Restore Full Electrical Function to Your Chevrolet Suburban
Are you chasing down bizarre electrical issues in your 2003-2006 Suburban 1500? From flickering lights and a malfunctioning radio to power windows with a mind of their own, a failing Body Control Module (BCM) is often the hidden culprit.

This replacement module, part number 15137395, is the definitive solution to get your truck’s accessories working reliably again.
We make this repair simple with our professional Cloning Service. You send us your original BCM, and we transfer all the critical vehicle-specific data to this replacement unit. The module arrives back at your door ready for immediate installation, completely bypassing the need for expensive dealership programming. This service ensures your vehicle accepts the new module seamlessly, retaining all its original settings and features.
From the Diagnostic Bay: The BCM Ghost Hunt
I once had a 2005 Suburban 1500 in the shop that was a real head-scratcher. The owner had already replaced the battery and alternator, but the truck would still have a dead battery every few days. The dome lights would stay on, the security light flashed randomly, and the A/C blower was intermittent. These ‘ghosts in the machine’ weren’t separate failures; they were all symptoms pointing to one component. After confirming all grounds were solid, we pinpointed the BCM. A failing internal relay was keeping circuits active after shutdown, draining the battery. Installing a cloned 2003-2006 Suburban 1500 BCM solved every single issue at once, saving the customer from any more wasted time and money on incorrect diagnoses.
Is Your Suburban Showing These Electrical Gremlins?
A failing BCM can manifest in numerous ways. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is the likely solution.
- ✔ Intermittent or non-working power windows, door locks, or interior lights.
- ✔ HVAC controls are unresponsive, or the blower motor works sporadically.
- ✔ The security system acts up, causing a no-start condition or the alarm to go off unexpectedly.
- ✔ Your instrument cluster displays an airbag warning light, often with a DTC like B1001 (Option Configuration Error).
- ✔ Unexplained battery drain that leaves you stranded.
- ✔ Headlights, taillights, or wipers behaving erratically.
Your Straightforward 5-Minute Installation Guide
Getting your Suburban back to normal is easier than you think. No complex procedures or special tools are required for the physical swap.
- Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery before starting any electrical work.
- Locate the BCM: On most 2003-2006 Suburbans, the BCM is located under the driver-side dashboard, just below the steering column. It’s a black box with several large multi-pin connectors.
- Swap the Module: Carefully unplug the color-coded connectors from your old BCM. They have locking tabs, so press them firmly to release. Plug them into the corresponding ports on your new, cloned module.
- Reconnect and Test: Reconnect the battery terminal. Start your vehicle and test all the functions: windows, locks, lights, wipers, and HVAC system to confirm the repair.
- Post-Installation Checks: In some cases, an ‘Airbag System Sync’ or ‘Brake Pedal Position Relearn’ may be needed if related warning lights appear. This requires a professional scan tool to complete but is not always necessary.
