Solve Your SUV’s Electrical Mysteries
Are you chasing electrical gremlins in your 2003-2006 GMC Yukon? One minute the power windows work, the next they don’t. The HVAC blower motor has a mind of its own, and a pesky airbag light refuses to go away. These frustrating, seemingly unrelated issues often point to one central culprit: a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the electronic brain for your vehicle’s comfort and security features. When it malfunctions, it can create a cascade of problems that are a headache for owners and technicians alike. This replacement module, part number 15064149, is the definitive solution, restored to full function through our expert cloning service.
A Technician’s Notebook: The Case of the Haunted Yukon
I’ll never forget a 2005 Yukon XL that rolled into my bay. The owner was at his wit’s end. He had a list: the radio would cut out, the driver’s side door lock wouldn’t respond to the fob, the security light was on, and the A/C was intermittent. He’d already replaced the battery and checked fuses. After connecting my scan tool, I saw a mess of communication codes (U-codes) and a specific BCM fault, B1001. In my 20+ years, I’ve seen this exact pattern on hundreds of these GM trucks. It’s almost never multiple separate failures; it’s the BCM’s internal logic failing. We performed our cloning service, and a simple 5-minute swap had every single issue resolved. It’s a satisfying fix for a deeply frustrating problem.
How Our BCM Cloning Service Works
Forget about costly dealership appointments and programming fees. Our unique cloning service makes this repair straightforward. Here’s the process: you send us your original, faulty BCM. We then extract the vehicle-specific data—including the VIN and operational parameters—and transfer it directly onto this replacement module. The result? You receive a true plug-and-play unit that is 100% matched to your vehicle’s configuration. Your original module is always returned to you with the replacement. This process ensures seamless integration with your vehicle’s other systems, like the engine computer and airbag module, right out of the box.
Is Your Yukon Exhibiting These Electrical Glitches?
A failing BCM can manifest in many ways. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is the likely solution for your 2003-2006 Yukon Body Control Module problem:
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional power windows, door locks, or interior lights.
- ✔ HVAC system problems, such as the blower motor not working or being stuck on one speed.
- ✔ The security or anti-theft light is illuminated, potentially causing a no-start condition.
- ✔ An active airbag warning light, often accompanied by Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) B1001.
- ✔ Unpredictable behavior from windshield wipers or exterior lighting.
- ✔ A cluster of seemingly random communication or body-related DTCs.
Your 5-Minute BCM Swap Guide
Installing your newly cloned 2003-2006 Yukon Body Control Module is a job most DIYers can complete in their driveway. It requires no special tools and typically takes less than five minutes.
- Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery to prevent electrical shorts and reset the system.
- Locate the BCM: On most 2003-2006 Yukon models, the BCM is located under the driver’s side dashboard, just to the left of the steering column. It’s a black plastic box with several large multi-pin connectors.
- Swap the Module: Carefully release the locking tabs on the electrical connectors and unplug them from the old BCM. Remove any mounting screws or clips holding the module in place. Position the new module and securely reconnect all electrical harnesses.
- Power Up: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Start the vehicle and test all functions—lights, locks, windows, wipers, and HVAC—to confirm the repair was successful.
Important Post-Installation Information
While our cloning service ensures the BCM is ready for your vehicle, certain security and safety systems may require a handshake procedure after installation. Please be aware of the following:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag light remains 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 system’s Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM).
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor relearn may be required to ensure correct brake light operation and stability control function.
Disclaimer: Vehicle systems vary. We always recommend consulting a factory service manual or a certified technician if you are unsure about any step.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is a BCM cloning service?
Cloning is a process where we transfer the exact VIN-specific software and security data from your original BCM to the replacement unit. This makes the new module a perfect electronic match for your vehicle, eliminating the need for expensive dealership programming.
Will I have to take my Yukon to the dealer after installation?
No. Our cloning service makes this a true plug-and-play part. In the rare case an airbag light persists, a technician with an advanced scan tool can perform the sync procedure, but a dealership visit is not required for the BCM to function.
Is there a core charge or do I need to send my old part back?
You must send your original module to us for the cloning service. However, there is no separate core charge, and we always return your original module to you along with the newly programmed replacement.
What if my original BCM is completely dead or missing?
If your BCM is non-communicative or lost, we may not be able to perform the cloning service. Please contact our support team with your vehicle’s VIN before ordering to discuss alternative programming options.
Where is the BCM located on a 2004 GMC Yukon?
The BCM is typically found under the driver-side dashboard, near the steering column. It is a black module with multiple large electrical connectors plugged into it.
