Symptomes: -Won't start -All you hear is a click (comming from the solenoid) -lights,radio, whipers evrything is working

I tested the batteri and the alternator with a multimeter and they both seemed find, I manage to make it jump start once after slightly hitting the starter, but the next day it stop starting again.
So i though it was the starter, i bought a new one and installed it. It didn't fix the probleme, and it even brought another one. Now the car won't start and there's no power. Even if i try to plug in the boosting cable, the lights won't even open again. I checked all the wires on the solenoid that i had to touch for the installation and they all seem to be fine.
Is the two probleme related? How can I find the source of the problem and fix it?

P.s: I plugged the encoder and it didn't scan anything, the check engine light is not on.
Thanx for any help

Make sure none of the main fuses blew in the power distribution box under the hood.
