Are you battling persistent and frustrating electrical issues in your 2003-2006 GMC Yukon XL 1500? Symptoms like flickering lights, unresponsive power windows, erratic HVAC controls, or a sudden no-start condition often point to a single culprit: a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it malfunctions, it can cause a cascade of problems. This genuine OEM-quality Body Control Module, part number 15136225, is the definitive solution, arriving pre-programmed to your vehicle’s VIN for a seamless, plug-and-play installation.
Is Your Yukon XL Showing Signs of a Failing BCM?
- ✔ Unresponsive or malfunctioning power windows, door locks, or mirrors.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights that flicker, stay on, or don’t work at all.

- ✔ An active security light on the dash, often leading to a no-start or crank-no-start condition.
- ✔ The airbag warning light is illuminated, sometimes with diagnostic trouble code (DTC) B1001.
- ✔ Malfunctioning windshield wipers or washers.
- ✔ A cluster of seemingly unrelated electrical issues that defy simple explanation.

Installation and Post-Install Considerations
Installation is straightforward. The BCM is typically located under the driver’s side dashboard, near the steering column. Disconnecting the battery before you begin is recommended. Once installed, most vehicles will operate perfectly. However, please note the following potential procedures:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag light remains on after installation, a technician will need to perform a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure with a professional scan tool.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor relearn may be required to ensure proper brake light and traction control operation.
There is no core charge for this part, so you can keep your original module without any hassle or extra cost. This module is also a direct replacement for a wide range of part numbers, including 15116066, 10383536, 15136877, and more, making it a versatile fix for many GM trucks and SUVs from this era.
