    Excellent information. I was searching another issue I am having with my 2004 Vue Redline and thought I'd watch your video. I haven't had the BCM issue although my car is often in extreme heat in Arizona. Thanks for posting and don't give up on Saturn Vue. You may be one of the few people in the country that knows these cars so well, better than the dealers.

    Matt, great video. My 2006 SA Vue is exemplifying all the symptoms of a bad BCM, i.e., fuel gauge is erratic, door locks are locking and unlocking by themselves, anti-theft light comes on while the vehicle is running, stalling while driving, major jumping when engaging the gear shifter into drive or into reverse and high idle then low, then high. My gas gauge has been acting erratically for about a yr now.....progressively gotten worse in the last few months. Anytime it's between a 1/2 and 1/4 qtr tank, it will sometimes read empty until I restart the car. This has been very helpful! Thanks

    I know this is an old video, however, here's a tip... You saw signs of heat on the BCM board. You also saw that the silver capacitor can was swollen. This capacitor is an electrolytic type. They are known to have a super high failure rate. Swelling is one sign of failure. Leakage is another. They also commonly fail without any visual indication. It takes electrical test equipment to find those. It is likely that this cap was the total problem. It shorted the circuit and caused the other components to overheat, too. Another point about this particular cap... It is a type that does not have electrical pins that are soldered through the board. It has solder pads, underneath the cap. This is a Surface Mount Device (SMD) type. They require a little more advanced soldering skills to replace, but it can still be replaced easily. This cap, in a high quality brand, should not cost more than a couple of dollars. Because the board still worked to start the car, I would have replaced this cap and then just kept an eye out for any future problems. I do not think any type of reprogramming would have been necessary. You would do well to team up with a local person that has electronics repair skills, just like you have mechanical skills. Thank you for sharing so graciously. I hope this information helps, as well.

      @@hobbypower2 I would not give you direct advice. I have the skills and tools, so, for me, I would give it a try. And, again for me, I would replace the main electrolytic caps as a matter of maintenance/age, even if they showed no signs of failing, because it is so hard to dig the BCM out of the car. If you do not have the skills/tools, find someone that does. HTH.

      @@hobbypower2 I am proud of you for trying. If you don't have to have use of the vehicle immediately, keep at it, as a learning experience. You can achieve a lot with just a multimeter. Or, take it to someone with more electronics skills and equipment. There is a saying in electronics = "Thou shall check all thy voltages." Meaning, that a good many of electronics faults are just power not reaching the various components. First, check the board for dead shorts... Read continuity from the power rails to ground. There should not be direct contact. Make sure that power is actually reaching the main board/PCB, itself. Then, make sure that the main board is breaking that voltage down into the various needed voltages. Meaning, look for any voltage regulators. Make sure there is power going into them and that an adjusted volage is coming out. Then, make sure that voltage is reaching the components that actually do something... Such as a controller chip, transistor, or amplifier. Watch YT videos to learn. Use proper safety techniques - like draining capacitors, before beginning work and every time the board is powered. I take no liability for anything. HTH.

    Mine had the same problem and a used BCM got it working fine (except for the odometer). I didn't realize all the heat damage it had until I saw this video; I thought it was some manufacturing coating. Having the odometer fixed after going though a list of mechanics was disappointing - I was told it would cost $800 and I didn't trust that they could complete it. I bought a Tech 2 and got TIS2000 software and TIS2Web from ACDelco: not recommended if your not a dealer or can see exactly how to reprogram the odometer.

    I had issues with my driver and passenger windows not rolling up, took it to a Chevy dealer that got all the old Saturn dealership customers when they went out of business. Chevy dealer said it was a bad BCM and quoted me $900 for the BCM and $200 to program it. I said pass and found a local mechanic that said the wiring was just shot. A weekend and $100 later my windows worked. Course now the passenger one is wonky again but I generally don't have passengers and it's a 2003 ION so just keeping it for the next year or so because the AC is shot (leak in the system, the local mechanic that did a great job on my windows just topped off the refrigerant and a few months later it stopped working again) and with 200k miles it's at the point where I'd be better off with a new vehicle.

    I had to have my 2009 vue towed today because of some simular problems.
    There was days it done just fine then it started getting worse like the radio and the onstar stopped working at times and the chime would not work or it would be delayed and the turn signal would work but no clicking. And it also wouldn't turn over. The wrecker driver stuck some jumper cables to it and everything started working. Like I said it has not started In the past but if you would wait 5 minutes then it would start but today it didn't work out that way.

    You could always take the MB to an electronics repair shop and have the components tested, ought to cost around $20 to do a quick test of the board....Maybe another $30 to replace the bad chip or at least the knowledge that the board is 100% of the problem and not the wiring or the board went bad because of a short in the wiring which is probably the root of the problem and will just burn out another board if not traced and repaired...

    My Saturn L200 A/C doesn't work. It kept working then it didn't. It worked, then it didn't. Now it didn't come on at all. The running lights will work, then they don't. One high beam works, then NO high beams. Then you turn the key off, turn it back on, the running lights and high beams work again. I had it in the shop 2 days about the A/C and the tech can't find the problem. There's no signal to the pressure switch to kick on the clutch. The clutch is good because he used a jumper relay and it comes on, so the clutch isn't the issue. I'm thinking it's the BCM causing the issues. It actually all falls together if you think about it. On my wiring diagram an A/C circuit is part of the module. I was also told by 2 techs a used 2001 BCM doesn't need programmed because its too old. They said it should be plug and play on that year model. We'll see.

