Is Your Tahoe or Silverado Plagued by Baffling Electrical Issues?
There’s nothing more frustrating than a vehicle that seems to have a mind of its own. One day the power windows work, the next they don’t. The A/C blower quits randomly on a hot day. A persistent airbag light stays on your dash, or worse, the security system prevents your truck from starting altogether. These aren’t just minor annoyances; they are symptoms of a failing Body Control Module (BCM), the electronic nerve center of your vehicle. This pre-programmed BCM is the definitive, dealership-free solution to restore order and reliability to your truck or SUV.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A faulty BCM can create a cascade of confusing problems. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is the likely fix you need:
- Intermittent or non-working power windows, door locks, or interior/exterior lights.
- HVAC blower motor cutting out or climate controls becoming unresponsive.
- An airbag warning light that won’t turn off, often with diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) like B1001.
- Erratic security system behavior, leading to a no-start condition.
- A variety of seemingly unrelated electrical glitches that come and go without a clear cause.
Instead of spending hundreds on diagnostic fees and dealership programming, our programmed 10383536 Tahoe BCM arrives ready for a straightforward, plug-and-play installation, getting you back on the road with confidence.

Expert Insight: The Diagnostic Time-Saver
“As a technician, I’ve seen customers chase BCM-related issues for weeks. They replace window motors, blower resistors, and light switches, only for the problem to persist. That’s because the BCM is the command center. A fault inside the module can send bad signals, making perfectly good components appear faulty. Replacing the BCM first, especially with a pre-programmed unit, often solves a dozen problems at once and saves hundreds in wasted parts and labor.”
This module is a direct replacement for a wide range of part numbers, including 15116066, 15136225, 15198116, and more, ensuring broad compatibility across the GM truck and SUV lineup. By choosing our programmed 10383536 Tahoe BCM, you’re not just buying a part; you’re investing in a permanent solution that brings back the dependability you expect from your vehicle.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Body Control Module (BCM) actually do?
The BCM is a computer that acts as the central hub for your vehicle’s body electronics. It reads inputs from switches (like your window switch or headlight knob) and controls the corresponding outputs (like the window motor or the headlights). It manages dozens of non-engine-related functions.
Why is VIN programming so important?
VIN programming loads your vehicle’s specific software and optionsโlike whether you have power-folding mirrors or a rear defrosterโonto the BCM. Without it, a new BCM won’t know how to operate your truck’s features correctly, or it may not work at all. Our pre-programming service saves you a mandatory and costly trip to the dealership.
Is this part difficult to install?
For most models, the installation is very straightforward. The BCM is typically located under the driver’s side dashboard and is held in by a few clips or bolts. You simply disconnect the battery, unplug the electrical connectors from the old module, remove it, and install the new one. The entire process often takes less than 15 minutes.
Will I need to perform any procedures after installation?
In some cases, yes. If your airbag light comes on after installation, a simple ‘Setup SDM Primary Key’ procedure may be needed with a professional scan tool. A brake pedal position relearn might also be required on certain models. These are standard sync procedures when replacing a major electronic module.
How do I know if this BCM will fit my vehicle?
This BCM fits a wide range of 2002-2007 GM trucks and SUVs, including the Tahoe, Suburban, Silverado, Sierra, Escalade, and Hummer H2. Please refer to the detailed fitment list on this page or match one of the interchangeable part numbers (like 10383536 or 15116066) to your original module to ensure compatibility.
Is there a core charge for my old part?
No, there is absolutely no core charge. You can keep or dispose of your old module without any penalty, saving you the time and expense of shipping it back.
