I would start with checking the 12V fuses and ensure all are good.

You need a 12 volt test light, available at any auto parts store...Cheap one ok.....And ground the wire with clip on it, and use probe to test for power where wire meets switch, or you can Pierce wire if switch wire connections aren't easy to get to

Might have to try different spots to find a ground with the alligator clip......If nothing else, could slice a little bit of coating off one wire for the clip to connect to, and use the probe (sharp end), to push through coating on other wire to make contact with the actual wire.....Doesn't matter which color you probe or connect clip to.......We're checking for power to switch...
