Post a picture of what you have and the wiring under the hood, everyone here will chime in with info for you. Otherwise we're just posting theories.

Short or crossed wires? But honestly not familiar with ramram larimes, or Fisher straight balds

let's either offer suggestions or assistance or not post in the thread...either way, no need for some of the nonsensical posts

I'll repent for my funny post by being helpful

The problem is almost certainly one of the molded plug ends. The OP must have a 9 pin 2 plug setup, and the pin for the S1 valve (lower) is adjacent in the plug to the Low beam pin. So he turns the lights on, and the plow drops. He could confirm it by checking with high beams and see if it still does it.

Basically, you have some severe damage to your harness. Just visually check the harness, start plow side, then truck side, should be easy to find. Those harnesses new are not that expensive

But he also writes, turns on headlights and the pump wines.

Hmmm, I see that now. I dont know what the difference is between "plow up for transport" and "plow up" is. You could be right though about major damage to the harness then but I don't even know where in the harness the lights could be shorted to the motor solenoid wire

I would have to pull a new harness off the shelf and give it a look.

Sry should have told you with the power off to the plow whilebit is up in the air yon can turn the headlights on and it will stay up but the pump whines

I also should mention that the lights have it male to female connectors but the truck side and plow sied dont they wired direct the the eletric motor on the plow
