The dome light should come on when you open the door.Thank you for confirmation. I just never saw it work properly. So I don't know what normal should be.
The lights coming on after the engine is shut off and shuttng off after a couple minutes is called courtesy lights, I believe.
They are nice to have but can be a catch 22 if you get complacent. There has been a time or two I left a map light on or the dome lights and found them to be still on a little while later. Thankfully, the 2019 is advanced enough that the battery saver system will kill them before they drain the start battery down too far.
I don't know if your truck or out work truck is that advanced since the system isn't working correctly.
I do know that the courtesy function for the radio doesn't work. A couple people killed the battery because they assumed the radio would shut itself off when the door was opened and it didn't. Of course, there is a nice sign on the dash right above the radio warning about that but that requires people paying attention and reading the sign for that approach to work.
