Restore Your Monte Carlo’s Electrical System
Is your 2006 or 2007 Chevrolet Monte Carlo suffering from baffling electrical issues? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, a temperamental security system, or strange instrument cluster behavior are all classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM acts as the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can create a cascade of frustrating and seemingly unrelated problems. This replacement Body Control Module, part number 25826125, is the definitive solution to restore full functionality and reliability to your vehicle.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2007 Monte Carlo SS come into the shop that was driving the owner crazy. The radio would randomly shut off, the driver’s side power window worked only when it wanted to, and the anti-theft light would stay on, sometimes preventing the car from starting. The owner had already replaced the battery and checked fuses. After hooking up our scan tool, we saw multiple communication loss codes pointing towards the BCM. Instead of a dozen small issues, it was one central failure. Installing a VIN-programmed 2006-2007 Monte Carlo BCM solved every single problem in one go. It’s a perfect example of how this single component can restore a vehicle’s proper operation.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional power windows, door locks, and interior lighting.
- ✔ Security system engaging randomly or preventing the car from starting.
- ✔ Instrument panel gauges behaving erratically or not working at all.
- ✔ Intermittent no-start conditions where the engine cranks but won’t fire.
- ✔ Communication error codes (U-codes) stored in the vehicle’s computer system.
- ✔ Wipers, horn, or radio functioning intermittently or not at all.

This ensures a seamless installation and immediate restoration of your car’s electronic functions.
Important Post-Installation Information
While this module is designed for a straightforward installation, some vehicle systems may require a recalibration procedure after the new BCM is installed. Please be aware of the following potential requirements:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure must be performed with a professional-grade scan tool. 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 procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Body Control Module (BCM) do?
The BCM is a computer that manages and controls many of your vehicle’s non-engine related electronic functions, such as power windows, locks, lights, security system, wipers, and instrument cluster.
Do I need to get this module programmed by a dealer?
No. This is the main benefit of our service. We program the BCM to your vehicle’s specific VIN before shipping it to you, making it a plug-and-play installation that saves you time and money.
What information do you need from me?
After you place your order, you will need to provide us with your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This allows us to program the module correctly for your car’s specific options and features.
Is this a direct fit for my 2006-2007 Monte Carlo?
Yes, this BCM is a guaranteed fit for all 2006-2007 Chevrolet Monte Carlo models. It is located on the left-hand side of the steering column.
What if my airbag light turns on after I install the new BCM?
This can happen occasionally. It means the new BCM needs to be electronically ‘introduced’ to the airbag module. A qualified technician with a high-level scan tool will need to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to resolve this.
Is there a core charge?
No, there is no core charge for this part. You can keep your original module.
