Answer
Ron,

If you are not getting power to the coil and the fuse is good then check the relay.  You say brand new switch?  If so, recheck the connection to the switch.  In the connector of the harness things get warn and crisp over the years.  I have seen them where the pins are still there but the wires have come loose from the back.  Basically, you need a 12 volt test light and start tracing where the power stops.  The switch and the relay are the two most common things.  I have also seen the back of the fuse panel burnt too. So, you can pull the panel and look at the wires from behind too.
