Default Polaris does not have power

Need Help. My 2005 ranger lost all power except to the fuel pump. Battery is fully charged. I understand there are not any fuses. Does anyone have any ideas on what the problem is?

Is there power to red/white wire at terminal board next to battery with key on? Does ANY wire at ECM under hood have power? Also there is a brake switch with 2 wires under left front fender that acts as a starter interlock along as a brakelight switch,have had one bad would not start,BUT had power to lights,etc. Jump across the 2 wires and see? Is this a 500 or 700xp? If xp disconnect ECU connector and stick back in,just like rebooting a computer.
