Problem with electric side of water heater

Suburban swde6
I used search and here is what I have done and found.
Both thermostats are fine.
I have power at circuit breaker-made sure all wires were tight while there.
Element has continuity with wires removed.
No power at wires on element.
Checked switch..it was good but replaced anyways.
No power at wires behind switch.
Where to now?
Any suggestions?
  • On mine there was a relay. During the course of disassembly the relay started working again. The switch inside the RV was, on mine, 12 volt.

    It took 90 minutes--and I did replace the element since that is what I thought had gone bad. They sure as heck did not make it easy to be serviced.
