Default 2006 sportsman 500 electrical problems

Been having electrical problems. Replaced the ECM today and still no power to anything at all. Battery is good. If I jump the solenoid the starter will turn but still no power to anything else. Any help would be appreciated.

Would suspect the left control switch or ignition switch or its wiring if you've replaced the ecm. Pull the two connectors and clean with electrical contact cleaner,plus not a bad idea to spray inside the cracks and crevices of the switch and work the on/off emergency switch back and forth.Plus on some I've noticed that if you push the connectors in a little after they click sometimes you can restore power.Plus don't over look a wiring short from the ignition switch or from the left switch connectors leading down into the main harness under the front panel. A lot of twisting and turning of the wiring in this area.
