Hi
It could be your neutral safety switch. It could be the starter relay which is located in the fuse panel box. It could be the smaller wire going to the starter could be loose or corroded.

I have no power anywhere. i can jump solenoid and engine turns over but no fire. i suspect ignition switch but would that cause no power through out the car?
The fact that you can turn the engine but not get it to fire would suggest the battery is ok. The fact that you have no headlights, dash lights etc. would point to blown fuse/fuses. Even if the ignition switch was faulty you should still be able to switch the headlights on. I would check the fuses and the ignition switch wiring.

Turns over but won't start
I would start checking fuses for power. It could be a battery cable issue or something in the fuse box. The dash lights would not be powered thru the key switch, but the other stuff would be. Provided the key switch is getting power for accessories.

1987 toyota pickup lost all electrical except headlights
What works? Just headlights? Does anything electrical work that does not need the ignition switch to be in the on position? Possibly four way flashers, brake lights, horn, interior light, dash lights in instrument panel as well as headlights should all work without the key in the ignition and in the acc or on position. If this is what you have, then I would say you need to replace the ignition switch.
Hope this helps.

What happens if a ignition cylinder goes bad
The problem is in your ignition switch if you can verify that power is going to the switch. If no power is going to the switch, you could have a maxi fuse blown, the fuse that sends power to the switch.
