Restore Full Electrical Function to Your SUV
Is your 2005 Saab 9-7X or other GM SUV experiencing bizarre electrical problems? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, or strange warning messages on the dash are often symptoms of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM acts as the central nervous system for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can cause a cascade of frustrating and difficult-to-diagnose issues. This replacement Body Control Module, part number 15065293, is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s electronic stability and performance.
Unlike a generic part from a salvage yard, this BCM is delivered to you fully programmed to your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We flash it with the latest GM-approved software updates, ensuring optimal compatibility and performance right out of the box. This critical programming step eliminates the need for an expensive trip to the dealership for coding, saving you time and money. Simply provide us with your VIN upon purchase, and we’ll handle the rest, shipping you a part that is ready for installation.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We once had a 2004 Trailblazer in the shop with a classic “parasitic draw” issue. The owner had replaced the battery twice and the alternator once, but the battery would still be dead every few mornings. After hours of testing circuits, we traced the draw back to the BCM. It wasn’t fully going to sleep, which in turn kept the radio and instrument cluster partially powered on, slowly draining the battery overnight. A new, properly programmed BCM solved a problem that had cost the owner hundreds in incorrect parts and endless frustration. A faulty BCM can manifest in very misleading ways.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional power windows, locks, and mirrors.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights staying on or not turning on at all.
- ✔ The security system acting up or preventing the vehicle from starting.
- ✔ False warning lights appearing on the instrument cluster (e.g., ABS, Airbag).
- ✔ Intermittent no-start conditions where the engine cranks but won’t fire.
- ✔ Communication errors when scanning the vehicle with a diagnostic tool.
- ✔ Unexplained battery drain, even with the vehicle turned off.

Installation and Post-Install Considerations
Installation is generally straightforward as the BCM is integrated with the front fuse box. However, after installing your new 2005 Saab 9-7X BCM, a couple of additional procedures may be necessary depending on your specific vehicle.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light illuminates after installation, a professional scan tool is required to perform the “Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM” procedure. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system’s Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM).
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: In some cases, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration might be needed to ensure correct brake light operation and traction control functionality.
- No Core Charge: You are not required to return your old, faulty module. There is no core charge associated with this purchase.
We always recommend consulting a factory service manual or a qualified technician if you are unsure about any part of the installation process.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Body Control Module (BCM) do?
The BCM is a computer that controls many of your vehicle’s non-engine related functions. This includes power windows, door locks, interior and exterior lighting, security systems, wipers, and various other comfort and convenience features.
How do I provide my VIN for programming?
After you complete your purchase, you can add your 17-digit VIN to the order notes or reply to your order confirmation email. We cannot ship your part until we receive the VIN.
Is this BCM difficult to install?
For someone with moderate mechanical experience, the physical installation is not overly complex as it’s part of the front fuse box assembly. However, please be aware of the potential post-installation procedures like the airbag sync, which may require a professional-grade scan tool.
Do I need to send my old BCM back?
No. This product comes with no core charge, so you can keep your original module without any additional fees.
What happens if my airbag light is on after installation?
This is a known possibility. The new BCM needs to be electronically introduced to the airbag module (SDM). A technician with a capable scan tool will need to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to resolve this.
Will this fit my 2003 Chevy Trailblazer?
Yes, this BCM is compatible with a wide range of 2002-2005 GM SUVs, including the Trailblazer, Envoy, Bravada, Rainier, and Isuzu Ascender. Please verify your original part number against our list to ensure a perfect match.
