Are you battling strange and frustrating electrical problems in your GMC Yukon XL, Chevy Silverado, or Cadillac Escalade? Intermittent wipers, malfunctioning power windows, or a dashboard lit up with warning lights often point to a single culprit: a failing Body Control Module (BCM). This module is the central nervous system for your vehicle’s comfort and convenience features. When it fails, it can make your reliable truck or SUV feel unpredictable. This VIN-programmed BCM is the definitive solution, designed to restore your vehicle’s electronics to perfect working order without a trip to the dealership.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2009 Silverado 2500 in the shop that was driving the owner crazy. The radio would change stations on its own, the dome lights would flicker, and sometimes the power locks wouldn’t respond. He’d already replaced the battery and checked the grounds. After a quick scan, we saw multiple communication codes pointing to the BCM. We installed one of our pre-programmed modules, and in less than 10 minutes, every single issue was resolved. It’s a common story for these GM trucks and SUVs, and a new BCM is almost always the fix.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Unresponsive or erratic power windows, door locks, and mirrors.
- ✔ HVAC and climate control systems not working correctly or at all.
- ✔ An active airbag warning light, often with a DTC B1001 code.
- ✔ Security system faults, causing no-start or stalling conditions.
- ✔ Exterior and interior lights that flicker, stay on, or won’t turn on.
- ✔ Wipers that operate randomly or won’t shut off.

We pre-program this module to your vehicle’s specific VIN, ensuring it integrates seamlessly with your existing systems the moment you plug it in. This eliminates the need for expensive dealer-only programming tools. Built to strict OEM standards, this 2007-2011 Yukon XL BCM provides a durable, long-lasting solution to persistent electrical gremlins. It directly replaces part numbers 15926094, 25844480, 25835966, 20939137, 22860591, and many others, making it a versatile fix for a wide range of GM trucks and SUVs.
Installation and Post-Install Procedures
Physically installing the BCM is straightforward. It’s typically located under the driver’s side dash near the steering column and can be swapped out in minutes with basic tools. While our VIN programming handles the majority of the setup, some vehicles may require a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure if the airbag light remains on. This is not a defect but a security handshake between the new BCM and the airbag system, which can be completed with a professional-grade scan tool. Similarly, a brake pedal position relearn may be needed. Best of all, there is no core charge, so you can keep your old part without any hassle.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Body Control Module do?
The BCM is a computer that controls most of your vehicle’s non-engine related electronics. This includes power windows, locks, lights, wipers, HVAC blower motor, and the security system.
Is this part difficult to install?
No, the physical installation is very simple. The BCM is usually located under the driver’s side dashboard and held in by a few clips or bolts. It typically takes less than 15 minutes to swap out.
Will I need to go to the dealer after installing this?
No. This BCM comes pre-programmed to your vehicle’s VIN. This means it’s ready for immediate installation without requiring any additional programming from a dealership, saving you time and money.
What if my airbag light is on after installation?
If the airbag light appears, it means the BCM needs to sync with the vehicle’s Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM). A technician with a professional scan tool can perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to resolve this.
Does this BCM fix a ‘Service Vehicle’ or security message?
Yes, a faulty BCM is a very common cause of security system errors, which can prevent the vehicle from starting. Replacing it with our programmed module will often resolve these issues immediately.
Is there a core charge for my old part?
No, there is no core charge. You are not required to send your old BCM back, making the replacement process simpler and more convenient for you.
