Maybe I'm thinking backwards here. If he "energizes" his headlights and the steps operate, wouldn't that mean his headlights are searching for and finding a good ground through the steps circuit? I'd be checking the headlight ground.
You're correct in that the issue could be with either. That said, it's most likely a grounding issue with the steps as they take the most beating being outside in the weather. Also, it's the easiest fix as you don't have to be a contortionist to access them. Realistically, I'd take another wire and ground the steps ensuring a good ground. If the issue is resolved, then I'd do a permanent fix. If not, then I'd explore the light switch also..could be either, but my money is on the steps....Dennis
