Default Door dinger issues

Ok a few weeks ago my car started leaving the door alarm chime on after I pull the key out of the ignition. The sound you get when you leave your head lights on and pull the key out. It only happens with the driver side door and if you put the key in and turn the power on it stops ringing. It all started after I install the SCV3 headlight kit, so I though it was a grounding issue with the relay in the kit. I added a larger ground to the relay and pulled the door apart and checked every wire connecter and ground that I could find. Every thing is perfectly clean and clear so I added some di-electric grease for good measure and put it all back together with no luck.

Is there a door jam switch or something else I am missing that could be causing this annoying ringing only in the driver side door?

Any advice or help with picture locations would be greatly appreciated before I go nuts!
