Are you experiencing frustrating and unpredictable electrical issues in your Chevrolet Monte Carlo? From flickering lights and malfunctioning gauges to power windows with a mind of their own, a failing Body Control Module (BCM) can turn your driving experience into a nightmare. The BCM is the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can cause a wide range of confusing symptoms. This VIN-programmed Body Control Module is the definitive solution to restore your car’s electrical systems to factory-perfect operation.
This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a plug-and-play solution. We pre-program the module to your vehicle’s specific VIN before shipping, loading it with the latest GM software updates. This critical step ensures compatibility and saves you from costly and time-consuming programming at a dealership.

Important Installation Notes
While this module is designed for a straightforward installation, some vehicles may require additional steps after the part is installed. Please be aware of the following potential procedures:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a professional scan tool is needed to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor relearn may be necessary to ensure correct operation of the brake lights and traction control system.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for vehicle-specific instructions.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a BCM and what does it do?
The Body Control Module (BCM) is a computer in your vehicle that controls and monitors a wide range of electronic accessories not related to the engine, such as power windows, locks, lights, wipers, security system, and instrument cluster functions.
Do I need to program this module?
No. This BCM comes pre-programmed to your car’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). You must provide us with your VIN at the time of purchase so we can load the correct software before shipping it to you.
Where is the BCM located on a 2006-2007 Monte Carlo?
On the 2006-2007 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, the Body Control Module is typically located behind the dashboard, near the left-hand side of the steering column.
What happens if I don’t provide my VIN?
We cannot ship the module without your VIN. The programming is essential for the part to function correctly with your vehicle’s specific features and security system. Your order will be held until the VIN is provided.
Will this fix my airbag light?
If the airbag light is on due to a communication fault with a bad BCM, this part can resolve the root cause. However, after installation, the system may require an ‘Airbag System Sync’ procedure with a professional scan tool to clear the light, as noted in the installation instructions.
