Solve Your Van’s Electrical Gremlins for Good
If you’re a contractor or business owner, a 2004-2007 Chevrolet Express 1500 Van that’s acting up is more than an annoyance—it’s a hit to your bottom line. When the power locks stop working, the A/C blower motor quits on a hot day, or random warning lights appear on the dash, the culprit is often a failing Body Control Module (BCM). This module is the central hub for your van’s body electronics, and when it goes, it can cause a cascade of frustrating, intermittent problems. This replacement BCM, part number 10367690, is the reliable, long-term solution to restore full functionality and get your workhorse back on the road.
What is a Cloning Service and Why Do You Need It?
Unlike a standard replacement part that requires a trip to the dealership for expensive programming, this module comes with our expert Cloning Service. We transfer the critical data from your original BCM directly to this replacement unit. This process ensures that all your vehicle’s specific settings and security information are perfectly matched. The result is a true plug-and-play part that works the moment you install it, saving you hundreds of dollars and days of downtime. Simply send us your original module, and we’ll send it back to you along with your ready-to-install replacement.
Case Study: A Tricky Diagnosis
A local delivery business brought in their ’06 Express 2500 with a bizarre list of complaints. The driver said the radio would turn off randomly, the dome light would flicker, and sometimes the power door locks wouldn’t respond. They’d already replaced the battery and checked the main grounds. After hooking up my scan tool, I saw a handful of U-codes (communication errors) but no hard faults. In my 20+ years of experience, these exact symptoms almost always point to a failing BCM. The internal circuits fracture over time from heat and vibration, causing unpredictable behavior. We installed a cloned 2004-2007 Express 1500 BCM, and the van was back in service the same afternoon, problem-free.
Is Your Express Van Showing These Symptoms?
- ✔ Intermittent or non-functional HVAC controls, especially the blower fan.
- ✔ Power windows, door locks, or interior/exterior lights working sporadically or not at all.
- ✔ The security light is on, or the vehicle experiences a no-start condition.
- ✔ An airbag warning light is illuminated, often with a DTC like B1001 (Option Configuration Error).
- ✔ A cluster of seemingly unrelated electrical issues that defy simple diagnosis.
- ✔ Communication loss codes (U-codes) stored in various modules.
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
- ✔ Safety First: Before you begin, disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery to prevent electrical shorts and reset the system.
- ✔ Locate the BCM: In the 2004-2007 Express and Savana vans, the BCM is located behind a panel in the center of the dashboard, typically below the radio.
- ✔ Remove the Old Module: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors. They have locking tabs that need to be depressed. Once disconnected, unbolt or unclip the module from its mounting bracket.
- ✔ Install the New Module: Seat the cloned BCM into the mounting bracket and securely reconnect all electrical harnesses. You’ll hear a click as they lock into place.
- ✔ Reconnect and Test: Reconnect the battery terminal. Start the vehicle and test all functions: lights, locks, windows, wipers, and HVAC to confirm the repair is successful.
Important Post-Installation Information
In some cases, additional steps may be required. If your airbag light remains on, a professional scan tool is needed to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. Similarly, a ‘Brake Pedal Position Relearn’ might be necessary on certain models. Always refer to a service manual for vehicle-specific instructions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is a BCM cloning service?
Cloning is a process where we transfer the exact software, VIN, mileage, and security data from your original BCM to the replacement unit. This makes the new part a perfect digital copy of the old one, eliminating the need for dealership programming.
Can I install this myself?
Yes, this is a great job for a confident DIYer or any professional mechanic. The physical installation is simple, typically taking just a few minutes with basic tools. Our cloning service handles the complex software side for you.
Do I need to send my old BCM to you?
Yes. For the cloning service to work, we need your original module to extract the necessary data. We will return your original module along with the newly programmed replacement. There is no core charge.
What if the airbag light comes on after I install it?
This can happen occasionally. It means the new BCM needs to be electronically ‘introduced’ to the airbag system’s computer (SDM). A repair shop with a professional-grade scan tool can perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key’ procedure to resolve this.
Is this a reliable fix for my 2004-2007 Express 1500 BCM?
Absolutely. This module is built to meet or exceed original equipment standards and addresses the common failure points of the factory BCM. It’s a dependable solution to restore your van’s electrical systems.
