Are you battling bizarre electrical issues in your Chevrolet Equinox, GMC Acadia, or other compatible GM vehicle? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows and locks, a faulty security system, or even a no-start condition can often be traced back to a single, critical component: the Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM acts as the central nervous system for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can cause a wide range of frustrating and difficult-to-diagnose problems.
This is your direct, reliable solution. We offer a genuine GM Body Control Module, part number 25826124, that comes fully programmed to your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This crucial step eliminates the need for expensive dealership programming or specialized tools, making the repair process simpler and more affordable. Simply provide us with your VIN after purchase, and we’ll handle the programming with the latest GM software updates before shipping it to your door.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional interior and exterior lights.
- ✔ Power windows, door locks, or mirrors not working correctly.
- ✔ Intermittent no-start conditions, often with a security system warning light.
- ✔ The radio or infotainment system behaving strangely.
- ✔ False alarms from the vehicle’s anti-theft system.
- ✔ Inaccurate gauge readings on the instrument cluster.
Why Choose Our Pre-Programmed 2007-2009 Equinox BCM?
Replacing a BCM isn’t just about swapping a part. A new module must be able to communicate with the other computers in your vehicle. Our service bridges that gap. By programming the module to your VIN, we ensure it’s ready to integrate with your vehicle’s existing systems, such as the engine computer, transmission controller, and instrument cluster. This module is a direct replacement for a wide array of part numbers, ensuring broad compatibility across many GM models (see full list below).
Installation & Post-Install Procedures
While this module is programmed for your vehicle, some systems may require a ‘handshake’ procedure after installation. This is normal and can often be performed with a capable diagnostic scan tool.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a professional scan tool must be used 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 recalibration may be necessary to ensure the brake lights and traction control system function as intended.
Disclaimer: Specific procedures can vary by vehicle. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to get this BCM programmed by a dealer?
No. We program the module to your vehicle’s VIN before we ship it. It arrives ready for installation, saving you a trip to the dealership and additional programming fees.
Where is the BCM located on a 2007-2009 Equinox?
On the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Equinox, the Body Control Module is typically located in the center dash area. However, locations can vary, so we always recommend consulting a vehicle-specific service manual to confirm.
What happens if I forget to provide my VIN?
Providing your VIN is a required step for this purchase. We cannot program or ship the module without it, as it would not function correctly in your vehicle. Your order will be placed on hold until the VIN is received.
Will this fix my airbag light?
If the BCM is the cause of the airbag light, this may resolve the issue. However, after installation, the airbag system (SDM) may need to be electronically synced to the new BCM using a professional scan tool to turn off the light.
Is this part truly plug-and-play?
It is ‘plug-and-program-and-play’. Since we handle the programming, it’s as close as you can get. Most functions will work immediately, but as noted, some simple relearn procedures like for the brake pedal position sensor may be required.
My original part number is not 25826124. Will this still work?
Yes, if your original part number is on the extensive list of compatible part numbers provided in the description. This module is a superseding part that replaces many older versions.
