I have multi problems. Drivers door open no dome light. Drivers door no door ajar light. Headlights on drivers door open no warning chime. Drivers door open key in ignition no warning chime. Until I turn the key to on then it chimes sound. So I have left my headlights on a few times hearing no warning chime and had a dead battery. And a couple of time my radio would turn on all by its self. No seat belt warning chime. All the other doors open the dome light comes on. I checked the door latch switch by unplugging it and jumping the wires and the dome light does not come on.

clean your grounds and battery cables. then check to see if your switch on the offending door is working. sometimes the wires rot off the switch and need replacing.

I checked the wires they are Ok.
I removed the switch and that is working fine.
