If there is no power going into the switch, then no matter what position you turn it to you will not get any power out.
To check the switch with a multimeter.
Now with the multimeter in the continuity position ( which normally looks like a diode symbol, if you put the red and black probes contact together then the tester will beep and show 0000 on the screen )
Place the red test lead on the supply, and flick the switch, move the black probe to the other contacts, one of them should beep. when thi happens flick the switch off. and it should stop beeping. check and note which terminal does what.
Question is, why do you not have power going to the switch?
