Restore Your Van’s Electrical System with a Plug-and-Play Solution
If your 2004-2007 Chevrolet Express 1500 Van is plagued by baffling electrical problems, a failing Body Control Module (BCM) is often the culprit. As the central command for your van’s body electronics, a faulty BCM can disrupt everything from your power windows and door locks to the HVAC system and even prevent the engine from starting. This replacement BCM, part number 15137393, is the reliable fix you need. We offer a professional Cloning Service, where we transfer the critical data from your original module to this replacement. This ensures a seamless, plug-and-play installation without requiring a trip to the dealership for expensive programming.
What is a Cloning Service and Why Do You Need It?
Your van’s original BCM contains specific information tied to its Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), including security settings and optional features. Our cloning service precisely copies this data onto the replacement module. This means the new BCM will work identically to the old one, recognizing your keys and all factory-installed options. You get a fully functional part that’s ready to install right out of the box, saving you significant time, money, and diagnostic headaches. This is the most efficient way to replace a 2004-2007 Express 1500 Van BCM.
Case Study: The Contractor’s Van That Wouldn’t Cooperate
A few months back, a 2006 Express 1500 work van was brought to my shop. The owner, a local plumber, was frustrated with intermittent no-start conditions and flickering interior lights. He’d already replaced the battery and checked the alternator. Diagnostics showed a cluster of communication error codes pointing toward the BCM. The most common cause I see for these failures on work vans is voltage spikes from aftermarket equipment or simple wear from constant use. By providing a cloned 2004-2007 Express 1500 Van BCM, we had his van back on the road and earning money the same afternoon—no dealer appointment needed.
Is Your Express Van Showing These Electrical Faults?
- ✔ Intermittent or non-functional power windows, door locks, or mirrors.
- ✔ HVAC blower motor not working or behaving erratically.
- ✔ The security light stays on, causing a no-start or crank-no-start condition.
- ✔ An airbag warning light is illuminated on the dash, sometimes with DTC B1001.
- ✔ Inconsistent operation of interior dome lights or exterior lighting.
- ✔ Communication errors with other modules on the vehicle’s network.
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
- ✔ Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery before starting any electrical work.
- ✔ Locate the BCM: On the Express and Savana vans, the BCM is typically found in the center of the dashboard, often behind a removable panel or the glove box.
- ✔ Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors from the old BCM. They have locking tabs that need to be depressed. Once disconnected, remove the module from its mounting bracket.
- ✔ Install the New Module: Seat the new, cloned BCM into the mounting bracket and securely plug in all the electrical connectors.
- ✔ Reconnect and Test: Reconnect the battery terminal. Start the vehicle and test all body functions—lights, locks, windows, wipers, and HVAC—to confirm the repair was successful.

What does your Cloning Service involve?
What does your Cloning Service involve?
You send us your original Body Control Module. We then use specialized equipment to read the essential VIN, security, and options data from it. We transfer this data directly onto the replacement module we provide. This makes the new unit a perfect electronic match for your vehicle, ensuring a simple plug-and-play installation.
Do I need to get this programmed by a dealer?
No. Our cloning service completely eliminates the need for dealership programming, saving you time and hundreds of dollars in fees.
What is your core policy?
We require your original module to perform the cloning service. After the service is complete, your original module is always returned to you along with the newly programmed replacement unit. We do not keep your part.
What if my airbag light is on after installation?
In some cases, the new BCM may need to be synced with the airbag system. This is a simple procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ that can be performed with a professional-grade scan tool. This is only necessary if the airbag warning light appears after you’ve installed the new module.
