Are you battling frustrating electrical gremlins in your truck? Flickering lights, unresponsive power windows, or a temperamental HVAC system are common signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can cause a cascade of confusing issues. This genuine OEM-quality Body Control Module, interchangeable with part number 22860591, is the definitive solution for your 2007-2011 Silverado 2500 and a wide range of other GM trucks and SUVs.

Is Your 2007-2011 Silverado BCM Failing?
A faulty BCM can manifest in numerous ways. If you’re experiencing any of the following issues, it’s highly likely your BCM is the culprit:
- ✔ Unresponsive or erratic power windows, door locks, and interior/exterior lights.
- ✔ HVAC system malfunctions, such as the blower motor not working or temperature controls failing.
- ✔ An illuminated airbag warning light, often accompanied by Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) B1001.
- ✔ Security system errors, causing no-start conditions, stalling, or random alarm activation.
- ✔ Intermittent wiper operation or wipers that won’t turn off.
- ✔ Communication errors with other vehicle modules, leading to a host of DTCs.

Installation and Post-Install Notes
Installation is straightforward for the DIY mechanic. The BCM is typically located under the driver’s side dashboard, near the steering column. In most cases, it’s a simple swap. However, please be aware of 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” must be performed with a professional-grade scan tool. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system’s Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM).
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: Some models may require a brake pedal position sensor relearn to ensure proper brake light and traction control functionality.
There is no core charge for this part, so you can keep your old module without the hassle of returning it.
