Restore Full Electrical Function to Your GM Vehicle
Are you battling frustrating electrical issues in your Saturn Outlook, GMC Acadia, or another compatible GM vehicle? A faulty Body Control Module (BCM) is often the culprit behind a host of problems, from flickering lights and non-responsive power windows to a persistent anti-theft light and a battery that dies overnight. The BCM acts as the central hub for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can create a cascade of confusing symptoms. This replacement Body Control Module, part number 25934762, is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s functionality and peace of mind.
This isn’t just a part in a box. We provide a comprehensive, plug-and-play solution. Before we ship, we program the module with the latest GM software updates using the unique Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) you provide. This critical step ensures the BCM communicates perfectly with your vehicle’s existing systems, eliminating the need for an expensive trip to the dealership for programming. Simply install the module, and you’re ready to go.
From the Diagnostic Bay
A 2009 Acadia (which uses the same BCM) came in with the strangest symptoms. The dome lights would flicker randomly, the radio would shut off, and the battery was dead every morning. The owner had already replaced the battery and alternator. We traced it to a parasitic draw originating from the BCM. It was failing internally and keeping other modules awake, draining the battery. A pre-programmed replacement BCM like this one solved all the issues in under an hour. It’s often the simple fix for the most complex-seeming electrical problems.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Power windows, door locks, or mirrors not working correctly.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights behaving erratically (flickering, staying on, or not turning on).
- ✔ Vehicle security system faults or anti-theft light staying on.
- ✔ Instrument cluster gauges acting erratically or not working.
- ✔ Remote keyless entry failure.
- ✔ Unexplained battery drain (parasitic draw).
- ✔ Wipers operating intermittently or not at all.

Post-Installation Information
While our programming handles the majority of the setup, some vehicles may require minor post-installation procedures. These are typically simple and can sometimes be required depending on your specific vehicle’s configuration.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is on 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: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor relearn may be necessary to ensure correct brake light and traction control operation.
Please note: Specific procedures can vary. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a BCM and what does it do?
The Body Control Module (BCM) is a computer in your vehicle that controls and monitors a wide range of electronic accessories not related to the engine, such as power windows, lights, security systems, wipers, and door locks.
Do I need to get this programmed at the dealership?
No. We program the module to your vehicle’s VIN before shipping it to you. This makes the unit plug-and-play, saving you the time and expense of a dealership visit for programming.
What information do you need from me?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to provide us with your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship the module until we have this information to perform the programming.
Is this part difficult to install?
For the 2007-2010 Outlook, the BCM is typically located in the center dash area. For someone with moderate DIY automotive experience, the replacement is straightforward. However, we always recommend consulting a service manual or a professional technician if you are unsure.
What happens if my airbag light comes on after installation?
This can happen occasionally. It means the new BCM needs to be synced with your vehicle’s airbag module (SDM). A procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ must be performed with a professional-grade diagnostic tool to resolve this.
Is there a core charge for my old part?
No, there is no core charge for this part. You can keep your original module.
