2003 Navigator..bought used.
It dings when the door is open, as if light is on...or key is in?
It had a bad lock cylinder that prevented the key to come out..so I replaced it.
Is there anyway to reliably tell what's causing this? or is this.........normal?
You should remove the lower steering column shroud as well as the ignition lock. This way you can do a good inspection to see what is wrong. I had this very issue when I bought my first expedition years and years ago. I don't remember exactly what I did, but it was definitely something to do with the key contacts.
Remove the bottom shroud, look for a purple/black wire. Clip the wire to eliminate the key-in-ignition buzzer or else fix the little contacts where the wire gets attached.

Thank you, projectSHO89!
Instead of clipping, I simply pulled the purple/black wire and put it aside. Here is the picture of the cable and the location of the connector.
