2nd switch is the inside 12 vdc switch that operates the relay at the water heater.
Voltmeter and understanding of the circuit (schematic available in the WH manual) will greatly help in quickly finding the problem.
If you are placing your meter leads across the two terminals on the heating element and not showing 120 vac, it could also actually be loss of neutral. Burned neutral wire in the J box has also been reported multiple times. Try putting one meter lead on the hot side of the element and the other meter lead on the metal frame of the water heater.
