Restore Full Electrical Function to Your GM Truck
Is your 2007-2011 Silverado 3500 or other GM truck plagued by bizarre electrical problems? From malfunctioning power windows and door locks to an unresponsive HVAC system or a persistent airbag light, a failing Body Control Module (BCM) is often the root cause. This module is the central command for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can create a cascade of frustrating issues. This genuine GM BCM, interchangeable with part number 25790508, is the reliable, plug-and-play solution to get your truck back to perfect working order.
Common Symptoms of a Failing 2007-2011 Silverado BCM
- ✔ Power windows, door locks, or mirrors operating intermittently or not at all.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights flickering, staying on, or failing to turn on.
- ✔ HVAC and climate control functions not working correctly (e.g., blower motor issues).
- ✔ Vehicle security system acting erratically, or the engine failing to start.
- ✔ Airbag warning light illuminated on the dash, often with DTC B1001.
- ✔ Unexplained battery drain when the vehicle is turned off.
- ✔ Wipers activating on their own or not working when commanded.
The Plug-and-Play Advantage: VIN Programming Included
Don’t waste time and money on a trip to the dealership. We pre-program this Body Control Module to your truck’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) before shipping. This ensures that it communicates perfectly with your vehicle’s other electronic systems right out of the box. The latest GM software is loaded, addressing common factory issues and ensuring optimal performance. This is the most efficient way to replace your faulty 2007-2011 Silverado BCM and restore all related functions without the need for expensive scan tools or programming services.
Installation and Post-Install Notes
The BCM is typically located under the driver’s side dashboard, near the steering column, making for a quick replacement that often takes less than 15 minutes. While the module is plug-and-play for most functions, please be aware of potential post-installation procedures:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light remains on after installation, a professional scan tool is required to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor relearn may be necessary to ensure correct brake light and traction control operation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does ‘VIN Programmed’ actually mean?
It means we flash the module with your vehicle’s unique 17-digit VIN and the latest GM software before it ships. This makes the module a direct, plug-and-play replacement, saving you a costly trip to the dealership for programming.
Where is the BCM located on my Silverado or Sierra?
The Body Control Module is typically found under the driver’s side of the dashboard, often attached to a junction block or bracket near the steering column.
Do I need to send my old part back?
No. There is no core charge for this part. You can keep or dispose of your old module without any hassle.
My airbag light is on after installing the new BCM. Is the part defective?
No, this is a normal security procedure. The new BCM needs to be electronically ‘introduced’ to the airbag system (SDM). This requires a bi-directional scan tool to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ function to clear the light.
Is this part compatible with other part numbers?
Yes, this BCM is a direct replacement for a wide range of part numbers, including 25844480, 25835966, 15940214, 25790508, 20939137, 22860591, and more. It is designed for a broad range of 2007-2013 GM trucks and SUVs.
