Unhappy HELP car died and now wont start HELP

I WASNT IN THE CAR>

My dad was driving up hill and the car dies on him. he started to go down hill and he tried to pop the clutch and still nothing.

I tried pushing and and having my friend pop the clutch nothing

i tried jumping the car with cables and still nothing.

I jiggled the wires connected to the started and stil nothing, HOWEVER whe i was jiggling the wires and my fiend turn the key to start it i could feel the starter clicking.

when i turn key all light come on and stay on. when i try and start the car all lights still stay on.

Car did not crank

the car never has just the battery light on only.

could it be the dizzy??
any fuses?

MY MAIN QUESTION IS...
.... WHY WOULD THE CAR JUST STOP RINNING AND EVERYTHING TURN OFF? LIGHTS AND ALL



Any advice?
thanks

i think its the dizzy thats the only thing it could be causing it not to start up when pushing . first check the coil inside dizzy mine came off once and i bought a new dizzy and then opened the old one and that was the reason and the old still worked.
