Is Your GM Truck Experiencing Electrical Gremlins?
If your 2007-2011 Chevrolet Silverado, GMC Sierra, or other compatible GM vehicle is suffering from strange electrical issues like malfunctioning lights, unresponsive power windows, or erratic HVAC controls, a failing Body Control Module (BCM) is the most likely culprit. The BCM is the central nervous system for your vehicle’s body electronics, and its failure can lead to a host of frustrating and seemingly unrelated problems. This OEM-quality, VIN-programmed BCM is the definitive, hassle-free solution to restore your truck’s full functionality.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2009 Silverado 1500 in the shop where the owner had already replaced the BCM twice from a junkyard, but the power locks and radio would still act up intermittently. The issue wasn’t the modules; it was a weak ground connection on the driver-side A-pillar. Before installing this new module, take 5 minutes to check and clean the main BCM ground. It can save you from a major headache and prevent damage to your new part.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Unresponsive or intermittently working power windows, door locks, or mirrors.
- ✔ Interior dome lights or exterior lights that won’t turn on or stay on.
- ✔ HVAC and climate control systems not functioning correctly or blower motor issues.
- ✔ An illuminated airbag warning light, often accompanied by Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) B1001.
- ✔ Vehicle security system acting erratically, leading to no-start or stalling conditions.
- ✔ Windshield wipers that operate on their own or fail to respond.
- ✔ A cluster of seemingly unrelated electrical DTCs stored in the system.

Installation & Required Procedures
The BCM is located under the driver-side dashboard near the steering column. While installation is a simple plug-in process, please note that if the airbag warning light is on after installation, a professional scan tool is required to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to sync the systems. This is a simple step for any qualified technician. Best of all, there is no core charge, so you can keep your old part.
