Tired of Chasing Electrical Gremlins in Your GMC Yukon?
If you’re dealing with a 2003-2006 GMC Yukon that seems to have a mind of its own—flickering lights, a dead A/C blower, power windows that won’t budge, or a security light that prevents it from starting—you’ve likely met the common culprit: a failing Body Control Module (BCM). As a mechanic with over two decades of experience, I’ve seen these exact issues on hundreds of GM trucks and SUVs. The BCM is the nerve center for your vehicle’s comfort and security features, and when it goes, it can create a cascade of frustrating and difficult-to-diagnose problems.
This isn’t just another part; it’s the definitive solution. We offer a genuine OEM-quality Body Control Module, interchangeable with part number 15064149, that arrives at your door pre-programmed to your Yukon’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This means no expensive trips to the dealership for programming. You get a reliable, plug-and-play fix that restores your vehicle’s electronics to factory-fresh condition.
A Technician’s Notebook: The Intermittent No-Start Yukon
A customer brought in their 2005 GMC Yukon XL, completely frustrated. The vehicle would randomly refuse to start, showing only the security light. They had already replaced the battery and checked the ignition switch. In the shop, we noticed other oddities: the radio clock would reset, and the driver’s side power window worked only when it wanted to. Instead of throwing more parts at it, we scanned the BCM and found multiple communication loss codes. A quick check of the main BCM connector and grounds confirmed they were solid. The root cause was internal failure within the original module. After installing one of our VIN-programmed BCMs, every single issue was resolved. The customer saved hundreds compared to the dealership quote and drove away with a truck that was finally dependable again.
Is Your Yukon Exhibiting These Electrical Gremlins?
- ✔ Intermittent or non-functional HVAC controls, especially the blower motor.
- ✔ The dreaded airbag warning light is on, often with a B1001 diagnostic trouble code.
- ✔ Power accessories like windows, door locks, or interior/exterior lights work sporadically or not at all.
- ✔ Your security system acts up, causing a no-start condition where the engine cranks but won’t fire.
- ✔ A collection of seemingly unrelated electrical DTCs that leave you scratching your head.
Your 5-Minute BCM Installation Guide
Getting your Yukon back to normal is easier than you think. The BCM is typically located under the driver’s side dashboard, near the steering column. The physical swap takes just a few minutes.
- Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery before starting any electrical work.
- Locate the BCM: Find the module under the dash. It will have several large multi-pin connectors attached to it.
- Swap the Module: Carefully unplug the connectors and remove the old BCM. It’s usually held in by simple clips or a couple of small bolts. Install your new, pre-programmed module in its place and reconnect all plugs securely.
- Reconnect Power: Reattach the negative battery terminal.
- Final System Checks: While the module is plug-and-play, two final steps are often required for full system harmony. You may need a bi-directional scan tool to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to clear the airbag light and a ‘Brake Pedal Position Sensor Calibration’ to ensure proper brake light and cruise control function.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to take my truck to the dealership for programming?
Absolutely not. We handle the programming for you before we ship. Just provide your vehicle’s VIN during checkout, and the module will arrive ready for installation, saving you time and money.
Will this fix my airbag light that’s on?
If the airbag light is caused by a BCM communication fault (like DTC B1001), this module will resolve the root cause. However, to turn the light off, you must perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure with a compatible scan tool after installation.
Is the installation difficult for a DIYer?
The physical replacement is very straightforward and requires only basic tools. It’s typically held in by clips or a few screws under the dashboard. The most technical part is performing the post-installation electronic procedures if needed.
What is the brake pedal recalibration?
After a new BCM is installed, the system may need to relearn the position of the brake pedal sensor. This ensures your brake lights, cruise control, and stability control systems function correctly. This procedure is done with a quality bi-directional scan tool.
My original part number is 15116066, will this part 15064149 work?
Yes, this module is part of a large family of interchangeable GM BCMs. Part number 15064149 is a fully compatible replacement for 15116066 and many others within the specified vehicle applications.