    Question. This may sound so dumb but I used to own a WRX so I promise I learned a lot on the fly with that little baby, and I’m not 100% ignorant. So the fuse box in the engine...there are fuses for the ignition and power windows etc, how the hell do I remove those? Is it cool to just use pliers? Specifically I am trying to remove the 30A for the power windows. I’ve check the inside fuse and replaced the relay box so this is my last shot at the power window issue. However...I seriously have no clue how that sucker comes out. I have a 2004 Saturn Vue but I assume it’s a pretty universal approach...🙏❤️😇 - Gina Marie

Bypassing the computer upon start up will also bypass safety mechanisms like the neutral safety switch. If you were to ever get into a accident that involved an injury and investigation you might find your self in serious trouble and regardless of who's fault due to the fact that safety mechanisms have been bypassed you will be at fault and liable for everything.

    I’m having trouble with my 2007 Saturn aura XR. How I know the car won’t start is when the gas gauge wouldn’t work before fully starting and the abs light and traction service and service engine light will come on. And sometimes it would start and then randomly while I’m driving the abs light comes on and none of my gauges work and I have to push hard on the gas to go like it’s struggling to accelerate. I’ve almost gotten into an accident because of this. However,yesterday I was stranded at work for two hours cuz my car wouldn’t start but made a single click sound when I tried to start it and then another click when I left off of the key.

Replaced the battery, alternator, and starter.. I've replaced the starter and ignition relay. After the relays where replaced I got a service theft system light on the center dash tried doing the relearn and nothing.. I then replaced the locking cylinder and ignition switch and nothing... so now I'm thinking BCM because of weird dash behavior and the car wont start at all and sometimes clicks when I try to turn it over.. I'm at a loss and it's been a pain in my butt XD

    Hey Matt,
    Please tell me how to get the BCM *OUT* of the slide. I saw one UA-camr said to push down on it and pull toward you. When I do that I can get one side or the other to pop out, but not both. As soon as either the left or right side pops out, the module is on a kilter and in a bind - can't get the other side out. Thanks for your help.

    II have a Saturn 2002 L300 145k miles the service light started showing up for 30 sec sporadically , took it to advance auto to search but the code wasn't available,. Then I noticed that the interior lights and lights over the mirror wouldn't work sometimes and now the key fob doesn't want to work and the key acts as though it doesn't want to go in the door lock. Does this sound like a bad body control module? Is the part located in the same place as the vue?

    Hm, this looks like a similar problem to my 2004 Saturn L300. We thought it had run out of gas but after adding at least 5 gallons, it still has power but won't start. When you try, the fuel guage doesn't move (not looked at the temperature panel). It also makes a clicking noise after trying. The garage I took it to says it's the ECM that's bad but could it actually be the BCM?

    Hi Matt, you seem to love tough ones so I thought I would share a problem. 1998 Chevy express 2500 4.3L. 1 year ago started stumbling and stalling in reverse. In a few months it progressed todrive and reverse only in drive it was more of a cold running issue. Replaced thermostat and temp sending unit with no change. Engine started stalling while city driving when coming to stops or near idle with gas pedal. After more time it was flooding out on cold starts and would only start holding pedal to floor and a lot of cranking. Replaced CPS and programmed with no change. Finally got to a point of no start. A friend used a Snap on brick and came up with bad MAF sensor. Replaced and ran good for two 3 mile trips, next day started having same issues. Having said all this the puzzle is after the thermostat cycles one time it runs great with the exception of stumbling in reverse intermittently. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Got it started again got home, knew the battery was getting weak so i changed the battery. Now it won't stay running. Replaced map sensor, tps, cps, ects, icm, idle air valve, bcm was checked. All tests for compression, fuel pressure, vacuum are good. Still won't stay running. Cuts off after 3 seconds. Security light is not on. Key fob doesn't work. Any ideas? Need the car to run desperately! Anyone have this issue before?

Let it reset for 2 hours then it will start. But now. It wont reset anymore. It just makes that clicking security sound. I already spent alot of money for mechanics to come n look at it, but no one can tell me whats wrong. I want to just get rid of it because its costing me ins every month. I tried to sell it for parts but no takers (dont blame them) worse it I live in Reno,NV. And the car is in Sacramento. Idk what to do anymore.

    Hi Matt
    Thanks for the video. Were you ever able to find a company that could repair or rebuild the motherboard of the BCM? If so did it fix the no start problem? I see you have link to amazon where original equipment BCM can be purchased. I was hoping you had luck in the repaired motherboard of BCM. I appreciate your time.

      update on this for now- took out all fuses and checked each one inside engine, if any are worn,look even bit burnt or tiny crack this could cause a issue. After replacing practically all the 10A fuse we have a starting VUE. I took time to mark all fuses and printed fuse guide off www.autogenius.info/saturn-vue-2005-2007-fuse-box-diagram/. Used as a checklist. hope this helps. So BBA-reman might be scamming or maybe "soldering" was done within the BCM we may never know. Issues we are having still are interior lighting. I have to say in video you talk about the fuel cluster, this is now functioning once change of fuse that to knowledge was receiving intermittent current from tiny crack.
      Thanks Matt for taking time to put video up.
