Simple Installation Process:

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Body Control Module (BCM) do?
The BCM is a computer that manages many of your vehicle’s non-engine related electronic functions, such as power windows, locks, lights, wipers, security system, and interior accessories.
What is VIN programming and why is it essential?
VIN programming loads your vehicle’s specific software and options onto the BCM. Without it, the module won’t communicate correctly with other computers in your truck, leading to system malfunctions. We handle this for you before shipping.
Is this BCM difficult to install?
The physical installation is typically simple, involving unplugging the old module (usually located under the driver’s side dash) and plugging in the new one. However, as noted, some vehicles may require a simple relearn procedure with a scan tool for the airbag or brake systems.
Will this fix my specific electrical problem?
This BCM will resolve issues directly caused by a faulty module. While the symptoms listed are common indicators, we always recommend proper vehicle diagnostics to confirm the BCM is the root cause before ordering.
Do I need to send my original BCM back?
No. There is no core charge for this part. You can keep your original module.
What information do you need from me?
After you place your order, you must provide us with your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) so we can program the module specifically for your truck.
