Am I still suppose to take the white ( grey in pic ) wire that comes from the floor light  and go to the door trigger and the orange ( normally closed) wire or did you mean to erase it?

Ok did it just like you showed in the photo.  It works almost and if thats best I can get thats ok.

Whats happening is.  Door is shut, all lights off.  Open door, dome and floor light come on only.  When you shut the door, then the keyhole light comes on.  I think its supose to be all 3 lights come on when door opens, and when door closes, the keyhole stays on by itself for specified time.

Is that possible?

Do you hear a click from the timer when you open the door, or only when you shut the door? I would expect it should only click when you close the door and the trigger line goes high.
Unless the wire colors are not as stated on the diagram you showed for the timer, the keyhole light should be on whenever the door is open, because it should ground the yellow COM wire going to the keyhole white wire. It wouldn't even make a difference if the timer triggered or not, since it would just be switching between two grounds
Make sure your Constant 12 volts wire is really constant and not connected to some switched source.

Constant is a constant

Click happens when I open the door, then after set time, it clicks again.

That diagram I pulled from this site and its a match for the copy DEI sent me.

I also just noticed that this set up works with my dome light swith in the off position ( guessing thats my fault for the choice of power wire )

Did you cut the blue wire loop on the timer? According to the diagram it says it should trigger when the negative goes away, which I take to mean when the ground is removed (or when the door closes)
If you did that already, maybe you can try reconnecting the blue wire loop to see if the description is backwards.

No change in reconnecting the blue loop.

Also what is happening, when the keyhole is triggered, if I dont shut my door, the keyhole will still turn off.  It should have power till I shut the door and then turn off by whatever is set by the timer.

Suppose you test the module by disconnecting the BLACK/ white striped trigger wire from the door trigger wire, and just touch that trigger wire to ground. It should click on when you remove it from the ground, staying on until the timeout period. It shouldn't click when you first touch it to ground (though that could depend on whether they designed it with debouncing circuitry).
See how it reacts when you do this; maybe the timer module isn't detecting the change.
With the wire reconnected, take your meter and measure the voltage on the wire with the door closed, and open. It could be the door switch isn't grounding it enough for it to consider it to be a low (think you mentioned 3V earlier, with the door open). Are you measuring it from one of the passenger door switches, and testing it by opening the driver side door? There's a diode on the driver side door switch, so it won't provide as good a ground as the passenger doors.
Also try testing it by opening and closing a passenger side door instead of the driver side, if that's what you've been doing- that might be another clue.
