Default Dinging Without The Key In!?!?

The noise your truck makes when the door is open and the key is in is constantly going when the drivers door is open. Key in or not. I want to know if anybody has had this problem or knows what to do with it to make it stop. If you push on the ignition a few times it'll stop. But it comes back on after each time its ran or the passenger door gets closed. Help please. THanks.

I went to the dealer to see about getting that part replaced and the guy there had no clue what I was talking about. Any clue what the name of that piece is?

Or where to get a new one?

I tossed a new tumbler/key in my truck and broke mine trying to fixit from dinging because it was lose.
