Question: Fan/Blower motor problems

I've been getting no heat so i started with a new blower motor resistor and harness and nothing worked, so I checked the ground and then my fan was working...until you turn it up to high. When you turn it up to high it doesn't work anymore. I'm wondering if there is a short or whats wrong.
