Are you battling bizarre and frustrating electrical problems in your 2006-2007 Chevrolet Monte Carlo? When features like power windows, door locks, interior lights, or the security system start acting erratically, the culprit is often a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central computer for your car’s body electronics, and when it malfunctions, it can cause a wide range of confusing symptoms. This replacement BCM, part number 25847589, is the definitive solution to restore full functionality and peace of mind.
This isn’t just a part in a box. We provide a crucial service by programming the module to your vehicle’s specific VIN before it ships. This ensures it communicates correctly with your car’s other systems, recognizes the options your vehicle was built with, and integrates seamlessly with the anti-theft system. Simply provide your VIN after purchase, and we’ll handle the complex programming, saving you a trip to the dealership and expensive labor costs.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional power windows, door locks, and mirrors.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights that stay on, flicker, or won’t turn on at all.
- ✔ The security system engaging randomly or preventing the car from starting.
- ✔ Warning lights on the dashboard, such as the airbag or service vehicle soon light.
- ✔ Inconsistent or non-working radio and climate controls.
- ✔ False readings on the instrument cluster gauges.
Solving Problems with a Programmed 2006-2007 Monte Carlo BCM
Replacing a BCM isn’t as simple as swapping the old one out. Modern vehicles use the BCM as part of the Passlock/Passkey anti-theft system. An unprogrammed module will not allow the vehicle to start. Our professional programming service uses the latest GM software updates to load your vehicle’s unique configuration onto this module. This makes the installation process as straightforward as possible. While the module is programmed for your VIN, some vehicles may require a simple on-vehicle relearn procedure to sync components like the brake pedal position sensor or the airbag system, as detailed in the post-installation notes.
This module is a direct replacement for a wide range of GM part numbers, including: 10382479, 15093910, 15276271, 15819552, 25847589, and many more. It fits a variety of vehicles beyond the Monte Carlo, such as the Impala, Acadia, Equinox, and various GM vans. Please verify your part number or consult the fitment list to ensure compatibility.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Body Control Module do?
The BCM acts as the central computer for your vehicle’s body-related electronic features. It controls functions that are not related to the engine, such as power windows, locks, lights, wipers, security system, and climate controls.
Do I need to get this BCM programmed?
No. We handle the programming for you before we ship the part. You must provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN so we can load the correct software and settings for your specific car.
Where is the BCM located on my 2006-2007 Monte Carlo?
On the 2006-2007 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 in your vehicle. An unprogrammed BCM will likely result in a no-start condition and other system malfunctions.
Will this fix my airbag light?
It may. If the BCM is the cause of the fault, this will resolve it. However, after installation, if the airbag light is on, a simple ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure may be required with a professional scan tool to sync the systems.
Is this part truly plug-and-play?
It is as close as it gets. Since we pre-program it to your VIN, the most difficult step is done. However, depending on your specific model, you may need to perform a simple relearn procedure for the brake pedal position or airbag system, which sometimes can be done without special tools.
