Tired of Chasing Electrical Gremlins in Your GM Truck?
As a mechanic with over two decades of experience, I’ve seen it all. Your 2003-2006 GMC Yukon XL 2500 starts acting possessed: the dash lights flicker, the radio cuts out, the power windows have a mind of their own, and you’re getting a cluster of bizarre, unrelated error codes. You’ve checked the grounds, you’ve tested the battery, but the problems persist. More often than not, the culprit is a failing Body Control Module (BCM)—the electronic nerve center for all your vehicle’s comfort and convenience features.
This isn’t just an annoyance; a faulty BCM can lead to a no-start condition or disable critical safety systems. Instead of spending a fortune at the dealership for diagnostics and programming, we offer a direct, reliable solution. This module, part number 15064149, is prepared for your vehicle using our expert Cloning Service, making the repair process as simple as possible.
Common Signs of a Failing BCM
- ✔ The heat or A/C blower motor works intermittently or not at all.
- ✔ Your power door locks or windows behave erratically or stop working.
- ✔ The security system acts up, causing a no-start condition or false alarms.
- ✔ The airbag warning light is on, often with a diagnostic trouble code like B1001.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights flicker, stay on, or won’t turn on.
- ✔ Communication errors with other modules on the vehicle network are present.
A Technician’s Notebook: The Silverado That Wouldn’t Behave
I remember a 2005 Silverado 2500 that came into the shop with a laundry list of complaints from the owner. The driver’s window wouldn’t go down, the radio would randomly shut off, and the HVAC controls were completely dead. The customer had already replaced the battery and the alternator with no success. After hooking up my scan tool, I saw a dozen communication codes. This is a classic sign of a BCM failure. Instead of a complex rewiring job, we used our cloning service to transfer the data from his old, faulty BCM to a replacement unit. In under an hour, the truck was back in the bay, fully assembled, and every single electronic gremlin was gone. It’s a powerful fix for a very frustrating problem.
Your 5-Minute BCM Installation Guide
Replacing the BCM is a job most DIYers can handle with basic tools. The module is typically located under the driver’s side dash, near the steering column. Our cloning service makes this a true plug-and-play repair.
- Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery before starting any electrical work.
- Locate the BCM: On most GM trucks and SUVs from this era, it’s a black box with several multi-pin connectors, found under the steering column.
- Remove the Old Module: Carefully unplug all the electrical connectors. They have locking tabs, so be gentle. Then, unbolt or unclip the module from its mounting bracket.
- Install the New Module: Seat your new, cloned BCM into the mounting bracket and securely plug in all the connectors. You’ll hear a click as they lock into place.
- Reconnect and Test: Reconnect the battery terminal. Start the vehicle and test all functions—lights, locks, windows, radio, and HVAC—to confirm the repair was successful.
Important Post-Installation Note: In some cases, particularly if the airbag light was on, a professional scan tool may be needed to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to sync the airbag system. A Brake Pedal Position Relearn may also be required on certain models. These are simple procedures for any qualified technician.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Cloning Service work?
You send us your original Body Control Module. We then perform a full data transfer to the replacement unit, copying all the vehicle-specific programming, key information, and settings. This makes the new module an exact electronic match to your old one, ensuring seamless integration without needing a trip to the dealer.
Do I need to return my old BCM? Is there a core charge?
There is no core charge. We use your original module for the cloning process and then send it back to you along with your new, ready-to-install BCM. You get to keep your original part.
What if the airbag light is on after installation?
If the airbag light appears, it means the BCM needs to be synchronized with the vehicle’s Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM). This requires a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure, which can be completed by a repair shop with a professional-grade scan tool.
Is this the same as an Engine Control Module (ECM/PCM)?
No. The BCM (Body Control Module) manages body electronics like lights, windows, and climate control. The ECM or PCM (Engine/Powertrain Control Module) manages the engine, transmission, and emissions systems. They are separate computers with different functions.
Will this fix a no-start problem?
It can. The BCM is often tied into the vehicle’s anti-theft or security system (like Passlock). If the BCM fails, it can prevent the vehicle from starting. Our cloning service transfers the security data, resolving these specific no-start issues.
