took the fan off the wires are fine, the ground is where it should be, you can even see a spot from where the ground has always been, im guessing its just the fan motor is burnt out which would make sense because when the fan blade broke the motor was just spinning, and also it got caught in a bind a couple times...theyre only like 40 bucks on ebay but still i just bought a ****in 40 dollar fan blade, whatever tho
