Dome/Cargo Light Problem 2001

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.
Only sometimes I open the door the dome light turns on. 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. 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). Last thing to bring up is every time I go 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?
