Connect positive to positive post (red) on the battery and connect the negative to a place on the engine away from the battery.
Negative battery or jump start post.
There are many reasons why a car won't start. Some of these reasons could be the lack of fuel, drained battery, bad starter, bad alternator or bad starter solenoid.
When you start at the negative end of the battery, you start to lose electrons and the circuit is closed.
Jump starting a Pontiac include jumper cables and another vehicle with a battery. A person will need to put jumper cables on each car battery to jump start it.
try replacing your battery maybe turn the key?
To jump start an engine via the battery; the remote battery and the host battery, being of the same voltage, should be connected in parallel. That is positive terminal to positive terminal, negative to negative.

Check your negative cable to the battery.
you will need to call a pontiac dealer and get an activation code, because of the anti-theift system.
Connect positive cable of donor battery to battery of car being jumped. Then connect negative cable to negative battery post on the donor car and lastly to a ground point on the car needing the jump start, normally the engine. Do not connect to negative post of battery needing a jump start. Let donor car run for about 5 minutes and then attempt to start. The instant the engine starts reverse the procedure to disconnect the jumper cables.
you need a new alternator.
Engine ground can find many paths to the battery, but if NOTHING is connected to the negative post... no, it won't start.
