Is Your Vehicle Experiencing Strange Electrical Problems?
If your 2008-2010 Saturn Vue is acting possessed—with flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows or locks, a security system that won’t cooperate, or an instrument cluster that seems to have a mind of its own—you’re likely dealing with a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central nervous system for your vehicle’s body electronics, managing everything from interior lighting and keyless entry to the anti-theft system. When it fails, it can cause a cascade of frustrating and seemingly unrelated issues.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We recently had a 2009 Saturn Vue come into the shop with a classic BCM failure. The owner complained that their interior lights would stay on intermittently, draining the battery overnight. They had already replaced the battery twice. A quick scan showed communication faults with the BCM. Instead of a costly diagnostic and programming session at the dealership, we installed one of our VIN-programmed modules. The vehicle was back to normal in under an hour, saving the customer hundreds of dollars and the headache of future dead batteries. This is the simple, effective solution we offer directly to you.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional power windows, door locks, and mirrors.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights that won’t turn on or off correctly.
- ✔ The security system or key fob not working as it should.
- ✔ Warning lights on the dashboard that appear without cause.
- ✔ Intermittent starting problems or a no-start condition.
- ✔ Horn honking unexpectedly or not working at all.

Installation and Post-Install Notes
Installation is straightforward for those with mechanical experience. Once installed, most functions will be immediately restored. However, in some vehicles, additional steps may be required:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure must be performed with a professional scan tool. This is only necessary if the light is on.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: Some models may require a brake pedal position sensor relearn to ensure proper function of the brake lights and stability control systems.
We are committed to making your repair as simple as possible. By providing your VIN at checkout, you ensure that the 2008-2010 Vue BCM you receive is perfectly matched to your vehicle’s specific configuration.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to program this BCM?
No. We program the module to your vehicle’s specific VIN before shipping it to you. It will arrive ready to be installed, saving you a trip to the dealer.
What does a Body Control Module do?
The BCM is a computer that controls and monitors many of your vehicle’s electronic accessories that are not related to the engine. This includes power windows, locks, lights, wipers, security system, and the instrument cluster.
Where is the BCM located on a 2008-2010 Saturn Vue?
On the 2008-2010 Saturn Vue, the Body Control Module is typically located in the center dash area, often behind or near the radio or climate controls.
Is there a core charge for this part?
No, there is no core charge. You can keep your original module without needing to send it back.
What if my airbag light comes on after I install the new BCM?
If the airbag light is on, it means the new BCM needs to be synchronized with the airbag system’s SDM (Sensing and Diagnostic Module). This requires a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure, which can be done by a repair shop with a professional-grade diagnostic tool.
Will this fit other vehicles besides the Saturn Vue?
Yes, this BCM is compatible with a wide array of GM vehicles, including models of the Equinox, Traverse, Acadia, Impala, and Express/Savana vans. Please check the extensive part number list and fitment guide on this page to confirm it matches your vehicle.
