2004 sportsman 500 ecm shorted out

went hunting with my sportsman 500 HO when I was done I went to start it and it was dead . I smelt burnt wiring , tried the pull start and that didn’t work. after I got it home I found the main feed wire for the ECM melted , from the battery to the ECM . there was a fuse able link in the circuit but it didn’t open . had to replace two wires in the harness . ordered the ECM hopefully that will solve the problem . is this a common problem ? I have a 2004.5 the dealer said the 2004 had a recall on the ECM :bud:
