That was an important clue. The alarm system is from a later ('92 or so) 900 and was installed when a previous owner put in a heavy-duty audio system. All that remains of the audio system is a huge power cable with a 100 amp fuse, disconnected on each end.
Got the multi-tester out last Saturday morning and traced all of the circuits from the battery, through the ignition switch, and out to the starter solenoid. Everything had continuity, including the appropriate terminals on the ignition switch with the key in the start position.
Said, "what the heck" and put the battery in. Turned the key and it cranked & started just like it should.
Must've scraped some corrosion of the connection tabs on the ignition switch or the days of sitting in the sun with the rear quarter windows open dried something out. It now starts on the first crank - better than my daily driver.
