This replacement Body Control Module, corresponding to part number 15263497 and its interchanges, is the definitive solution to restore full functionality and peace of mind.

Is Your GM Vehicle Showing These Symptoms?

A failing BCM can manifest in numerous ways. If your truck or SUV is experiencing any of the following, it’s time to consider a replacement 2007-2011 GM BCM:

• ✔ Erratic or non-functional interior and exterior lights.
• ✔ Power windows, door locks, or mirrors that don’t respond.
• ✔ HVAC system failures, such as a blower motor that won’t turn on or stays stuck on high.
• ✔ An active airbag warning light, often with a B1001 code stored.
• ✔ Security system malfunctions, leading to no-start conditions or random alarm activation.

A Straightforward Guide to Installation

One of the biggest advantages of this module is its simple installation process. Because we program it to your vehicle’s VIN before shipping, you can bypass a costly trip to the dealership. The entire job can typically be done in under 15 minutes right in your driveway.

1. Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery before starting any electrical work.
2. Locate the BCM: On most compatible GM models, the BCM is located under the driver’s side of the dashboard, near the steering column. It’s a black box with several large multi-pin connectors.
3. Remove the Old Module: Carefully unplug all electrical connectors. They have locking tabs that need to be depressed. Once unplugged, the module can be unclipped or unbolted from its mounting bracket.
4. Install the New Module: Seat the new, pre-programmed BCM into the mounting bracket and securely plug in all the connectors. You’ll hear a ‘click’ when they are properly seated.
5. Reconnect and Test: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Turn the key to the ‘On’ position and test all body functions—lights, locks, windows, wipers, and HVAC—to confirm the repair.

Post-Installation Note: In some cases, particularly if you had an airbag light on, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure may be needed using a professional scan tool to sync the new BCM with the airbag system. A brake pedal position relearn may also be required on certain models. These are straightforward procedures for any qualified technician.
