Help! No power!
When I turn my ignition to "on", nothing happens. It looks like I have no power going to the ignition switch. What could be the problem. I'm almost bald, but I'm about to pull the rest of my hair out. 2019 Hawk 250, BTW...

I don't have a Hawk but on my Templar there's a main fuse at my battery which would be the second thing I would check after making sure the battery wasn't dead

That's the first thing, that I checked. Fuse is good!

Is the switch connected? May be loose. It is probably a 4 wire connector. One should have 12V all the time. And check your grounds... At battery and engine ground.
If you have 12v going into the ignition switch, check the switch and verify that it is closing the circuit (power getting to the CDI). You can use an ohmeter to check the switch.

I checked. No power going to the switch. Grounds appear good. I did discover a green wire, with a connector, near the negative side of the battery, that goes nowhere...

If the fuse is good, follow power in that wire towards the ignition switch. There is only so many places it can be bad.

I ordered a new wiring harness. My next option is to burn it to the ground! I'm frustrated!

Find the other end and connect them, my Hawk DLX has the same green wire there. My thought…

There is no other end! It goes to Hades!

I have a pic, but I can't upload it! There's nothing there. Where is the wire supposed to attach?

That does indeed like a critical ground line. If the battery is grounded to the engine and you can't find 12V from the black or red ignition switch input (I don't have a hawk, guessing on the color), then you've got to find the other end of that power line and see if it has continuity.
Hey, the good news (I think) is that you haven't got a grounded power line, which would have evidence of a meltdown!

Could that be the reason that I have no power, at the switch?

Yes! The other end is very close by…
