Have you tried the following:
Pull the positive battery cable
Insert key in and turn to ignition
Reconnect battery
Turn key to off
Wait for warning sound to stop
Try to start

> Hi, This may seem like repeating work already done but check all the fuses 

again. I have a 1990 500SL which had symtoms not unlike yours (But it did run) 
all sorts of seemingly unconnnected failures ,lots of advice on here, but 
eventually traced to one fuse in the main fuse box in the engine compartment 
having mechanicly failed (Not burned out). On mine the hood wouldnt work nor the 
indicators or the door windows unless the drivers door was open plus a few more 
seemingly separate systems.

inhibit the starting of the car depending on what other fuses have blown (or 
been dislodged).  On the circuit drawing, is there a loop between the car seat 
belt circuit and the ignition circuit  that needs to be made prior to ignition 
power being supplied to the relay?
