SOURCE: i'm trying to jump a battery using a pontiac g5....

There is no battery in the world that does not have a negative terminal. but, the negative lead of the jumper should be connected to any solid metal bracket on the engine (on both vehicles) Stay away from drive belts.

Don't go to the dealer, unless you just have too much money. Call around to tire shops in your area and see if anyone has a "Bar-Tech" tool or a similar device that will reset your sensors for you and HUGE savings.

SOURCE: mY PONTIAC G5 REMOTE DOES NOT WORK TO LOCK OR

I had your exact problem. My fix was resoldering the battery contact where it mates on the circuit board of the remote. ( It should be connected at 3 places ) The center and left were not making contact. only the panic button side was. Works like new now. btw while its apart use a pencil eraser to clean the button contacts.

SOURCE: how do i disconnect the battery on pontiac g5

The battery is on the right side of the trunk compartment next to the spare tire. There is a corporate bulletin about the battery terminals being stripped from the factory and it states to clean the treads and replace the terminal bolts. The terminal bolts are 8mm or 5/16inch in size.

2005 Dodge Ram 1500 5.7 no bus where mileage is and all my dash lights are on but starts.

CAR STARTS RUNS AND DRIVES.
SO ONLY THE IP CLUSTER FAILS.
next is check all fuses, for sure to cluster. 4 fuse run it. or more. and PTC fuse 2. skip no cab or engine b ay fuses check them all first.
SPEED CONTROLS MEANS ;CRUISE DEAD
WELL LEARN THAT CRUISE WORKS ONLY IF ALL KEY THINGS WORK EVEN BRAKE LAMPS.
FORGET CRUISE TO LAST, fix this only LAST.
cruise can never work if speed is failing VSS for any reasons.

what "NO BUS" means ,I can not guess this,at all.
so odometer is dead but shows what/
blank, -------,.------,?????? or what be clear on this.
all gauges are dead, that means the IP cluster brain can noT communicate.
any scan tool used here OBD2 you will see what fails
it sure will but every poster here 99% fears scan tools
not sure why at all. me.?

start car now and and idle it
use DMM meter measure battery volts
13. to 15vdc is a MUST, if not alternator is dead or its fuses blow or gee both.
if true stop and fix this first or computers in the car will lie to you and go quite mad.
this test is on page 1 of all modern cars chapter electronics failing and testing
the battery must be fully charged
and a good battery
and alternator works fully. tested.
and all fuse tested good.

or as any car battery gets weak near 10vdc
any and all electronics onboard die or go crazy random acts. don't let this happen to you.
if the starter motor sounds fast and robust the battery may be ok.
but if sounds week we change it till it sounds right.
or replace it or jumper cable jump any car with a very low weak battery . to get voltages above 13vdc.

Cruise control doesn't work in 2010 pontiac g5

Tricky. If you're unfamiliar with the operation of GM cruise control systems, refer to a qualified GM technician.
Things you can try:
  1. Lubricate the actuator switch;
  2. Lubricate the brake switch (yes, the brake switch is in the circuit);
  3. Lubricate all actuator switches for the cruise control system at the steering wheel;
  4. Check for vacuum leaks, damaged vacuum lines, or other visible problems around the cruise control servo (under the hood).
  5. If your vehicle is equipped with a TRIP COMPUTER, and the trip computer is not updating mileage, replace the SPEED SENSOR.

tach is most likely a cam sensor, hvac could be a bad vacuum problem (bad hose ) the electrical (dash stuff) I would start looking for a loose or bad ground wire or dirty battery terminals
