Dome light issue

What I'm trying to get across here is this does not make sense at all

There should ALWAYS be voltage to the lamp. That fuse is always hot, whether key is on or off. Power is ALWAYS fed to the lamp The lamp is activated when the door switch provides the ground.

How many terminals are on your door switch(s)? Do you have a map light switch? Something may be mis-wired
No map light. One yellow wire to door switches unless its hidden in the door somewhere. Bulb socket in the trunk is one wire to switch and then power wire.
