Restore Full Electrical Function to Your GM Truck
Is your GMC Sierra, Chevrolet Silverado, or Tahoe plagued by strange electrical issues? Flickering lights, unresponsive power windows, a dead HVAC system, or a persistent airbag light are common signs of a failing 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 cascade of frustrating and seemingly unrelated problems. This genuine quality GM Body Control Module, interchangeable with part number 25790508, is the definitive solution, arriving pre-programmed to your vehicle’s VIN for a true plug-and-play installation.

From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2009 Sierra 2500 come in with a laundry list of complaints: the radio would cut out, the dome light flickered, and the power locks worked only half the time. The owner had already replaced the battery and checked fuses. A scan showed multiple communication loss codes. After a quick check, we found a corroded ground connection near the BCM under the dash. While the BCM itself was still functional, the poor ground was causing the erratic behavior. It’s a powerful reminder: when replacing a BCM, always inspect and clean the main grounding points. A solid connection is just as critical as the part itself.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Power windows, door locks, or mirrors not working or operating erratically.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights staying on, not turning on, or flickering.
- ✔ HVAC and climate control functions failing or blowing air at incorrect temperatures.
- ✔ Airbag warning light illuminated, often with DTC B1001.
- ✔ Vehicle security system malfunctioning, causing no-start conditions or false alarms.
- ✔ Wipers behaving unpredictably or not working at all.
- ✔ A variety of communication-related Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).

Installation & Post-Install Notes
The BCM is typically located under the driver’s side dashboard, near the steering column. Installation is a straightforward process that can often be completed in minutes. However, please be aware of potential post-installation procedures. If the airbag warning light is on after installation, a professional scan tool is required to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ function. Some vehicles may also require a ‘Brake Pedal Position Relearn’ to ensure proper brake light and traction control operation. For detailed instructions, always consult a factory service manual.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a BCM do on a 2008 GMC Sierra 2500?
The Body Control Module (BCM) is a computer that manages and controls most of your truck’s non-engine related electronic functions, including the power windows, door locks, interior/exterior lighting, security system, wipers, and HVAC controls.
Is this BCM ready to install out of the box?
Yes. We pre-program the module to your vehicle’s specific VIN before shipping. This ensures it is ready for a plug-and-play installation without requiring a trip to the dealership for additional programming.
Why is my airbag light still on after installing the new BCM?
This is a common security feature. The new BCM needs to be electronically ‘introduced’ to the airbag system’s computer (SDM). This requires a professional scan tool to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure, which syncs the modules and turns off the light.
Do I need to return my old BCM?
No. This product comes with no core charge, so you can keep your original module without any additional fees or hassle.
Where is the BCM located on a 2007-2011 Sierra?
The BCM is typically found under the driver’s side of the dashboard, often attached to a bracket near the steering column or the junction block.
