Fuel pump last week. Now it won't start... sigh
Last week my fuel pump went out due to filling up at a gas station with water.
Today, I tried starting it up and nothing. It looked like it wanted to turn over, but then everything just shut down. I can't even put it in neutral lol.
Brand new battery (less than 1k miles). I'm thinking something electrical because no juice is flowing at all. No radio, etc.
Any ideas? Really sucks because the movers are here right now packing so if I don't get this done, like now, I'll be stranded in an empty home with no car haha

Try removing, cleaning an tightening the positive and negative cable clamps including the battery posts. Many a no-start condition is due to a dirty terminal. Are you sure that the battery is good? Often a bad battery can cause degradation of the alternator in our S197's which can go undetected until an issue like yours arises. You can have a good battery but the alternator may be preventing it from charging completely and eventually can leave you stranded.
