Restore Your Truck’s Electrical System with a VIN-Programmed BCM
If you’re dealing with baffling electrical problems in your 2006-2007 GM HD truck, you know how frustrating it can be. One minute your power windows work, the next they don’t. The security light flashes for no reason, or your radio and interior lights have a mind of their own. These aren’t just random glitches; they’re classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). This module is the central command center for your truck’s body electronics, and when it starts to fail, it can cause a cascade of confusing issues. This replacement BCM, part number 15107479, is the reliable, straightforward solution to get your truck back to normal.
We take the guesswork and hassle out of the repair. Forget about expensive trips to the dealership for programming. Simply provide us with your vehicle’s VIN during checkout, and our technicians will flash this module with the latest official GM software specific to your truck. It arrives at your door ready for installation, saving you significant time and money. This is the most efficient way to solve those persistent electrical gremlins and restore full functionality to your vehicle’s accessories and security systems.
From the Diagnostic Bay: The Ghost in the Machine
I remember a 2007 Silverado 3500 Classic that came into my shop with a list of electrical complaints that seemed unrelated. The owner said his power door locks would cycle randomly while driving, the dome light would flicker, and sometimes the radio wouldn’t turn on. He’d already replaced the battery and checked all the fuses. We scanned for codes and found a handful of ‘U’ codes, indicating a loss of communication between modules. After verifying the network wiring, all signs pointed to the BCM. A failing BCM can act like a noisy person in a library, disrupting communication for everyone else. We installed a VIN-programmed BCM, and instantly, all the ghost-like problems vanished. It’s a perfect example of how one central component, the 2006-2007 Sierra 2500 BCM, can be the root of so many issues.
Is Your Truck Showing These Symptoms?
A failing BCM can manifest in numerous ways. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is the likely solution:
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional power windows, door locks, or mirrors.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights flickering, staying on, or not working at all.
- ✔ The security or anti-theft system light is illuminated or flashing, preventing the engine from starting.
- ✔ Instrument cluster gauges behaving erratically or going dark.
- ✔ Diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) related to loss of communication, such as U0140, U0155, or U0164.
- ✔ The radio or HVAC controls work intermittently or not at all.
Your Straightforward Installation Guide
Replacing the BCM is a manageable job for a DIYer with basic tools. The module is located under the driver’s side of the dashboard, near the steering column.
- Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your truck’s battery before working on any electrical components.
- Access the Module: Remove the lower dash panel beneath the steering wheel to gain access to the BCM. It’s typically held in a bracket with a few small bolts or clips.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the multiple wiring harness connectors from the old BCM. Pay attention to the release tabs on each connector; never force them. Once disconnected, remove the old module from its bracket.
- Install the New BCM: Mount your new, pre-programmed BCM into the bracket and securely plug in all the wiring harnesses. You should hear a click as they lock into place.
- Reconnect and Test: Re-install the dash panel, reconnect the negative battery terminal, and start the truck. Test all body functions like windows, locks, lights, and the radio.
Important Post-Installation Steps
Because this 2006-2007 Sierra 2500 BCM is programmed to your VIN, most functions will work immediately. However, for full system integration, be aware of these potential procedures:
- Airbag System Sync: If your airbag warning light is on after installation, a simple relearn procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ is required. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system and must be done with a professional-grade scan tool.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be needed to ensure your brake lights and traction control system function correctly. This is also performed with a capable scan tool.
Disclaimer: Vehicle systems can vary. We always recommend consulting a factory service manual or a certified technician if you are unsure about any step.
Will This Fit My Truck?
This BCM is guaranteed to be a direct-fit replacement for the following vehicles, provided the options match. Please verify your truck has a 6-speed automatic transmission (RPO code MW7) and is a Crew Cab.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to get this BCM programmed by a dealer?
No. We handle all the programming for you before we ship the part. Just provide your truck’s 17-digit VIN when you order, and it will arrive ready to install.
Where is the BCM located on my 2006 Silverado 2500?
The Body Control Module is located inside the cab, under the driver’s side dashboard, typically to the left of the steering column.
What is a VIN and why do you need it?
The VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) is a unique 17-digit code for your truck. We use it to load the exact factory software and settings for your specific vehicle’s options, ensuring perfect compatibility.
Will this fix my ‘Service 4WD’ message?
While a BCM can cause communication issues, a ‘Service 4WD’ message is more commonly related to the Transfer Case Control Module (TCCM), the encoder motor, or the dash switch. It’s best to diagnose that issue separately.
What if my airbag light comes on after I install it?
This is a normal security feature. The new BCM needs to be electronically ‘introduced’ to the airbag system (SDM). This requires a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key’ procedure using a professional scan tool, which any competent repair shop can perform.
Is there a core charge for this part?
No, there is no core charge. You can keep your original module without needing to return it.
