Restore Your Saturn’s Functionality and Peace of Mind
If you’re dealing with bizarre electrical issues in your 2007-2010 Saturn Outlook, you’re not alone. Power windows with a mind of their own, intermittent starting problems, or a dashboard that lights up with random warnings are classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). As the central hub for your vehicle’s body electronics, a faulty BCM can turn a reliable SUV into a source of daily frustration. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it can affect vehicle security and safety. This replacement BCM, part number 20864767, is the definitive solution to get your vehicle back to operating as it should.
The Power of Cloning: A True Plug-and-Play Solution
Forget expensive dealership visits and the hassle of programming a new module from scratch. Our unique cloning service makes this repair straightforward for both professional technicians and DIY enthusiasts. We transfer the exact data from your original, failing BCM directly onto this replacement unit. This process preserves all your vehicle’s specific settings, including key fob information, security parameters, and factory options. The result is a module that is truly plug-and-play. Once you install it, your Saturn Outlook will recognize it as the original, eliminating the need for complex and costly relearn procedures at a shop. Simply send us your old module, and we’ll send it back with your ready-to-install replacement.
From the Diagnostic Bay: The Case of the Confused Crossover
A customer brought in their 2008 Saturn Outlook with a frustrating list of complaints: the radio would turn on and off, the power liftgate worked only sometimes, and the anti-theft light would flash, preventing it from starting. They had already replaced the battery and checked the alternator. The culprit? The BCM. After swapping in our cloned 2007-2010 Outlook BCM, every single issue was resolved instantly. The vehicle started right up, and all accessories worked perfectly. This is a prime example of how a single failing module can create a cascade of seemingly unrelated problems, and why a correctly prepared replacement is critical.
Common Signs of a Failing Saturn BCM
- ✔ Intermittent or non-functional power windows, door locks, and interior lights.
- ✔ The security or anti-theft system light stays on, causing a no-start condition.
- ✔ Erratic behavior from the radio, climate controls, or dashboard gauges.
- ✔ False warnings on the driver information center (e.g., “Service StabiliTrak”).
- ✔ Communication error codes, such as U0140 (Lost Communication With Body Control Module).
- ✔ Rapid battery drain while the vehicle is parked.
A Straightforward Guide to Your BCM Installation
- ✔ Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery to prevent any electrical shorts.
- ✔ Locate the BCM: On the 2007-2010 Saturn Outlook, the Body Control Module is typically located in the center dash area, often accessible by removing the glove box or a lower dash panel.
- ✔ Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors from the old BCM. They have locking tabs that need to be depressed. Once disconnected, unbolt or unclip the module from its mounting bracket.
- ✔ Install the New Module: Mount your new, cloned BCM in the exact same position and securely reconnect all electrical harnesses. Ensure each connector clicks into place.
- ✔ Reconnect Power: Reattach the negative battery terminal.
- ✔ Test All Functions: Start the vehicle and test all body-related functions—windows, locks, lights, radio, etc.—to confirm the repair was successful.
Post-Installation Checks: What to Know
Thanks to our cloning service, most vehicles will not require any additional steps. However, in some cases, you may need a professional scan tool for minor sync procedures:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a simple ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure may be needed to sync the systems.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On certain models, a brake pedal position sensor relearn might be required to ensure brake lights and traction control function correctly.
Disclaimer: Vehicle systems can vary. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for procedures specific to your vehicle.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a BCM cloning service?
Cloning is a process where we transfer the complete software and vehicle-specific data (like key information and security settings) from your old BCM to the replacement one. This makes the new module a perfect electronic match for your vehicle, avoiding the need for expensive dealer programming.
Do I need to send my original BCM to you?
Yes. For the cloning service to work, we need your original module to extract the data. We will return your original module along with the newly prepared replacement unit. We do not keep your old part.
Is this repair difficult for a DIYer?
With our cloning service, the electronic part of the job is done for you. The physical replacement is straightforward for someone with basic mechanical skills. It involves removing a few dash panels and swapping the module. No special programming tools are required.
Will this fix my no-start problem?
If your no-start issue is caused by the BCM activating the anti-theft system (a very common failure), then yes, this cloned module will resolve the problem. It will recognize your existing keys, allowing the vehicle to start normally.
What if my airbag light comes on after installation?
This is uncommon but can happen. It simply means the BCM and the airbag module (SDM) need to re-synchronize. A professional scan tool can perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure in a few minutes to clear the light.
