Most likely a patch broke one of your mods. Did you try to deactive some mods?

yes i have deactivated the mods that i had installed before the problem and it's the same..

(and i have an ENB and a RESHADE if that's make any diffrence although they were installed before the problem and it worked just fine.)

I would think one of your mods have permanently changed some of your game files.

A fresh install may fix it.

Maybe, Nothing is certain.

I am certainly late on this topic but I just had the bug myself and found a way around... if it can help, here's what I did, I went to the armor workbench and added predator visor to my helmet and oddly it didn't gave me the desired effect but instead it re enabled my flashlight... 0.o

Try this http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/102/?

You can adjust the time it takes to turn on your Pip-boy light manually.

I had this issue when wearing a mask (from this mod > NCR Ranger Veteran Armor)
Took the mask off, light there is again!

Well...it's a backward way to fix it but if it works...

Worked thanks!

The fact that the mask is the cause is kind of disappointing, considering that is the coolest part of the NCR mod. Bummer.
