Tired of Bizarre Electrical Problems in Your Saturn Outlook?
If your 2007-2010 Saturn Outlook is starting to feel haunted—with flickering lights, power windows and locks with a mind of their own, or an intermittent no-start condition—you’re not alone. As a technician with over two decades of experience, I’ve seen these exact issues countless times. The culprit is almost always a failing Body Control Module (BCM), the central hub for your vehicle’s comfort and convenience electronics. When it goes, it can cause a cascade of frustrating and unpredictable problems.
Don’t let a faulty module sideline your vehicle or force you into an expensive dealership visit. We offer a reliable, cost-effective solution: a replacement Body Control Module, part number 25910474, that arrives at your door fully programmed and ready for installation. Simply provide your vehicle’s VIN at checkout, and our experts will flash the module with the latest GM software specific to your Outlook. This eliminates the need for expensive scan tools or a trip to the dealer for programming, saving you significant time and money.
From the Diagnostic Bay: The Case of the Haunted SUV
A customer brought in their 2009 Saturn Outlook last month with a laundry list of complaints: the radio would turn off randomly, the liftgate wouldn’t open, and the security light was flashing, preventing the car from starting some mornings. They had already replaced the battery, but the gremlins persisted. My scan tool revealed several communication error codes (U-codes) pointing to a network issue. After checking the main power and ground connections to the BCM, it was clear the module itself was failing internally. We installed one of our pre-programmed units, and within an hour, every single issue was resolved. This is a classic failure scenario for this 2007-2010 Outlook Body Control Module, and a new, properly programmed unit is the definitive fix.
Is Your Outlook Exhibiting These BCM Failure Signs?
A failing BCM can manifest in numerous ways. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is likely the solution you need:
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional power windows, door locks, or mirrors.
- ✔ Interior dome lights or dashboard lights staying on or not working at all.
- ✔ The security system acting up, causing a no-start condition (flashing security light).
- ✔ Horn honking unexpectedly or not working when pressed.
- ✔ Remote keyless entry failing to respond.
- ✔ Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) related to communication errors (U0140, U0155, etc.) or internal module failure.
- ✔ Wipers operating intermittently or not parking in the correct position.
Your Straightforward BCM Installation Guide
Replacing the BCM in your Saturn Outlook is a manageable task for the confident DIYer. Because we handle the programming, your job is simply the physical swap. For the 2007-2010 Outlook, the BCM is typically located in the center dash area.
- Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery and wait a few minutes before starting work.
- Locate the Module: Access the BCM by removing the necessary trim panels around the center console or lower dashboard. Its exact position can be confirmed with a vehicle-specific repair manual.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors from the old BCM. They have locking tabs that must be depressed. Once disconnected, unbolt or unclip the module from its mounting bracket.
- Install the New BCM: Mount your new, pre-programmed BCM in the same location and securely plug in all the electrical connectors. You should hear a click as they lock into place.
- Reconnect and Test: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Turn the key to the ‘On’ position and test all body functions—lights, locks, windows, etc.—to confirm proper operation.
Important Post-Installation Steps
After installing your new 2007-2010 Outlook Body Control Module, a couple of final procedures are required to ensure all systems are fully integrated and functional. These steps often require a professional-grade scan tool.
- Airbag System (SRS): If the airbag warning light is on, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure must be performed. This re-establishes communication between the new BCM and the airbag system’s Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM).
- Brake Pedal Position Sensor: Some vehicles require a recalibration of the brake pedal position sensor after BCM replacement. This is critical for the proper function of the traction control and anti-lock brake systems.

Frequently Asked Questions About This BCM
Do I need to program or flash this module?
No. We handle all the programming for you before shipment. Just provide your VIN during checkout, and the module will arrive ready to install, saving you a trip to the dealership.
Where is the BCM located on my 2008 Saturn Outlook?
The BCM on the 2007-2010 Saturn Outlook is located inside the vehicle, typically in the center dash area, often near the bottom of the center stack or behind the glove compartment.
Will this fix my airbag light?
A faulty BCM can cause the airbag light to illuminate. While this module will fix the root cause, the system requires a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key’ procedure with a scan tool after installation to turn off the light and ensure the system is operational.
What is a VIN and why do you need it?
The VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) is a unique 17-digit code for your specific vehicle. We use it to load the exact software and vehicle-specific options your Outlook came with from the factory, ensuring perfect compatibility.
Is this a difficult part to replace for a DIYer?
For someone comfortable with using basic hand tools and removing interior trim panels, this is a very manageable job. The most difficult part—the programming—is already done for you.
What if I have another GM vehicle on the fitment list?
This 2007-2010 Outlook Body Control Module is also the correct part for dozens of other GM cars, trucks, and SUVs. The programming we perform is specific to the VIN you provide, so it will work perfectly for any compatible vehicle on the list.
