Car turns on but does not crank

Had my car flat bedded to my Indy shop yesterday .... car turns on lights,radio, etc but when i turn the key to crank.. my car does not start up and i hear no crank noise ... im thinking its the crankshaft sensor.. any suggestions on what is the probable cause? anyone experienced this problem?

Check fuse 52 & elevate value from 15 to 20 Amp.

In the front SAM under the hood. Fuses 31, 52 & 57 are the start enable fuses. 52 usually blows. Benz put out a bulletin to uprate to 20 amps.

Oh Dear! If not fuse it's usually relay in cavity S or the starter motor itself. Not a common failure.
