Restore Full Electrical Control to Your Vehicle
Is your SAAB 9-7X, Chevy Trailblazer, or GMC Envoy suffering from bizarre electrical issues? Flickering lights, unresponsive power windows, or random warning indicators are common signs 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 problems. This replacement Body Control Module, part number 25802312, is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s proper function and reliability.
Unlike a standard replacement from a dealership or parts store, this module arrives at your door pre-programmed to your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We flash it with the latest GM-certified software updates, ensuring optimal performance and compatibility. This critical programming step means you can avoid expensive dealership programming fees and lengthy service appointments. It’s a true plug-and-play solution designed for a straightforward installation.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2007 GMC Envoy in the shop with a classic case of ‘haunted car’ syndrome. The dome lights would stay on, the radio would cut out, and the power locks worked only when they felt like it. The customer was convinced the BCM was toast. Before swapping the module, we did a quick check of the main ground points under the driver’s side door sill. Sure enough, the G201 ground was corroded from years of winter salt. After cleaning the connection point, all the symptoms vanished. While a faulty BCM was a likely culprit, this case was a reminder: always check your grounds first! A few minutes with a wire brush can sometimes save you hundreds of dollars.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional interior and exterior lights.
- ✔ Power windows, door locks, or mirrors operating intermittently or not at all.
- ✔ The security system engaging randomly or preventing the vehicle from starting.
- ✔ False warning lights appearing on the instrument cluster (e.g., ABS, Airbag, Service Engine).
- ✔ Inconsistent A/C and heater blower motor operation.
- ✔ Communication errors with diagnostic scan tools.

Installation and Post-Install Notes
Installation is generally straightforward, as the BCM is typically located in or near the interior fuse panel. Once installed, the module is ready to operate. However, in some cases, additional synchronization procedures may be required:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a professional scan tool is needed to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: A brake pedal position sensor recalibration might be necessary on certain models to ensure correct brake light and traction control functionality.
There is no core charge for this part. You can keep your original module without needing to send anything back.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the BCM do on my SAAB 9-7X?
The Body Control Module (BCM) is a computer that manages and controls many of your vehicle’s non-engine related functions. This includes power windows, door locks, interior and exterior lighting, the security system, and climate controls.
Is this BCM difficult to install?
For someone with basic mechanical skills, the installation is manageable. The BCM is usually located near the interior fuse box. The main benefit of our service is that the module is pre-programmed, eliminating the most difficult step which requires specialized dealer tools.
Do I need to send my old BCM back?
No. We do not require you to return your original module. There is no core charge associated with this purchase.
What if my airbag light is on after installation?
This can happen occasionally. It means the new BCM needs to be electronically introduced to the vehicle’s airbag computer (SDM). A technician with a professional-grade scan tool will need to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to resolve this.
Will this fit my 2007 Chevy Trailblazer?
Yes, this BCM is compatible with a wide range of GM SUVs built on the same platform, including the 2006-2009 Chevy Trailblazer (without security system). Please check the detailed fitment list on this page to confirm compatibility with your specific model and options.
How do I provide my VIN for programming?
After you complete your purchase, you will receive instructions on how to send us your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. We cannot ship your order until we receive and validate your VIN, as this is essential for the programming process.
