2000 Silverado Body Control Module 9385236 Programmed to Your VIN

If you’re dealing with bizarre electrical issues in your 2000 Chevy Silverado or other GM truck, you’ve come to the right place. As a technician with over two decades of experience, I’ve seen firsthand how a failing Body Control Module (BCM) can turn a reliable truck into a source of constant frustration. One minute your power locks don’t work, the next your interior lights are staying on, or worse, the security light is flashing and the engine won’t start. The BCM is the central nervous system for these functions, and when it goes, chaos ensues.

This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a complete solution. We take a genuine GM-spec Body Control Module and flash it with the very latest official software, programmed specifically to your truck’s Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This means it arrives at your door ready for installation, saving you a costly trip to the dealership and their programming fees. You get a reliable fix that restores your truck’s electronics to perfect working order.

Is Your Truck Showing These Symptoms?

A faulty BCM can cause a wide range of confusing issues. Here are the most common signs I’ve diagnosed in my shop:

• ✔ Erratic power windows or door locks that work intermittently or not at all.
• ✔ Interior or exterior lights flickering, staying on, or not turning on.
• ✔ The security or anti-theft system light is on, possibly causing a no-start condition.
• ✔ The horn sounding off unexpectedly or not working when pressed.
• ✔ Dashboard warning lights appearing without a clear cause.
• ✔ Diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) related to communication loss, such as U1000 or U1016.

A Straightforward Guide to Installation

Installing your new 2000 Silverado Body Control Module is a manageable job for a confident DIYer. In most full-size trucks, you’ll find it located under the driver’s side of the dashboard. Here’s a general guide:

1. Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your truck’s battery before working on any electronic components.
2. Locate the BCM: On most Silverados, Sierras, and SUVs, it’s mounted to a bracket to the left of the steering column. For S10/Blazer models, it’s often behind the center dash/glove box area.
3. Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors. They have locking tabs that need to be depressed. Once disconnected, unbolt the module from its mounting bracket.
4. Install the New Module: Bolt the new, pre-programmed BCM into place and securely plug in all the electrical connectors. You should hear a ‘click’ as they lock.
5. Reconnect and Test: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Turn the key to the ‘On’ position and test all functions: lights, locks, windows, radio, etc.

Important Post-Installation Notes

Because this module is central to many systems, a couple of follow-up procedures might be necessary:

• Airbag System Sync: If your airbag warning light is on after installation, a professional scan tool is needed to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag module.
• Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor relearn may be required to ensure your brake lights and traction control system function correctly.

Disclaimer: Vehicle systems vary. Always have a factory service manual for your specific model on hand for detailed instructions and torque specs.
