Restore Full Electrical Function to Your GM Truck
Are you battling frustrating electrical gremlins in your truck? Intermittent wipers, malfunctioning power windows, a dead HVAC system, or random warning lights are common signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM acts as the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics. When it fails, it can cause a wide range of confusing and unpredictable issues. This genuine GM Body Control Module, part number 25835965, is the definitive solution for your 2007-2011 Silverado 2500 and a wide range of other GM trucks and SUVs.
Symptoms of a Failing 2007-2011 Silverado BCM
A faulty BCM can manifest in numerous ways. If your truck is experiencing any of the following, a replacement module is likely the solution:
- ✔ Power windows, door locks, or mirrors operating erratically or not at all.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights (headlights, taillights, dome lights) staying on or not turning on.
- ✔ HVAC and climate control functions are unresponsive or the blower motor works intermittently.
- ✔ The security system acts up, preventing the vehicle from starting (PassLock issues).
- ✔ Airbag warning light is illuminated, often with a DTC B1001 code stored.
- ✔ Unexplained battery drain while the vehicle is parked.
- ✔ Wipers won’t turn off or operate at the wrong speed.
Plug-and-Play Solution with VIN Programming
Don’t waste time and money on a trip to the dealership. We pre-program this module to your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) before shipping. This critical step ensures that the BCM communicates flawlessly with your truck’s other electronic systems right out of the box. It arrives ready for a simple, direct installation, restoring factory performance without the need for expensive scan tools or additional programming fees.
Installation and Post-Install Notes
Replacing the 2007-2011 Silverado BCM is a straightforward job for a DIYer. The module is typically located under the driver’s side dashboard, near the steering column. The physical swap takes only a few minutes. However, be aware of a few potential post-installation procedures:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light remains on after installation, a procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ is required. This must be done with a professional-grade diagnostic tool to sync the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: Some models may require a brake pedal position sensor relearn to ensure proper brake light and traction control operation.
