Are you battling frustrating electrical problems in your GM truck or SUV? Issues like erratic power windows, flickering lights, a malfunctioning security system, or accessories that work one minute and not the next are often caused by a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM acts as the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics. When it fails, it can create a cascade of confusing and unpredictable symptoms. This replacement BCM, part number 15081796, is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s functionality and peace of mind.
This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a complete, ready-to-install solution. We pre-program the module to your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) before it ships. This critical step ensures seamless integration with your vehicle’s existing systems, eliminating the need for an expensive trip to the dealership for programming. Simply provide your VIN after purchase, and we’ll handle the rest, loading it with the latest software updates from GM for optimal performance.

Important Post-Installation Information
While this module is designed for straightforward installation, some vehicles may require additional steps to sync all systems. Please be aware of the following potential procedures:
- Airbag System Sync: If your airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a technician will need to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure with a professional-grade scan tool. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be needed to ensure correct brake light operation and to satisfy the traction control system.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for vehicle-specific instructions.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Body Control Module (BCM) do?
The BCM is a computer that manages and controls many of your vehicle’s non-engine related functions, such as power windows, locks, lights, wipers, security system, and interior accessories.
How do I provide my VIN for programming?
After you complete your purchase, you will receive instructions on how to send us your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. We cannot ship your order until we receive and validate your VIN.
Is this part difficult to install?
The physical installation is typically straightforward, involving unplugging the old module and plugging in the new one. It’s usually located under the steering column or in the center dash area. The main benefit of our service is that the complex software programming is already done for you.
Will this fix my ‘Service 4WD’ light?
While a failing BCM can cause a variety of issues, a ‘Service 4WD’ message is more often related to the Transfer Case Control Module (TCCM) or a sensor in the 4×4 system. It’s important to have the vehicle properly diagnosed to ensure you are ordering the correct part.
What if my original part number isn’t listed?
This module replaces several part numbers. Please check the extensive fitment list on this page or contact us with your VIN and original part number to confirm compatibility before ordering.
