"tried to jump starter solenoid"

Not 100% sure what you mean by this. There are a couple of options for a no-crank situation:

1) Failure to send the low-amp signal from the ignition switch to the solenoid.
2) Failure of the solenoid to engage
3) Failure of the high-amp power to flow from the battery to the starter through the solenoid
4) Failed starter

The first one is often the starter lock-out or the ignition switch, but the problem normally come on slowly. The small wire to the solenoid could have also failed.

The second is a sticking solenoid which can be test by tapping on it with a long handled something while starting or a broken wire in the solenoid which can only be tested by applying power directly to the starter with a large gauge wire like jumper cables.

The third can be corroded or internally broken positive or negative cable. This is very hard to diagnose but not uncommon. Someone mentioned a resistance test in a recent post.

Failed starters according to many are not that uncommon although I have never experienced one. Art B says it is because I mostly had the older style starter and because I have never had a "spray and pray" rebuild in any of my cars.

I hope that helps even if it does not narrow it down all that much.
