Maybe... the light in the switch could have broken. You can check the connections on the back of the switch with a multi-meter to make sure you have power coming and going. Could be a bad fuse too.

You don't indicate what unit you have. Some tank heaters do not run on 12V. Also possible that you do not actually have a heater option, but the switch is in the panel for that model.

Tank heaters do run on 12 volts in most units......
