If you are talking about a wall switch for the heater, check to see if the heater has its own internal thermostat or switch as this might be in the off position and not allow the heater to turn on. If you are talking about a switch on the heater itself, then yes in all probability the switch is not working.
Where is heater control switch
You've got to use a test light to see if there is electricity getting to the switch. First check to see if it's getting past the fuse - then to the switch with the switch off - then through the switch with the switch on - finally to the blower motor.

IT turns the heater on and off!
When the switch is open, the circuit is not a complete circuit. Electricity needs a complete circuit of conductive material. The switch breaks the circuit causing the flow of electricity to be disrupted. When you close the switch, a full circuit is restored thus restoring the flow of electricity.
It could be the high speed heater motor relay is stuck on or the switch itself is broken.
The function of a switch is to break and connect the flow of electricity.
A restricted/plugged heater core can do that. Try flushing the heater core.
Your heater switch may not need to be replaced. The heater high position is controlled by a fuse under the hood. Until you find the fuse and replace it, your new switch will not work. JRR.
The reason a heater fan is staying on may be an issue with the switch. It is possible the switch is stuck open. It may be resolved with a good cleaning of the contacts on the switch, or replacing the switch itself.
