US $1783
Short draining battery led to Body Control Module. BCM replaced. BCM had to be reflashed. The dealer did it incorrectly and a local shop knew more about it and reflashed it while on the phone to GM engineers (like the dealer should have done). Saturns are more difficult to flash than most cars.
