Don't touch neg to pos cables. Can cause more damage. If the battery is good as you say,jump the solenoid posts with a screw driver.Plus you can try 12 volts directly to the starter.If the starter still doesn't work,might be time to get a new one. Not that it should have anything to do with the starter itself,but the ecm module can do some strange things even if it was replaced during the recall.

Then you can double check the wire from the solenoid to the starter plus you can just hook 12 volts to the starter itself. Tap the starter body and see if it tries to turn over. If it's a bad starter you can get them pretty cheap here.DB Electrical - Polaris
