Interior 'dome' light intermittent

I have a 2005 clk500 with the following issues
1. The dome light only comes on sometimes when door opened/when key taken out of ignition. The switch is in the correct position so don't know what is causing this
2. I can't open the top part of the centre arm rest (it seems to be locked but key will not open it)

1. Sounds normal? Unless you really mean only turns on when opening door/releasing key. Switch in center position? Or is it on the way left?

Sorry if I was not clear, what I mean is the light does not always go on when key removed (as it should) or when remote key unlocks doors. The switch is in the correct position.

I would check the fuse for the dorm light or check the bulb for the dorm light (might be burning out or may not be OEM bulbs). I know my aftermarket dorm lights don't always turn on either.
