Are you chasing down bizarre electrical problems in your GMC Sierra Denali? One minute the power windows work, the next they don’t. The HVAC blower motor has a mind of its own, or worse, your truck randomly refuses to start. These aren’t just annoyances; they’re classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). As the central command for your truck’s body electronics, a faulty BCM can cause a cascade of frustrating and hard-to-diagnose issues. This is where we come in.
This module, part number 15136877, is the definitive solution for your 2003-2007 Sierra Denali BCM problems. We don’t just sell you a part; we provide a complete, reliable repair through our expert cloning service. By transferring the exact data from your original module to this replacement unit, we ensure that every factory option and security setting your truck came with is perfectly preserved. This eliminates the need for expensive dealership programming and avoids the common compatibility headaches that come with generic modules. Get your truck back to operating the way it was meant to, with all systems functioning seamlessly.
Case Study: A Tricky Diagnosis
A 2006 Sierra Denali came into a partner shop with a complaint that was driving the owner crazy: intermittent no-start and a flickering security light. They had already replaced the battery and checked the ignition switch. Scans showed a loss of communication code (U0100) and a BCM internal failure code (B1001). The real issue was voltage spikes from a worn alternator slowly damaging the BCM’s internal circuits over time. By replacing the alternator and installing one of our cloned BCMs, we restored all functions perfectly. The cloning process was critical because it preserved the truck’s specific key and security data, avoiding a complex security relearn procedure.
Is Your Sierra Denali Showing These Telltale Signs?
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional power windows, door locks, or interior lights.
- ✔ The security system acts up, causing a no-start condition or the alarm to go off randomly.
- ✔ HVAC controls are unresponsive, or the blower motor speed is inconsistent.
- ✔ The airbag warning light is illuminated, often with a diagnostic trouble code like B1001 (Option Configuration Error).
- ✔ Wipers operate intermittently or won’t turn off.
- ✔ A collection of communication or body-related DTCs that seem unrelated.
A Straightforward Guide to Your BCM Replacement
- ✔ Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your truck’s battery before beginning any electrical work. This prevents short circuits and helps reset the vehicle’s electronic systems.
- ✔ Locate the BCM: On most 2003-2007 Sierra Denali models, the BCM is located under the driver’s side of the dashboard, near the steering column. It’s a black plastic box with several large multi-pin connectors.
- ✔ Remove the Old Module: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors. They have locking tabs that need to be depressed. Once unplugged, unbolt the module from its mounting bracket. Package this original module securely to send to us for the cloning service.
- ✔ Install the New Module: Once you receive your newly cloned BCM from us, simply reverse the process. Mount the module and plug in all the connectors firmly until they click into place.
- ✔ Reconnect and Test: Reconnect the battery terminal. Start your truck and test all body functions—lights, locks, windows, wipers, and HVAC—to confirm the repair was successful.
Post-Installation Notes
Our cloning service makes this a true plug-and-play repair. However, in some cases, a post-installation procedure may be needed. If the airbag light remains on, a technician with a capable scan tool will need to perform the “Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM” function. Similarly, a Brake Pedal Position Relearn might be required on certain models to ensure proper brake light and stability control operation. Your original module will be returned to you with the cloned unit, as we have no core charge or policy.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the cloning service and why do I need it?
Cloning is a process where we transfer the complete software and vehicle-specific data (including security info and factory options) from your original BCM to the replacement unit. This ensures 100% compatibility and means you won’t need to pay a dealership for expensive programming.
Do I need to send my original BCM to you?
Yes. The cloning service requires your original module to extract the data. We perform the service and ship both your original and the newly cloned replacement back to you promptly.
Is this a difficult part to install myself?
For most DIYers, the physical installation is very straightforward and takes less than 15 minutes. It’s typically located under the driver’s dash and just requires unplugging connectors and removing a few bolts.
Will this fix my airbag light?
If the airbag light is on due to a BCM communication error (like DTC B1001), this will resolve the root cause. However, you may still need a professional scan tool to perform an ‘SDM Key Sync’ to clear the light after installation.
What is your warranty and core policy?
This module is backed by a one-year warranty against defects. We do not have a core charge; your original module is always returned to you along with the cloned replacement.
