Default urgant help needed :(

hello im new to forums and would like some help with an ignition issue i have on a 1994 reg escort lx 1.6efi 16v which i recently acquired from my dad, before he stopped using it it had an electrical issue where the rev gauge and radio would die then a mile or so down the road the car would cut out and refuse to start but now when trying to start it the battery light is very dim and there is no oil light but all other electrical systems work that should yet the starter wont turn or even click. im at a total loss with the car ive tried everything including removing the aftermarket alarm, so any help wold be very apreciated
