Are you battling frustrating electrical gremlins in your GMC Envoy, Chevy Trailblazer, or other GM SUV? Issues like power windows that won’t budge, door locks with a mind of their own, erratic interior lighting, or a security system that prevents your truck from starting are often traced back to a single, critical component: the Body Control Module (BCM). This module acts as the central nervous system for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can cause a cascade of confusing and seemingly unrelated problems. Stop chasing symptoms and address the root cause with our direct-fit, VIN-programmed BCM.
This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a complete solution. We take the hassle and high cost of dealer service out of the equation. Simply provide us with your vehicle’s VIN during checkout, and our technicians will program the BCM with the latest GM software updates specific to your truck. This ensures seamless integration and optimal performance right out of the box, restoring the functions you rely on every day. This module is a reliable fix for a wide range of GMT360 platform vehicles, including the Trailblazer, Bravada, Rainier, Ascender, and Saab 9-7X.
We had a 2004 Trailblazer come in that was driving the owner crazy. The radio would turn on and off, the dome light would flicker, and the driver’s side power window worked only when it wanted to. The owner had already replaced the window switch and the radio, with no luck. After a quick scan, we saw multiple communication codes pointing to the BCM. Instead of just swapping the part, which would have required a tow to the dealer for programming, we installed one of our pre-programmed units. In under an hour, all the strange electrical issues were gone. It’s a classic case where a single faulty module was mimicking a dozen different problems, and a pre-programmed part saved the customer hundreds in diagnostic time and dealer fees.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Power windows, door locks, or mirrors operating intermittently or not at all.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights flickering, staying on, or not turning on.
- ✔ The security system or anti-theft light flashing, causing a no-start condition.
- ✔ Erratic behavior from the radio, climate control, or instrument cluster gauges.
- ✔ False warning lights appearing on the dashboard (e.g., ‘Service 4WD’).
- ✔ The remote keyless entry (fob) stops working.
- ✔ Communication errors with diagnostic scan tools.

This eliminates the need for expensive dealership-specific tools and labor, getting you back on the road faster and for less money. This part is a direct replacement for multiple part numbers, including 15122670, 15065293, 15114669, 15191621, and 9352135, guaranteeing wide compatibility.
Installation and Post-Install Notes
Installation is straightforward for those with mechanical experience. The BCM is typically located on or near the interior fuse box. After swapping the module, some vehicles may require additional steps to fully sync all systems. If your airbag warning light illuminates, a professional scan tool is needed to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. Additionally, a ‘Brake Pedal Position Relearn’ may be necessary to ensure proper brake light and traction control function. These procedures are common when replacing a central control module. Best of all, there is no core charge, so you can keep your original module without the hassle of a return.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Body Control Module (BCM) do?
The BCM is a computer that manages and controls many of your vehicle’s non-engine related electronic functions. This includes power windows, door locks, interior and exterior lighting, the security system, wipers, and various other comfort and convenience features.
Is this BCM truly plug-and-play?
Because we program it to your vehicle’s specific VIN, it is as close to plug-and-play as possible. It will function immediately upon installation. However, as noted, some vehicles may require a simple relearn procedure for the airbag or brake pedal position sensor to clear warning lights and fully sync the systems.
Where is the BCM located on my 2003 GMC Envoy?
On most GMT360 platform vehicles like the Envoy and Trailblazer, the BCM is integrated with the interior fuse panel, typically located under the rear seat on the driver’s side. Always consult a service manual for your specific model to confirm the exact location before beginning work.
What happens if I don’t provide my VIN?
Providing your VIN is mandatory for this part. Without it, we cannot program the module to match your vehicle’s specific options and security protocols. An unprogrammed BCM will not function correctly and will likely prevent your vehicle from starting.
My airbag light is on after installing the new BCM. What do I do?
This is a common occurrence. The new BCM needs to be electronically ‘introduced’ to the airbag system’s computer (SDM). A mechanic with a professional-grade bidirectional scan tool will need to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to sync the modules and turn off the light.
Do I need to send my old part back?
No, there is no core charge for this BCM. You can keep your original module, which can be helpful for reference or if you ever decide to revert to the original part for any reason.
