Car Won't Start Pls Help!!

My slk 320 was working fine..

Then over the weekend I left the lights on.. called road side assistance to come boost the car,,, They boosted the car .. yet it still would Not start.. so they tested the battery and the battery is now fine holding a charge. The guy left not having a clue what it could be.

It has been 3 days now that I have been trying to get the car to start,,

This is what is happening :

The lights work, the doors open with the key fob, stereo turns on etc..

But when I put the key in the ignition and turn it to the right ,, Nothing happens its as if I have a kill switch activated and its not allowing gas to the engine

So I turn the key, all the icons in the dash light up, the head lights turn on.. But that’s it!! No reving , no sound coming from the engine..

I must have turned it 100 times over the last 3 days in hopes of it starting.. and each time the same thing..

Any advise would be greatly appreciated!!! Wrote this fast, please ask any questions..

Thank you!!

Check the obvious, what's the fuel pressure at the rail?
