Are you battling frustrating electrical problems in your GM truck or van? Issues like malfunctioning power windows, erratic lights, or a dead instrument cluster often point to a single culprit: a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can cause a cascade of confusing and annoying symptoms. This replacement BCM, part number 15167329, is the definitive solution to restore full functionality and peace of mind.
We take the guesswork and hassle out of the repair process. Unlike a generic part from a salvage yard, each module we ship is professionally programmed with the latest GM software updates, specifically matched to your vehicle’s VIN. This ensures a seamless installation and proper communication between all your vehicle’s systems. Simply provide your VIN after purchase, and we’ll handle the programming before it even leaves our facility.

Installation and Post-Install Notes
Installation is straightforward for those with basic mechanical skills. The BCM is typically located under the steering column in pickups or in the center dash area on vans. After installing the programmed module, some vehicles may require additional steps. If your airbag warning light illuminates, a professional scan tool is needed to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. Additionally, a ‘Brake Pedal Position Relearn’ may be necessary on some models to ensure proper brake light and stability control function. Always consult a factory service manual for your specific vehicle.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a BCM and what does it do?
The Body Control Module (BCM) is a computer in your vehicle that manages and controls various electronic accessories, such as power windows, locks, lights, wipers, the security system, and the instrument panel.
How do I know if my BCM is the problem?
Common signs of a failing BCM include multiple, unrelated electrical issues happening at once. If your windows, locks, and lights are all acting up, the BCM is a likely suspect. A diagnostic scan by a professional can confirm the failure.
Why do you need my VIN?
Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) allows us to program the BCM with the specific software and settings for your truck’s exact options and features. This ensures a plug-and-play installation without needing a trip to the dealer.
Is this part difficult to install?
For most DIY mechanics, the installation is straightforward. The BCM is usually accessible under the driver’s side dashboard. The most important part is that our programming saves you the complex step of initializing the module with a dealer scan tool.
What if my airbag light is on after I install it?
This can happen occasionally. It means the new BCM needs to be electronically ‘introduced’ to the airbag system’s computer (SDM). This requires a professional scan tool to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to sync the modules.
Is there a core charge for this part?
No, there is no core charge. You can keep your old BCM.
