Restore Your Vehicle’s Electrical System to Perfect Working Order
Is your Cadillac SRX or other GM vehicle suffering from strange and unpredictable electrical problems? Issues like flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows and locks, or a security system that acts up on its own are often not isolated faults. They frequently point to a single, central component: a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM acts as the central nervous system for your vehicle’s body electronics, coordinating everything from your interior lights and power accessories to your anti-theft system. When it starts to fail, it can cause a cascade of frustrating and seemingly unrelated issues.
This is a direct-fit replacement Body Control Module, part number 15276271, designed to resolve these problems and restore your vehicle’s factory functionality. The best part? We eliminate the most complicated step of the repair. Each module is professionally programmed with the latest GM software specifically for your vehicle using the VIN you provide. This means you get a component that is ready for installation right out of the box, saving you a costly trip to the dealership for programming.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2008 Cadillac SRX come into the shop with a list of bizarre symptoms. The owner said the radio would randomly shut off, the driver’s side power window wouldn’t work, and the dome light would stay on after the doors were closed. He had already replaced the window switch and checked fuses with no luck. A full diagnostic scan showed multiple communication errors pointing back to the BCM. Instead of a dozen small problems, it was one big one. Installing a VIN-programmed BCM like this one cleared every single fault code and resolved all the quirky electrical gremlins in one go. It’s a perfect example of how a central module can be the root cause of many different issues.
Symptoms of a Failing Body Control Module
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional interior and exterior lights (headlights, taillights, dome lights).
- ✔ Power windows, door locks, or mirrors working intermittently or not at all.
- ✔ Vehicle security system engaging randomly or preventing the car from starting.
- ✔ Dashboard warning lights (like the airbag or check engine light) illuminating for no reason.
- ✔ Horn, wipers, or radio behaving unpredictably.
- ✔ Problems with the keyless entry system or remote start.
The Simple, VIN-Programmed Solution
Replacing a BCM used to be a job reserved for dealerships with expensive diagnostic tools. Our process makes it accessible for everyone. Simply purchase the module and provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN during checkout. Our technicians will flash the module with the correct software and vehicle-specific configuration. This ensures that all the options your vehicle came with from the factory will work correctly with the new module. This is the definitive solution for your 2007-2009 SRX Body Control Module and a wide range of other GM vehicles.
Installation and Post-Install Steps
Physical installation typically involves locating the old BCM (often under the dash on the driver’s side), disconnecting the battery, unplugging the electrical connectors, and swapping the module. While our programming makes this a near plug-and-play repair, some vehicles may require additional relearn procedures after installation. These can include:
- Airbag System Sync: If your airbag warning light is on after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure may be needed using a professional scan tool to sync the modules.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: Some models may require a brake pedal position sensor recalibration to ensure proper brake light and traction control operation.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for vehicle-specific instructions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to get this BCM programmed by a dealer?
No. We handle all the programming for you before shipment. Simply provide your vehicle’s VIN when you order, and the module will arrive ready to be installed, saving you time and money.
Where is the BCM located on a 2007-2009 Cadillac SRX?
On the 2007-2009 SRX, the Body Control Module is typically located on the left-hand (driver’s side) of the dash, often behind the lower dash panel near the steering column.
What happens if I install this without programming?
An unprogrammed BCM will not work correctly. It may cause numerous electrical issues or prevent the vehicle from starting altogether, as it won’t recognize your vehicle’s security system or specific options. Our pre-programming service is essential for a successful repair.
Is this a new or used part?
This is a high-quality, inspected, and tested component that is guaranteed to perform to OEM standards. It is loaded with fresh, vehicle-specific software from GM.
Will this fix my car’s battery drain problem?
A faulty BCM is a common cause of parasitic battery drain, as it can fail to let other modules go into ‘sleep’ mode when the vehicle is off. While this module can resolve such issues, it’s always best to have a technician perform a proper parasitic draw test to confirm the BCM is the source of the drain before ordering.
