Are you battling frustrating electrical gremlins in your 1998 GM truck or SUV? Flickering lights, a malfunctioning security system, erratic power windows, or dashboard warning lights that won’t turn off are classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM).

This professionally programmed BCM is the definitive, hassle-free solution to get your truck back to perfect working order.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I provide my VIN number?
After you complete your purchase, simply send us a message with your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship your part until we receive this information, as the programming is specific to your truck.
Is this BCM difficult to install?
The physical installation is straightforward for someone with basic mechanical skills. On the 1998 Isuzu Hombre, it’s located on the left-hand side of the dash. On S10, Blazer, and other models, it’s typically in the center dash area. After installation, some vehicles may require a simple relearn procedure as outlined in our included instructions.
What if my airbag light comes on after installation?
This is a known possibility. If the airbag light illuminates, a procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ needs to be performed with a professional scan tool. This syncs the new BCM with your vehicle’s airbag system. Most local repair shops can perform this service quickly.
Will this fix my specific electrical problem?
This module is the solution for the vast majority of electrical issues described above. A faulty 1998 Isuzu Hombre BCM is a very common point of failure on these vehicles. By replacing it with our programmed unit, you are addressing the root cause of these problems.
Do I need to do anything with my brakes after installing?
In some cases, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be necessary to ensure your brake lights and traction control system (if equipped) function correctly. This is a simple procedure that a qualified technician can perform if needed.
