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.

Are all three wires of the timer relay connected to ground? If the Normally Closed wire is not connected right, then when the timer times out, the relay opens up the connection to the yellow Common wire, and the keyhole will turn off. If it's connected to the door switch line, then it should be on as long as your door is open.
If everything looks connected properly, you can test if the timer relay contact for the Normally Closed is not working by just temporarily connecting the Normally Closed and the Common wires of the relay together, with the door open. If the keyhole then turns on as long as the door is open, then there's a problem with the timer relay.

Passenger door doesnt effect any of the lights, except the dome.

Disconnected black w/ strip it triggers the timer and keyhole light comes on.

No clicking touching it to earth ground

When touching the black w/ strp by it self to door trigger ground, it goes on with door opening.

With everything wired back up like the diagram you drew, 12 volts door open and 12 volts when door closed.

If it's 12 volts open whether the door is open or closed, then that trigger line isn't the right one. It has to be a line that goes to ground when the door is open, and goes back up to 12 when it's closed.
In that wiring diagram you have in an earlier post, it should be the LT GRN/RED wire. If you connected it to the WHT/RED, it won't switch.

I have normally open and black going to earth ground and normally closed going to door trigger ground

With everything hooked up as normal, I took the normally closed and touched the common and no light.   Also as it sits right now, the lights are functioning the same with the normally closed not touching anything

I tried that wire in several spots along that wire.  Everytime I connected to it, the lights would just barely glow, as if it wast getting enough voltage.  Thats when I was getting the 3 volts reading

Hey guess what?  Its good to go.  Told you I was an idiot when it came to this stuff.  I was out there today messing with it and I was reading one of the wires wrong.  I still had the white ground of the keyhole to a ground instead  the common, which had me not having the red to a constant.  I also figured out which set of wires I need to plug into to make sure its off in the off position.  Huge thanks man, if I could shake your hand I would.  Also thanks for your patience thru this.
