Electrical gremlin has me stumped

Hello all, I have a 2006 F350 I've been having electrical issues with since I bought it 3 months ago. I thought I had it figured out when I replaced the instrument cluster, however that only solved part of my problems. I have no dome lights or door chime unless the ignition is in the run position. Also, there is no power to the instrument cluster until the ignition is keyed in the run position. I have no power to anything in the accessory position and the truck seems to think the key is in the ignition even when it's not when I try to lock the doors using the inside buttons.

Did you buy a new cluster, a used cluster or a repaired cluster?

And that's why I asked, some guys grab them from the wreckers but sometimes the wreckers have no idea if a cluster is good or bad that came out of a wreck. The guys at CBM seen this and I am sure they will try and help solve it with you. Let us know how things turn out.
