Is Your GM Truck or SUV Plagued with Electrical Gremlins?
If your Silverado, Sierra, Tahoe, or other GM vehicle is experiencing bizarre electrical issues like flickering lights, a dead HVAC system, or power windows with a mind of their own, a failing Body Control Module (BCM) is the most likely culprit. The BCM is the central nervous system for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can cause a cascade of frustrating and difficult-to-diagnose problems. This genuine GM Body Control Module, interchangeable with part number 25835966, is the definitive solution to restore full functionality and reliability to your vehicle.
Forget about expensive dealership visits and the hassle of programming. We handle the complex part for you. Simply provide your vehicle’s VIN during checkout, and we will program the module with the latest GM software specific to your truck or SUV. This ensures a true plug-and-play installation, getting you back on the road quickly and confidently.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2009 Sierra 2500 in the shop that was driving its owner crazy. The battery would die overnight, the radio would randomly turn off, and the security light was always on. He had already replaced the battery and alternator twice. After hooking up the scanner, we saw a dozen communication codes pointing everywhere and nowhere. The real issue? A faulty BCM was creating a parasitic draw. We checked the main ground points to be sure, then installed one of our VIN-programmed modules. The problems vanished instantly. It’s a classic case where chasing symptoms costs more than fixing the root cause.
Common Symptoms of a Failing GM BCM
- ✔ Power windows, door locks, or mirrors operating intermittently or not at all.
- ✔ HVAC and climate control functions are unresponsive or behave erratically.
- ✔ The vehicle’s security system malfunctions, preventing the engine from starting.
- ✔ An active airbag warning light, often with a DTC B1001 code stored.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights (headlights, taillights, dome lights) staying on or not working.
- ✔ Unexplained battery drain or parasitic draw that kills the battery overnight.
- ✔ False warnings on the driver information center (DIC).

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to program this BCM?
No. This Body Control Module comes pre-programmed to your vehicle’s specific VIN. This eliminates the need for expensive scan tools or a trip to the dealership for programming. It’s ready for installation right out of the box.
Where is the BCM located on my 2008 Silverado?
On most 2007-2013 GM trucks and SUVs, including the Silverado, Sierra, and Tahoe, the BCM is located under the driver’s side dashboard, typically to the left of the steering column.
My airbag light is on after installing the new BCM. What should I do?
This is a common security feature. You will need a professional-grade scan tool to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system’s Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM) and will turn off the light.
Is this part compatible with other part numbers?
Yes, this module is a direct replacement for a wide range of part numbers, including 25844480, 25835966, 15943678, 20939137, 22860591, and many others listed in the product details.
What if this doesn’t fix my electrical problems?
While the BCM is a very common point of failure, electrical issues can also stem from poor grounds, damaged wiring, or other faulty components. Always ensure your vehicle’s battery connections and primary ground straps are clean and tight before and after installation.
