If you're lucky, only dirty or corroded battery-terminals.
If you're less lucky, other possibilities are:
-- starter solenoid failed
-- starter motor failed
-- battery failed
-- alternator failed.
Any of those 5 possibilities would permit the radio to work but prevent starting.
(And there are several others too.)

Car wont start radio works but when you put the lights on radio goes of?
Car battery is run down.
Changed your stock radio with a indash radio now your 2000 323ci wont start but the radio works does anybody know what to do?
put in the stock radio, does your car start, if it does then its the radio causing the problem, if not then more problems then the radio. if it does start with the stock radio in i would think the aftermarket radio is causing some kind of fault in the car, perhaps the radio is sending a faulty message in the i-bus telling the car not to start. i would jump out any bus wires so they are not routed through the aftermarket radio and see what happens. good luck.
Why doesn't your car start--it started kind of progressively weaker as the week went on now it doesnt start at all?
My guess is it's either the battery or the charger. If everything else works that electronic in your car, its the starter.
If the radio-clock display in a 92 spirit doesn't light up anymore do you have to replace the entire radio?
i have a 95 Spirit and have the same problem. It is getting power to the radio (back lit, and tape player will rewind, but the clock display doesnt work, and the radio doesnt work (which sucks). Sometimes it will turn on when I start my car, but once the car is running, there is 0% chance of the radio coming on, even if I start banging around the radio. THis leads me to believe that is not a loose wire, but something in the ignition? Any input would be appreciated! I to had the same prob with the radio in a 90 Caravan which also carrys the same radio setup as the Dodge Spirit... its a short in the radio that aventually developes... theres nothing wrong with wiring... i took the radio setup out of my 92 Spirit (cause trans went out) and put it into the Caravan and still works fine, so its not a wiring prob... just a prob with the radio itself.
What if your car got the radio stolen out of it and now my car wont start?
