Different codes For and Rev are related to field.  
See if motor field is shorted to frame. Might as well check armature too.

Most likely cause is a shorted field transistor in controller.  
About a $150 repair once controller is out of car.

Thank you for the quick response. I left it sit for about an hour and it started working again. What is up with that??
