Maybe the switch is on? There is a rolling switch right by your headlight switch, I'd try that first.

Dirty/sticking door latch switches. Very common.

But he said the door ajar light goes off when he closes the door. Wouldn't it stay on if it were the door contact pin?

thanks for all the replays to my question

thanks to all the solution to solve my dome light problem. i fixed it. the rolling thing next to my headlight switch was turned all the way on. i know who did that i am going to hurt this guy. he hates me and my truck. he went in when i wasn't looking and turned that switch up. thanks a lot to all
