The driverside plowlight works and the passenger side the truck light stays on.
On the 04' I have 2 relays 1 for each plowlight. I think its the relay, but want your info.

thanks

Be sure the connectors are clean and have seated well. If it doesn't truck light will stay on and the plow light won't.

If that doesn't do it, check the light socket inside the plastic housing. If there is no load, same as above. (assuming you haven't blown the headlight bulb)

Failing that, test the relay.

somethings up...checked all connections. Truck light stays on for about a 1/2 hr then the thing shuts off and the plowlight turns on.

Sure does sound like a sticky relay.Can you swap them to see if it switches sides ?

naw, they are marked left and right. I'm not worried about it. I can use the force if I completely lose the lights :D

I had a problem on the 02' when I took the plow off I had no truck lights at all and they replaced both the relays, but that was a different style lighting system I think.
