There are many stories here about others moving tanks or putting in new basking platforms where the turtles took some time to get comfortable with the new setup and decide to bask.
I'd move the lamp, put a pellet or two at the top of the ramp like VeipaCray suggested and wait a bit. If your light just provides heat, I would also look at adding a UVB light. Your turtle may not have had one for years, but it is still good for it.
