I would look at you maxi fuse if nothing is working. Make sure the connection to your battery is good at negative and positive. Would check dash fuses using a test light underneath the dash also.

What electrical components do have power? Does the starter crank the engine but it won't start? Or does does the starter fail to crank the engine?

my car was working fine up to this point. My car was stolen, the ignition coil was hanging under the steering wheel, i tried to put it back in place. After doing that, there was no power whatsoever. So there must be a short somewhere
