Restore Full Electrical Function to Your GM Truck or Van
Are you battling frustrating electrical gremlins in your 2003-2007 GM vehicle? Issues like flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows and locks, or a security system that acts up on its own are often signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it starts to fail, it can cause a wide range of confusing and intermittent problems. This replacement GM Body Control Module is the reliable, straightforward solution to get your vehicle back to 100%.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Erratic or non-working interior and exterior lights.
- ✔ Power windows, mirrors, or door locks operating intermittently or not at all.
- ✔ The security system or alarm randomly activating.
- ✔ The vehicle failing to start, accompanied by a security light on the dash.
- ✔ Inaccurate or dead gauges on the instrument cluster.
- ✔ Horn not working or sounding unexpectedly.
Plug-and-Play Solution with VIN Programming
Don’t risk installing a used module with incorrect software or options. We take the guesswork out of the repair. Simply provide your vehicle’s VIN during checkout, and our technicians will program this GM Body Control Module with the latest software updates direct from GM. This ensures it matches your vehicle’s specific configuration for a seamless installation process. While the unit is programmed to work out of the box, some vehicles may require simple post-installation procedures.
Post-Installation Requirements
After installing your new BCM, a couple of relearn procedures may be necessary to ensure all systems communicate correctly:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a technician will need to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure with a professional scan tool. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: To ensure correct brake light and traction control operation, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration might be required on certain models.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does this GM Body Control Module do?
The BCM acts as the brain for your vehicle’s electronic accessories. It controls functions like power windows, locks, interior/exterior lights, the security system, and communicates with other modules in your vehicle.
Is this BCM ready to install out of the box?
Yes, it comes pre-programmed to your vehicle’s VIN for a straightforward installation. However, depending on your specific model, you may need a technician to perform an ‘Airbag System Sync’ or ‘Brake Pedal Position Relearn’ if certain warning lights appear.
How do I provide my VIN for programming?
After you complete your purchase, you will receive instructions on how to send us your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. We cannot ship the module until we receive and program it with your VIN.
What if the airbag light is on after I install the BCM?
This is a common occurrence. It means the new BCM needs to be electronically introduced to the airbag system. A qualified mechanic with a high-level scan tool can perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to resolve this.
Do I need to return my old, broken BCM?
No. This purchase requires no core charge. You can keep your original module.
