Instead they use standard wiring and trigger a relay which in turn supplies power to heavy load device. This way, only small a section of the circuit needs heavy components.

Follow wiring diagrams jcman posted and go through each methodically and find the cause. It can't be too difficult if you go step by step and eliminate sections that are working.
Where is the electrical relay panal located?

And thanks guys for the help.

I'm pretty sure the pdf shows the location of the relays, like #9 and #10 for the lamp module or "ballast" which is low HID beams
