Restore Control Over Your Vehicle’s Electronics
Are you experiencing frustrating electrical issues in your GM truck or van? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, a security system that acts up, or an engine that won’t start can often be traced back to a single component: the Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics. When it fails, it can create a cascade of confusing and unpredictable problems. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it can compromise your vehicle’s safety and reliability.
We offer a straightforward and effective solution. This Body Control Module is a direct-fit replacement for a wide range of 2003-2007 GM vehicles, including the Silverado, Sierra, Express, Savana, and SSR. To make your repair as simple as possible, we program the module to your vehicle’s specific VIN before shipping. This eliminates the need for expensive dealership programming, saving you time and money and getting you back on the road faster.
Common Symptoms of a Failing GM BCM
- ✔ Intermittent or non-functional power windows, door locks, or interior lights.
- ✔ The security or anti-theft light stays on, preventing the engine from starting.
- ✔ Erratic or non-working dashboard gauges and warning lights.
- ✔ Headlights, taillights, or turn signals functioning incorrectly.
- ✔ Problems with the radio or climate control systems.
- ✔ Unexplained battery drain when the vehicle is off.

Important Post-Installation Information
While our VIN programming handles the majority of the setup, some vehicles may require additional steps after installation. Please be aware of the following:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after you install the BCM, a procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ must be performed. This requires a professional-grade scan tool to sync the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On certain models, a brake pedal position sensor relearn may be necessary to ensure correct brake light operation and to satisfy the traction control system.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for vehicle-specific procedures.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a BCM and what does it do?
The Body Control Module (BCM) is a computer in your vehicle that manages and controls various electronic accessories, such as power windows, locks, lights, security systems, and interior gauges. It acts as the central hub for these functions.
Is this BCM ready to install when I receive it?
Yes, this BCM is programmed to your vehicle’s VIN before it is shipped. This makes the installation process much simpler, though some vehicles may require minor additional relearn procedures for systems like the airbags or brake sensor after installation.
How do I provide my VIN for programming?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship the part until we receive your VIN to perform the necessary programming.
What if my airbag light turns on after installation?
This is a known possibility. It means the new BCM needs to be electronically introduced to the vehicle’s airbag system (SDM). A technician with a high-level diagnostic tool will need to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to resolve it.
Do I have to return my old BCM?
No, there is no core charge for this part. You can keep your original module.
