If the battery is good, the engine should crank despite a failed alternator (which isn't that uncommon; the charging system on these S197's are subpar). It sounds like you know your way around circuits to some extent so hopefully the wiring diagrams included in the link previously provided will help.

Please post your results. And welcome to the forum.

When you say "nothing happens" do you mean the fuel pump and dash lights stay off when the key is turned to the "ON" position?
