Is your Chevrolet Express Van experiencing strange and frustrating electrical problems?
If your power windows, door locks, interior lights, or HVAC system are acting erratically, the cause is likely a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central computer for your van’s body electronics, and when it malfunctions, it can lead to a host of issues, including security system faults or even a no-start condition. This OEM-quality GM 15116066 BCM is the perfect solution, arriving pre-programmed to your vehicle’s VIN for a true plug-and-play installation.
Symptoms of a Failing GM BCM
A faulty BCM can manifest in numerous ways. If you’re noticing any of the following, it’s a strong indicator that your module needs replacement:
- ✔ Intermittent or total loss of power windows, door locks, or interior lighting.
- ✔ HVAC controls not responding or the blower motor working sporadically.
- ✔ The security or anti-theft system malfunctioning, preventing the engine from starting.
- ✔ An airbag warning light on the dash, often accompanied by Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) B1001.
- ✔ Unpredictable behavior from windshield wipers or exterior lights.
- ✔ Multiple body-related DTCs stored in the vehicle’s computer system.
