Is Your Vehicle Plagued by Baffling Electrical Issues?
If you’re dealing with flickering dashboard lights, power windows with a mind of their own, malfunctioning door locks, or other strange electronic behavior, a failing Body Control Module (BCM) is often the culprit. This critical component acts as the central nervous system for your vehicle’s comfort and convenience features. When it fails, it can make driving frustrating and unpredictable. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it can affect vehicle security and function. Take back control and restore your vehicle to its proper working order.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A faulty BCM can manifest in numerous ways. You might be experiencing one or more of the following:
- Interior or exterior lights that won’t turn on or off
- Power windows, mirrors, or seats operating intermittently or not at all
- Erratic or non-functional instrument cluster gauges
- Security system issues or key fob problems
- A vehicle that won’t start, even with a good battery and starter
This Programmed GM Body Control Module is the definitive solution. We take the guesswork and hassle out of the repair by pre-programming the unit to your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) before it ships.

Expert Insight: The ‘Programmed’ Difference
You might find a used BCM at a salvage yard, but it won’t work correctly when you plug it in. These modules are ‘locked’ to the VIN of the vehicle they came from. Installing one without proper programming will, at best, not work and, at worst, create even more electronic chaos. Our service handles this critical step for you. By sending you a Programmed GM Body Control Module, we provide a reliable component that is genuinely ready for installation, turning a complex electronic repair into a much more manageable task.
Important Post-Installation Information
While this module is programmed for your VIN, certain vehicle systems may require a ‘re-sync’ procedure after installation using a professional scan tool. This is a standard part of the repair process for many modern vehicles. Potential procedures include:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is on after installation, the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure is needed to sync the systems.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: A recalibration may be necessary to ensure proper brake light and traction control function.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for vehicle-specific instructions.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I provide my vehicle’s VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit VIN. We cannot program and ship your module without it. Please double-check it for accuracy to ensure a perfect match.
Is this part difficult to install?
The physical replacement of the BCM is typically straightforward for someone with moderate mechanical skill. It usually involves removing a few dash panels and disconnecting electrical connectors. The main difficulty, which we handle for you, is the programming. However, some post-install relearn procedures may still require a professional scan tool.
What happens if my airbag light comes on after installation?
This is a known possibility. It means the new BCM needs to be electronically ‘introduced’ to your vehicle’s airbag module (SDM). A repair shop with a high-level diagnostic tool can perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to resolve this.
Will this fix all of my vehicle’s electrical problems?
This Programmed GM Body Control Module will resolve all issues directly caused by a failing BCM. If your problems are due to other factors like bad wiring, faulty switches, or other failing modules, those issues will need to be diagnosed and addressed separately.
Do I need to send my old BCM back?
No. There is no core charge for this part. You can keep your original module without any extra fees or hassle.
