Yeah I've don that lots. It just takes a long time. If yo buy one of those big ass AC booster chargers on wheels with a 40 or 60 amp boost charge that will get it fired up right away.

Yep. A good thing to keep in mind when you get the urge to add more lights.

Sounds like someone used bullet connectors on your truck. They have no place on a truck IMO. Cut the connectors out, remove any multiple splices by running a new wire, strip the wires, slide a piece of shrink tube over the wire, twist the wires together, solder the connection, shrink the tube, flip the switch and when they still don't work, get out your meter and keep looking.
Good luck. I hate changing trucks. After 6 years, I'm still tweaking the one I have. I'd hate to start the process all over again.
