Fix Your Truck’s Electrical Issues for Good
If you’re dealing with bizarre electrical problems in your truck—like wipers that won’t turn off, a dead instrument cluster, or power windows with a mind of their own—a failing Body Control Module (BCM) is the likely culprit. As the central command for your vehicle’s body electronics, a faulty BCM can cause chaos. This replacement BCM, part number 15940214, is the definitive solution for your 2007-2011 Silverado 2500 Pickup and other compatible GM vehicles. We take the guesswork out of the repair with our professional cloning service, transferring all the critical data from your original module to this replacement unit. The result is a true plug-and-play part that requires no expensive trip to the dealership for programming.
Is Your Silverado Showing These Symptoms?
- ✔️ Strange electrical behavior: Power locks, windows, or interior/exterior lights not working correctly.
- ✔️ HVAC system failure: Blower motor not working or climate controls are unresponsive.
- ✔️ Security system faults: Vehicle may not start, or the anti-theft light stays on.
- ✔️ Persistent Airbag Light: Often accompanied by diagnostic trouble code (DTC) B1001, indicating a communication issue between the BCM and the airbag system.
- ✔️ Communication errors with other modules, leading to a variety of DTCs.
From the Diagnostic Bay: A Technician’s Notebook
I remember a 2009 Sierra 2500 that came into my shop with a frustrating mix of issues. The radio would cut out, the dome light flickered, and the driver’s window would only work intermittently. The owner had already replaced the window switch and checked fuses, with no luck. After connecting my scanner, I saw a handful of U-codes (communication faults). Instead of just condemning the BCM, I went to its location under the dash. Sure enough, the main ground connection nearby was loose and slightly corroded. After cleaning and tightening the ground, some issues cleared up, but the BCM had already suffered internal damage from the erratic voltage. Replacing the BCM with a cloned unit and ensuring a solid ground connection fixed every single problem. It’s a perfect example of why checking the simple things, like grounds, during any BCM replacement is critical for a lasting repair.
A Straightforward Guide to Your 2007-2011 Silverado 2500 BCM Installation
- ✔ Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your truck’s battery before starting any electrical work.
- ✔ Locate the BCM: On most GM trucks and SUVs from this era, the BCM is located under the driver’s side dashboard, often near the steering column or main fuse block. It’s a black plastic box with several large multi-pin connectors.
- ✔ Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug all electrical connectors. They have locking tabs that need to be depressed. Once disconnected, unbolt or unclip the old BCM from its mounting bracket.
- ✔ Install the New Module: Seat your new, cloned BCM into the mounting bracket and securely plug in all the electrical connectors. You should hear a ‘click’ as they lock into place.
- ✔ Reconnect and Test: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Turn the key to the ‘On’ position and test all functions: lights, wipers, locks, windows, and HVAC to confirm the repair was successful.
Post-Installation Note: While our cloning service makes this a plug-and-play repair, some vehicles may require additional steps. If your airbag light remains on, a professional scan tool is needed to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ function. Similarly, a ‘Brake Pedal Position Relearn’ may be necessary on certain models. Always refer to a service manual for vehicle-specific procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the ‘Cloning Service’ and why do I need it?
Cloning is a process where we transfer the exact vehicle-specific data—including your VIN, mileage, and optional equipment settings—from your original BCM to the replacement unit. This makes the new module a perfect digital copy, ensuring it works seamlessly with your truck’s other computers without needing dealer programming.
Do I need to send my original BCM to you?
Yes. For the cloning service to be performed, you must send us your original Body Control Module after placing your order. We will clone the data and ship both your original module and the ready-to-install replacement back to you.
My airbag light is on. Will this fix it?
If the airbag light is caused by a faulty BCM (like with code B1001), this part will resolve the root cause. However, after installation, you may need a professional scan tool to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to sync the modules and turn off the warning light.
Is there a core charge for this part?
No, there is no core charge. We require your original module for the data cloning process, but it is always returned to you along with the programmed replacement unit. You get to keep your old part.
What if this doesn’t fix my problem?
While a faulty BCM is a very common cause for these symptoms, proper diagnosis is key. We guarantee our module is fully functional. If the issues persist after installation, the problem may lie elsewhere in the vehicle, such as wiring, grounds, or another module.
