2006 power stroke dome light issues?

Help please! First time posting. So I think I have 2 issues. Dome light comes on when it wants. Driving or in the driveway. No door ajar light ever. Have already lubed the door switches numerous times with wd and PB blaster. Just changed the ignition lock cylinder and duct taped the door chime tab. So no door chime when door is opened with keys in or out. However when the truck goes into the dome light craze if you open the drivers door it chimes as if the key is in the ignition? How is that possible? Hopefully someone can help me out. Thanks

How about the radio? Is it acting up to as far as power or lighting. Gremlins!! Might wanna check on you dash cluster. They are known to start weird stuff.

No the radio is fine. I started smacking the dash right above and to the right of the speedo tonight and got the inside lights to come on as well as the door chime. Hit it again and the lights would go out. So I'm suspecting something under the dash. Cluster or a shorted wire. I'll update when I figure it out. Thanks

So the problem I finally found was the blue connector on the cluster. Sending the cluster to circuit board medics.

I called them when I had my problems, they said not to send my cluster, that the problem was elsewhere. Seem like decent folks

You can pull the cluster apart and re-flow the solder on the connector -- that is the common problem

o'course that depends on your abilities and tools -- circuit board medics can do the job
