Restore Full Functionality to Your Silverado 3500
Is your Silverado plagued by bizarre electrical issues? Flickering lights, unresponsive power windows, or a climate control system with a mind of its own are more than just annoyancesโthey’re signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). This critical component is the central command for your truck’s body electronics. When it fails, it can make your reliable workhorse feel unpredictable. Our pre-programmed BCM is the definitive, no-hassle solution to get your truck back in dependable working order without a costly trip to the dealership.

Expert Insight: The No-Start Nightmare
A customer with a 2013 Silverado 3500 was stranded at a job site. His truck would crank but not start, and the security light was flashing. After towing it to a shop, they quoted him over $1000 for a new BCM plus dealership programming fees and several days of downtime. He found our VIN-programmed 2013 Silverado 3500 BCM 25790509 online instead. It arrived the next day, he installed it in the parking lot in under 10 minutes, and the truck fired right up. He saved hundreds of dollars and, more importantly, avoided losing days of work. That’s the power of a pre-programmed, direct-fit solution.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Body Control Module do on my Silverado?
The BCM acts as the central computer for your truck’s body electronics. It controls non-engine related functions like power windows, door locks, interior and exterior lighting, the security system, wipers, and the HVAC climate control system.
Is this module truly ‘plug and play’?
Yes. By programming the module to your vehicle’s specific VIN before shipping, we handle the complex part. This allows you to simply install it without needing a trip to the dealer for additional programming, saving you significant time and money.
What if my airbag light is on after installation?
In some cases, a persistent airbag light (often with code B1001) requires a final sync between the new BCM and the airbag system’s SDM. This is a simple procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ that can be performed by a technician with a professional-grade scan tool.
Do I need to return my old BCM?
No. There is no core charge for this part. You can keep or dispose of your old module at your convenience.
How can I be sure this is the right part for my truck?
This module is a direct replacement for a wide range of 2007-2013 GM trucks and SUVs. The best way to confirm is to match the part number on your original BCM to one of the interchangeable numbers listed, such as 2013 Silverado 3500 BCM 25790509. If you are unsure, our support team is happy to help you verify fitment.
Where is the BCM located on my 2013 Silverado 3500?
The Body Control Module is typically located under the driver’s side of the dashboard, near the steering column. It is usually accessible by removing the lower dash panel.
