Restore Your Vehicle’s Electrical System with a VIN-Programmed BCM
Are you battling frustrating and unpredictable electrical problems in your Buick Enclave or other compatible GM vehicle? Issues like flickering interior or exterior lights, malfunctioning power windows and locks, a haywire security system, or false warning lights on your dash are common indicators of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM acts as the central nervous system for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can create a cascade of confusing and annoying problems. This replacement Body Control Module, part number 95151084, is the definitive solution to restore order and functionality to your vehicle.
Unlike a generic module from a parts store, this BCM is professionally programmed to your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) before it ships. This critical step ensures that the module is correctly configured for your car’s unique features and options package, eliminating the need for an expensive trip to the dealership for programming. It’s a direct-fit solution designed to get you back on the road with confidence and without the hassle.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2011 GMC Acadia (which uses the same platform as the Enclave) come into the shop with the strangest set of symptoms. The owner complained that sometimes the radio wouldn’t turn off after opening the door, the dome lights would stay on, and the key fob would intermittently stop working. We checked all the usual suspects—door jamb switches, wiring harnesses, and fuses—but everything tested fine. After connecting our diagnostic scanner, we noticed communication errors originating from the BCM. A failing internal relay inside the original module was causing these ghost-like problems. Installing a VIN-programmed 2008-2012 Enclave BCM resolved every single issue instantly, saving the customer from hours of further diagnostic labor and frustration.
Is Your Vehicle Showing Signs of a Failing BCM?
- ✔ Intermittent or non-functional power windows, door locks, or mirrors.
- ✔ Interior dome lights or exterior parking lights staying on or not working at all.
- ✔ Erratic or non-responsive dashboard gauges and warning lights.
- ✔ The security system or anti-theft light flashing, preventing the car from starting.
- ✔ Key fob failing to lock or unlock the doors.
- ✔ Radio not turning off after the key is removed and the door is opened.
- ✔ Unpredictable behavior from the climate control system.
Installation and Post-Install Notes for Your 2008-2012 Enclave BCM
Physically replacing the BCM is generally a straightforward process. On most compatible models like the Buick Enclave, GMC Acadia, and Chevy Traverse, the module is located under the dashboard on the driver’s side (LH dash). While our VIN programming handles the majority of the setup, certain vehicle systems may require a relearn or synchronization procedure after the new module is installed. This is a normal part of the process for ensuring all vehicle systems communicate correctly.
Potential Post-Installation Procedures:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure is necessary. This requires a professional-grade scan tool to sync the new BCM with the airbag system’s Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM).
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration might be needed. This ensures the 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
What exactly does a Body Control Module (BCM) do?
The BCM is a computer in your vehicle responsible for managing and monitoring various electronic accessories that are not related to the engine. This includes power windows, locks, lights, wipers, the security system, and the climate control fans, among other things.
Why is providing my VIN so important?
Your vehicle’s VIN allows us to program the BCM with the latest GM software specific to your car’s factory-installed options and security protocols. This ensures seamless integration and prevents compatibility issues that would otherwise require a dealership visit.
Is this BCM difficult to install?
The physical installation is typically simple, involving unplugging the old module and plugging in the new one. However, as noted above, some vehicles may require a post-installation ‘relearn’ or ‘sync’ procedure for systems like the airbags or brakes, which may require a professional scan tool.
Where is the BCM located on a 2008-2012 Buick Enclave?
On the Buick Enclave and its sister vehicles (like the GMC Acadia and Chevy Traverse), the BCM is typically found under the dashboard on the driver’s side, often near the steering column or kick panel.
Do I need to return my old BCM?
No. This product comes with no core charge. You can keep your original module without any additional fees or hassle.
Will this module fix my specific electrical problem?
This BCM will resolve issues directly caused by a faulty module. However, electrical problems can also stem from bad wiring, fuses, or relays. It is always best to have the vehicle properly diagnosed, but the symptoms listed are highly indicative of BCM failure.
