End Your Truck’s Electrical Nightmares
Are you battling bizarre electrical gremlins in your 1998 Chevy Blazer, GMC Jimmy, or S10? Flickering lights, unresponsive power windows, a security system with a mind of its own, or random warning lights on the dash are all classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). These issues are more than just an annoyance; they can compromise your vehicle’s function and security. Stop wasting time and money chasing symptoms and get to the root of the problem with a reliable, pre-programmed BCM that restores your truck’s functionality and your peace of mind.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A faulty BCM can cause a wide range of frustrating issues. If you’re experiencing any of the following, your BCM is the likely culprit:
- Power windows, door locks, or mirrors working intermittently or not at all.
- Interior dome lights staying on or not turning on correctly.
- The security or anti-theft system preventing the vehicle from starting.
- Erratic behavior from the radio or instrument cluster gauges.
- False warning lights appearing on the dashboard.
Instead of guessing with a used part from a junkyard that will require an expensive trip to the dealer for programming, the definitive solution is a reliable, correctly programmed 1998 Blazer S10 BCM. We program this module with the latest GM software updates using your vehicle’s specific VIN, ensuring it works seamlessly with your truck’s existing systems right out of the box.

An Expert’s Insight: From over 20 years of working on these GM trucks, I can tell you that BCM failure is often caused by two things: age and voltage irregularities. A weak battery or a failing alternator can send voltage spikes or dips through the electrical system, slowly damaging the sensitive microprocessors inside the BCM. That’s why after installing your new module, it’s always a good idea to have your battery and charging system tested to protect your investment and ensure a long-lasting repair. This simple check can prevent a repeat failure down the road.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the programming process work?
It’s simple. After you place your order, you will need to provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN (Vehicle Identification Number). Our technicians will then use this VIN to load the correct software and vehicle-specific calibrations onto the BCM before we ship it to you.
Where can I find my VIN?
Your VIN is located in several places: on a metal tag on the driver’s side of the dashboard (visible through the windshield), on the driver’s side door jamb sticker, and on your vehicle’s registration and insurance documents.
Is this 1998 Blazer S10 BCM truly plug-and-play?
Yes, for most functions. Because it is pre-programmed, it will control the main body functions upon installation. However, as noted in our instructions, some vehicles may require a simple relearn procedure for the airbag system (if the light is on) or the brake pedal position sensor, which may require a capable diagnostic tool.
Do I need to return my old BCM?
No. This purchase has no core charge. You can keep your original module, which saves you the time and hassle of packaging and shipping it back.
Will this fit my 1998 GMC Jimmy or Oldsmobile Bravada?
Absolutely. This BCM is a direct fit for the 1998 Chevrolet Blazer S10, GMC Jimmy S15, Oldsmobile Bravada, and Isuzu Hombre, provided your original module carries one of the compatible part numbers listed (09366803, 16264870, 16268395).
