I dont think its the battery or altenator because it would not start by jumping and mostly everything went on(lights, electric fan dash, fogs) it just wouldn't start.There wasnt even a clicking at the solenoid.

check battery terminals...see if loose....if no start no crank no lights no prime ...or nothing....also check ignition fuse...if there is crank or lights then sounds like u need a multi meter and need to trouble shoot

i had a problem similar to this. i was driving to work and all of a suddon nothing. the lights worked but nothing in the cabin or engine would work. turns out it was a fuseable link in the ignition circuit. i jumped the starter solenoid to the battery and got it to fire up and drove it about 200 feet to a shop and had them test while i went to work. i was about a 5 min walk from work when it happened. they found it and replaced while i was working and had it back by lunch. try testing your ingnition and starter circuits
