Default Sportsman 500 no power

I am working on a 2005 sportsman 500. I am getting no power to anything when the key it turned on. I do have a good battery and all of the connections are clean and good. This thing has about 80 miles on it it is brand new. I was told that they started it up one day and after a min of running the hot light came on (it did not overheat) and then they turned it off and tried to start it and it was dead. Could this be a ECM? it does not have a the new one. please help and point me in some direction as where to look. thanks in advance.

Read the thread a few lines below. "Fusible Link Blown?". Maybe problem is similar.

I'm presently looking at the Polaris parts site. It shows where in the circuit it is but I can't read the symbols. GunSmoke points in the right direction so you might read his reply and it may help.

yeah, i got it figured out now it turns out it was the ECM. I tested the power to it and it was there just not exiting the ECM. Thanks for the help though.
