Volt meter and trace back to see where you do have volts.

Did you check the fuse or just replace it? Was it blown?

Didn't know a 40 had a fuse.

Ken is correct, the 40 should have a circuit breaker not a fuse. It may have been modified somewhere along the way. If it blew a fuse once you may need to determine why.

could find original light switch that looked original so I replaced with switch that had a built-in fuse that I installed under dash .

fordman, "kinda"

Then have you checked the CB to see if you have power out to the lighting switch?
