2003 Ford Explorer door ajar, puddle light and interior light combined problem

I can use my dimmer switch to turn on the panel lights in the car no problem. If I open the door though every single light in the car, including the door ajar warning light comes on and stays on (This happens when opening any door). I have to turn the dimmer switch all the way off to get turn off the lights. I can use the dimmer switch to turn up and down the lights on the actual guage panel but if I click it all the way up, everything lights up and the problem is recreated.

My driver-side mirror puddle light (located under the mirror) is permanently out as well. I tried replacing it with the recommended bulb, as well as a few others that were recommended, no-go. If I leave the bulb out, the door ajar warning light comes on permanently. If I put any bulb back in the door ajar light stays out.

If I buckle my seatbelt, the seatbelt warning light goes off, but if I unbuckle myself the light stays out as well. (Just gee-wiz information I dont really care about that)
