Good on ya. If the new switch doesn't fix it, don't give up. It could still be a wiring problem. That's why testing the switch first is a good idea.

Place a jumper -- a length of wire -- from BAT + to the coil +. Loosen the coil + terminal and stick the wire in it and re-tighten. Often you can jam the other end of the wire in the battery terminal. This is a hot-wire, so be careful. Don't drive it like this, but it's OK for testing (it doesn't have fuse protection and if it gets loose may short out, and the key won't turn the ignition off since it is hot-wired).
