This last line IS your problem... Without juice coming
from the #12 fuse the Door Ajar-light grounds through
any of the lights on this circuit; engine, trunk,
glovebox and both interior lights...

This is actually NORMAL and also occurs when you
have a switch in line with #12 for use at shows,
I know from experience.

Put an new 10A fuse in the #12 slot and it's fixed!
Why is it out anyway?
