If you can get accessory power, you can put an OBD2 scanner on it and check for codes.
You can try disconnecting your battery for 15 minutes (to reset the ECM).
Check the batteries in your FOB.
That's where I would start.

mercedes clk 350 2006
Same issue
I have 2006 clk 350 I already changed both fuel pumps about 2 weeks ago but the car died on me while I was driving today and it’s the same thing it cranks but it doesn’t start could it b the fuel injectors ? Sometimes when I’m pressing on the breaks and I slightly let go of them it’ll shake pull itself also to mention I have no check engine light or any light whatsoever

Maybe I'm missing something here, but you have a NO CRANK, but you have power to the starter. If you have power to the starter then it should crank. I don't see any other problem then a bad starter.
Edit: I suppose you could have weak power to the starter, but you say you have a new battery. Could be the battery cable connections.

1998 CLK 320
Right now mine has a brand new battery, a brand new starter, confirmed voltage to the starter, a new CPS and power to the fuel pump. Neither my son nor I can figure it out. It couldn't be injectors, because the car would still crank without fuel and the oil level is good and the oil looks good and the coolant looks good and it's had a recent tune up with plugs wires and coil packs, so I don't understand what we are missing.
