Check the positive cable on the starter -- typically, Benz attaches
the main buss line there, and it can slip up into the cable bundle
while you are wrestling the starter in, with the result that the
alternator is NOT connected to the electrical system. You can get
some contact by the loop on the end of the cable touching the bolt,
but it can easily slip away, too.
Regulator failure is also a posibility -- easy enough to check, just
undo the two screws and take it out of the rear bottom of the
alternator. If it comes right out instead of springing downward
against the brush springs, the brushes are worn out. You can replace
them or get a replacement regulator.
