2005 Polaris Phoenix blowing fuses

[fabcam]

My boy has a 2005 Polaris Phoenix and it is popping fuses. It is popping them in the first couple of seconds. I checked the ground, looks good. Can't find any broken or scuffed wires.

Has anyone have any ideas?

I know there are recalls on the Ignition module shorting out. I do not know if your machine falls in the recall http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/category/sports.html
