If wiiggling some cables or wires helps to start the car, look for a loose connection or corrosion where the cables/wires connect to.

Impossible to tell for sure, but most likely the contact with the terminals/posts on the battery, and the cables to the vehicle, are not substantial (good) enough to crank the starter. Although lights work, there needs to be little to no resistance to the power available in the battery to the starter. Causes are likely - dirty battery terminals/posts - dirty corroded cables - cables too loosely connected to battery - battery is too old/weak. try cleaning the posts with emery cloth or fine sand paper till shiny - same for inside the cables - a file can sometimes work to clean here - ensure that cables are properly seated down the posts far enough to ensure maximum contact. tighten firmly so cables cannot be wiggled off - but careful not to overdo it - cable heads can split/break - contact is now comprimised. bottom line - need clean and firm contact cables/posts.
