor to the Lennox board. It’s a red wire to the switch then connected to the continous fan (CT) terminal. I’ve switched it both ways and it doesn’t seem to change anything. The fan runs when I turn power on. I even tried disconnecting the red wire from the CT terminal.
Everything is else is working perfectly. It’s just the fan.
Also, I have a Nest smart thermostat. It doesn’t have a fan auto control. My house is old and only has the W and R wires connected to the Nest thermostat.0 -
Sounds like the board is bad. If the board has a CT or CF or CONT terminal for continuous fan, all the others should be de energized when idle, delay timers not withstanding. One of them is stuck on.
post pics of the board showing the wires & terminals, & maybe one of the schematic.

Unhook the red wire to the CT switch. See what happens.0

Here is a diagram, I’ll take a pic as soon as. Canratio said:Sounds like the board is bad. If the board has a CT or CF or CONT terminal for continuous fan, all the others should be de energized when idle, delay timers not withstanding. One of them is stuck on.

Take off the stat wires R & W. Does the fan still run?0

Is this problem solved? I have exactly the same issue here after I replaced the ignition control module. It shouldn't impact the BCC2 board but now the fan runs nonstop at low speed, starting 45 seconds after power is restored to furnace. I can run the fan (at high speed) from my Nest, but I can't seem to turn off this continuous running slow fan mode. The CF terminal on the BCC2 board is not connected.0
