This is a long shot - is it possible he disconnected the headlights and is using the circuit to power the plow lights?

thats what I was thinking as well the plows usually have there own lights as the plow covers the factory ones. let us know if this helps or not these trucks are fun but sometimes you just have to stand back and scratch your head at them trying to figure them out and what the designers were thinking lol.

Also check the headlight connectors. They may need to be cleaned.

Precisely what I was thinking. It should be easy enough to check for power at the harness where the lights plug in, and trace from there. Good luck, OP!

Irishvin - not sure exactly what you are trying to tell us. Need a translation.
