Answer
Hye,

 Battery is dead for some reason.  Could be discharged or just defective.  You need to charge it on a trickle charger for a while and try again. Then make sure the alternator is charging the battery while it is running with a meter.  IT should be roughly 12.6v off and 14.5 running.
 I know your lights and everything work and you would thinkt he battery is ok but the starter draws around 150-175ams and the whole car only needs about 30 for the lighting and accessories.
