Restore Full Electrical Function to Your GM Van or Truck
Are you battling frustrating electrical problems in your 2004-2007 GMC Savana 2500 Van? Issues like flickering lights, unresponsive power windows, erratic HVAC controls, or a persistent airbag light are common signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the electronic brain for your vehicle’s body accessories, and when it malfunctions, it can cause a wide range of confusing and disruptive symptoms. This genuine OEM-quality BCM, part number 15136225, is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s systems to perfect working order.
Symptoms of a Failing 2004-2007 Savana 2500 BCM
A faulty BCM can manifest in numerous ways. If you’re experiencing any of the following, it’s highly likely your Body Control Module needs replacement:
- ✔ Intermittent or non-functional power windows, door locks, or mirrors.
- ✔ HVAC blower motor or climate controls not working correctly.
- ✔ The security system acting up, potentially causing a no-start condition.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights (headlights, taillights, dome light) behaving erratically.
- ✔ An illuminated airbag warning light, often accompanied by DTC B1001.
- ✔ Wipers that won’t turn on, off, or operate at the correct speed.
- ✔ A host of communication-related Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).

The biggest hurdle in replacing a BCM is typically the need for expensive programming at a dealership. We eliminate that step entirely. This module is expertly pre-programmed to your vehicle’s specific VIN before shipping. This ensures that it communicates flawlessly with your vehicle’s other electronic modules, like the ECM and SDM, right out of the box. This simple, direct-fit replacement saves you time, money, and the hassle of a dealer appointment.
This module is a direct replacement for a wide range of part numbers, including 15116066, 10383536, 15136877, 15198116, and 15257043, among others. It fits a broad selection of GM trucks and SUVs from 2002-2007, such as the Chevrolet Silverado, Tahoe, Suburban, Express Van, GMC Sierra, Yukon, and Cadillac Escalade.
Installation and Post-Install Considerations
Installation is simple for the DIY mechanic. On the 2004-2007 Savana and Express vans, the BCM is located in the center of the dash. Simply disconnect the battery, remove the old module, plug in your new pre-programmed unit, and reconnect the battery. While our programming handles the primary setup, some vehicles may require a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure with a professional scan tool if the airbag light remains on. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system. There is no core charge, so you can keep your old part without any extra fees.
