Is the furnace firing with the thermostat turned down?

It is hard guessing what the wires are from here. I think you will need to get a cheap meter to check which is which.

Another way that might work it remove the wire you think is the fan wire and see if the fan position still turns the fan on. If it doesn't then try making the furnace fire with it off and that should tell for sure that it is the right wire.

Can you get that any clearer? I can't read the smaller words on it.

Looking at your pictures again, I think those rounds disks in the one picture may be the fan controller and the high limit. Try taking a piece of wire and jumper from one side to the other. If one of them has 3 wires on it try that first.

If that doesn't work then I will need to see a clear picture of the wiring diagram.

Then you can connect the relay module there and it should work. Use the same wiring I mentioned earlier and put the red wire to one side and the black to the other. (I think the 3rs wire in that group is brown, that isn't used)

The one you mentioned in your first post should work. That is what I was getting the wire colors from.

Does the Honeywell fan center have 2 sets of wires on it? One a black and a white and the other a red, a black and a brown?

The manual I founds lists the colors as red, black and brown.

You need to connect the white and black wires to a 120v power source.
Connect the black wire to one side of the fan switch and the orange to the other. Then if you jumper the R and W terminals on the honeywell module together the fan should start. If it does then connect those terminals to the same on the thermostat.
