A lot of info missing in your post. Did you have power before replacing the switch? What lead you to replace the switch? What is your battery voltage? System is fairly simple to follow, get your voltmeter and starting at the house batteries, follow the positive cable to see where you loose power. Most likely a bad relay but your voltmeter will tell you.
Good luck,

Many apparently use a LATCHING SOLENOID for Battery Switch, which uses Momentary Power to mechanically CLICK ON/ CLICK OFF vs continuous power= ON like starter solenoids. If clicking, Solenoid may still be bad and not connecting? Also check Manual RESET or Auto RESET 12vdc CIRCUIT BREAKERS within 18-inches of the battery/ies

One typical example of LATCHING SOLENOID, notice different from NON-Latching: https://www.amazon.com/Cole-Hersee-24200-Latching-Solenoid/dp/B001FQMZQU/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&hvadid=78683851915242&hvbmt=bb&hvdev=c&hvqmt=p&keywords=latching+solenoid&qid=1619989900&sr=8-4
