Restore Full Electrical Function to Your Saturn VUE
Is your 2008, 2009, or 2010 Saturn VUE experiencing bizarre and frustrating electrical problems? From flickering lights and malfunctioning power windows to a vehicle that won’t start, a failing Body Control Module (BCM) is often the culprit. The BCM acts as the central nervous system for your vehicle’s body electronics, coordinating everything from the interior lights and power locks to the security system. When it fails, it can cause a cascade of seemingly unrelated issues that are difficult to diagnose. This replacement Body Control Module, part number 95151084, is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s functionality and reliability.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2009 Saturn VUE come into the shop with a list of complaints that seemed endless. The owner reported that sometimes the radio wouldn’t turn off, the power locks worked intermittently, and the dome light would stay on, draining the battery. They had already replaced the battery twice. After hours of checking wiring diagrams and testing individual components, all signs pointed to an internal failure in the BCM. It was sending erratic signals across the vehicle’s network. Installing a VIN-programmed BCM like this one resolved every single issue instantly. It’s a reminder that one single component can cause a host of confusing problems.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Intermittent or non-functional power windows, locks, or mirrors.
- ✔ Flickering or inoperative interior and exterior lights.
- ✔ Erratic behavior from the dashboard gauges or warning lights.
- ✔ Problems with the vehicle’s anti-theft or keyless entry system.
- ✔ A ‘no-start’ condition where the engine cranks but won’t fire up.
- ✔ Unexplained battery drain when the vehicle is turned off.
- ✔ Climate control system malfunctions.
The Plug-and-Play Solution: Your 2008-2010 VUE Body Control Module
Don’t let a faulty module keep your vehicle off the road. We make the replacement process simple and straightforward. Unlike a generic module from a dealership or parts store that requires expensive programming tools, this 2008-2010 VUE Body Control Module arrives at your door pre-programmed specifically for your vehicle. Simply provide us with your vehicle’s VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) during checkout, and our technicians will flash the module with the latest GM-certified software and calibrations. This ensures seamless integration with your VUE’s existing systems, making installation as close to plug-and-play as possible.
Post-Installation Information
While our VIN programming handles the critical setup, some vehicles may require minor follow-up procedures to sync all systems perfectly. These are typically straightforward and can be performed with a professional-grade scan tool.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure is needed to sync the new BCM with the airbag system. This is a security measure to ensure the safety systems are correctly communicating.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be necessary. This ensures your brake lights and traction control system function as intended.
Please note: Specific procedures can vary by vehicle. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do you need my VIN?
Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) allows us to program the Body Control Module with the exact software and settings your specific vehicle requires. This includes options like keyless entry, power seats, specific lighting configurations, and more, ensuring a seamless and correct installation.
Is this a difficult part to install?
The physical installation is typically straightforward for someone with moderate DIY mechanical skill. The BCM is usually located under the dashboard. However, because it’s a sensitive electronic component, we recommend following a service manual. Some vehicles may require post-install procedures like an airbag sync, which requires a professional scan tool.
Do I need to return my old BCM?
No, there is no core charge for this part. You can keep your original module.
What happens if my airbag light is on after installation?
This is a normal security procedure for some vehicles. The new BCM needs to be electronically introduced to the airbag’s Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM). A procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ must be performed with a professional diagnostic tool to clear the light.
Will this BCM fix my specific electrical problem?
This module will correct issues directly caused by a faulty BCM. The symptoms listed above are strong indicators of BCM failure. However, we always recommend a proper diagnosis by a qualified technician to rule out other potential causes like bad wiring, grounds, or sensors before ordering.
