Are you battling frustrating electrical gremlins in your GM truck or van? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, a security system that acts up, or warning lights that won’t go away are common signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can cause a wide range of confusing and intermittent issues. This replacement BCM, part number 15167329, is the definitive solution to restore full functionality and reliability to your vehicle.
We make the repair process simple. This BCM is delivered to you pre-programmed with the latest GM software, specifically flashed to your vehicle’s unique Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This means no expensive trips to the dealership for programming. Simply provide us with your VIN after purchase, and we’ll handle the complex part, ensuring a straightforward installation process for you or your mechanic.
We had a 2005 Silverado 2500 in the shop that was driving the owner crazy. The dome light would stay on, the radio would randomly shut off, and the power locks worked only when they wanted to. The owner had already replaced the door lock actuators and the headlight switch with no success. After connecting our diagnostic tool, we saw multiple communication fault codes pointing to the BCM. Instead of continuing to replace individual components, we installed a VIN-programmed BCM. All the strange electrical issues vanished instantly. It’s a classic case of treating the disease, not just the symptoms.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional interior and exterior lights.
- ✔ Power windows, mirrors, or door locks working intermittently or not at all.
- ✔ The security or anti-theft system preventing the vehicle from starting.
- ✔ Instrument cluster warning lights (like the airbag light) illuminating for no reason.
- ✔ Inability for diagnostic scan tools to communicate with the module.
- ✔ Unexplained battery drain when the vehicle is off.

Important Post-Installation Information
While this module is programmed for your VIN, some vehicles may require minor relearn procedures after installation. These can typically be performed by a qualified technician with a professional-grade scan tool.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is on after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure is needed to sync the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: In some cases, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be necessary for proper brake light and traction control operation.
Disclaimer: Specific procedures can vary by vehicle. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a BCM and what does it do?
The Body Control Module (BCM) is a computer in your vehicle that controls and monitors various electronic accessories, such as power windows, locks, lights, wipers, and the security system. It acts as a central hub for these functions.
Do I need to program this BCM?
No. We pre-program the module to your vehicle’s VIN before we ship it to you. This makes the installation process much simpler, as it’s ready to be installed right out of the box.
What information do you need from me?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to provide us with your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This is essential for us to program the BCM correctly for your specific vehicle’s options.
My airbag light is on after installation. What should I do?
This is a common occurrence. The new BCM needs to be electronically introduced to the airbag system (SDM). A technician with a capable scan tool will need to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to resolve this.
Is there a core charge for my old BCM?
No, there is no core charge for this part. You can keep your original module without needing to send it back.
