    Dome lights take very little power.  Starters take a lot of power.  Does you horn honk.  [your horn is a high power device].  If it does it's a good sign that the battery has power but, not absolute.  If your horn does not honk your battery is weak.  You will need a charge, jump or a new battery.
    IF your horn does honk it sounds like you will need a solenoid.  This is an electric device that engages the gears of the starter with the gears of the flywheel.
