Is Your Sierra 3500 Plagued by Electrical Gremlins?
If you’re dealing with flickering lights, unresponsive power windows, a malfunctioning security system, or strange HVAC behavior in your 2007-2011 GMC Sierra 3500, a failing Body Control Module (BCM) is the most likely culprit. The BCM is the central command center for your truck’s body electronics, and when it starts to fail, it can cause a cascade of frustrating and seemingly unrelated issues. Don’t let a faulty module compromise your truck’s functionality and safety. This genuine GM BCM, part number 25835965, is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s electronic systems to perfect working order.

Expert Pro Tip
Before condemning your BCM, always perform a thorough check of the main ground connections, especially the one located near the BCM under the driver’s side dash. A loose or corroded ground can mimic the symptoms of a failed module and is a common point of failure on these trucks. Ensuring a solid ground is critical for the new module to function correctly.
Symptoms of a Failing Sierra 3500 Body Control Module
- ✔ Unresponsive or erratic power windows, door locks, and interior/exterior lights.
- ✔ HVAC system failures, such as the blower motor not working or temperature controls being inoperative.
- ✔ The security system acting up, potentially causing no-start conditions or false alarms.
- ✔ An illuminated airbag warning light, often accompanied by diagnostic trouble code (DTC) B1001.
- ✔ Intermittent stalling, misfires, or other grounding-related engine performance problems.
- ✔ A variety of communication errors or body-related DTCs stored in the vehicle’s computer.

Post-Installation Procedures
Installation is simple and typically takes less than 15 minutes, as the module is located under the steering column. However, depending on your vehicle’s configuration, a couple of simple relearn procedures may be necessary. If the airbag light remains on, a professional scan tool is required to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ function. Additionally, a ‘Brake Pedal Position Relearn’ might be needed to ensure proper brake light and traction control operation. These procedures are straightforward for any qualified technician.
