I pulled off the wire between the starter and alternator and then connected the battery. There wasn't any cranking. This doesn't really help me though because I'm 99% sure the wire is in the correct place.

I don't know if this helps, but it is a slide on connection that is on the same terminal on the solenoid as the wire that comes from the battery. The two of them(connector from battery and one from alternator) are slid on one on top of the other.
