Is your Chevrolet Express van acting possessed? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, a security system that won’t cooperate, or even a no-start condition can all point to a failing Body Control Module (BCM). For a work vehicle like the Express 1500, downtime isn’t just an inconvenience—it’s lost income.

Expert Insight: Your Van’s Central Command
Think of the BCM as the central nervous system for your van’s body electronics. It doesn’t control the engine, but it manages almost everything else you interact with from the driver’s seat—from the headlights and wipers to the radio and door chimes. When it fails, signals get crossed, leading to the bizarre and seemingly unrelated symptoms that make diagnosis so tricky. By replacing the entire 2008-2012 Express 1500 Body Control Module with a correctly programmed unit, you’re not just fixing one problem; you’re restoring the entire communication network to factory specifications.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the VIN programming process work?
It’s simple. After you complete your purchase, you will need to provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. Our technicians will use this information to load the correct GM software and vehicle-specific settings onto the BCM before it ships. This ensures it communicates perfectly with the other modules in your van.
Is this a difficult part to install?
For someone with moderate mechanical experience, the installation is very manageable. The BCM is typically located in the center dash area on the Express van. The main steps involve disconnecting the battery, accessing the module, swapping the electrical connectors, and securing the new unit. Since it’s pre-programmed, no special computer tools are needed for the initial setup.
Will any other procedures be needed after installation?
In some cases, yes. If your airbag warning light is on after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure may be needed using a professional scan tool. A Brake Pedal Position relearn might also be necessary. These are standard procedures for this type of repair.
Is this the correct part for my vehicle?
This 2008-2012 Express 1500 Body Control Module is a direct replacement for many part numbers, including 20864767, 15921352, 25892622, and many others listed in the description. Please check the fitment list to confirm it matches your specific make, model, and year.
Do I need to send my old BCM back?
No. We do not require you to return your original module. There is no core charge associated with this purchase, saving you time and return shipping costs.
