Dome/Cargo Light Issue 2001

[COLTON_CJF]

I have a problem on my 2001 4.0 4dr XLT. The dome light is whacked out. This was a farm truck before so I’m not sure if the layers of dust got to a connection or switch but I’ll see what you guys think, I’ve tried everything I know.
The dome light stays on for 9 mins from when I open the door, after it turns off (opening the door doesn’t do anything). I also notice whenever this happens the dimmer switch doesn’t work at all, it’s like the whole truck is asleep. I have to slide my key into the ignition to awake the truck again. It takes at least 30 mins for the truck to re wake (for me to open my door and my dome light to come on) Also, my cargo lights only work w/ the dimmer switch. I tried switching out my LEDs with incandescents but no luck. For someone who’s always using the bed the dimmer switch is a hassle instead of just being able to open the doors. It takes awhile for the dome light to shut off from when the door shuts, about 9 mins (when the truck is off, maybe that’s normal). Last thing to bring up is every time I go to put my key to the ignition the dome light turns on but it doesn’t turn off even when I start the truck, but only when I go over 10 mph. This can’t be normal right? Makes it hard to drive out of parking lots and such at night

That is super odd... I would be suspicious of the switches on the door latches which is where the dome light switch is after '92, sometimes you can get away with hosing the latch out with WD40 and cycling the latch with a screwdriver a few times, others you need to take the latch out and clean up some goo...

There's some timers in the body module that turn off the lights after a certain amount of time so either you have some module issues, ground issues to the module(s?) or switch issues...

I wish my cargo light on my '97 worked, I keep meaning to look into that, heck my dome light doesn't even work right anymore, doesn't turn on with the switch on it but works with the doors and dimmer switch...
