Restore Full Electrical Function to Your GM Vehicle
Are you battling frustrating electrical gremlins in your truck or SUV? Flickering lights, unresponsive power windows, a malfunctioning security system, or a dead HVAC blower are all classic 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 and disruptive issues. This genuine GM Body Control Module, part number 25844480, is the definitive solution for a wide range of 2007-2013 General Motors vehicles, including the Cadillac Escalade, Chevrolet Silverado, and GMC Sierra.
Is Your Vehicle Showing These Symptoms?
- ✔ Intermittent or non-working power windows, door locks, or interior/exterior lights.
- ✔ HVAC controls are unresponsive, or the blower motor works sporadically.
- ✔ The security system acts up, potentially causing no-start or stalling conditions.
- ✔ An airbag warning light is illuminated on the dash, often with DTC B1001.
- ✔ Multiple, seemingly unrelated diagnostic trouble codes are stored in the system.
The Plug-and-Play Solution for Your Escalade Body Control Module
Dealerships often require expensive programming sessions after a new module is installed. We eliminate that step entirely. We pre-program this BCM directly to your vehicle’s unique Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) before it ships. This ensures that it arrives ready for a true plug-and-play installation. It will have the latest GM software updates and will communicate seamlessly with your vehicle’s other electronic systems right out of the box, saving you time, money, and a trip to the dealer.
Installation is straightforward for the average DIY mechanic, typically taking less than 15 minutes. The module is located under the driver’s side dashboard, near the steering column. Once installed, some vehicles may require a simple relearn procedure. For example, if the airbag warning light remains on, a professional scan tool is needed to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ function. Similarly, a Brake Pedal Position Relearn might be necessary to ensure proper brake light operation. These procedures are simple for any qualified technician.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Body Control Module (BCM) do?
The BCM acts as the central computer for your vehicle’s body electronics. It controls non-engine related functions like power windows, door locks, the security system, interior and exterior lighting, wipers, and the HVAC system.
Why is VIN programming so important for a BCM?
VIN programming loads your vehicle’s specific software and configurations onto the module. Without it, the BCM won’t recognize your vehicle’s features, leading to system malfunctions or a complete failure to operate. Our pre-programming service makes the part ready to install immediately.
Is this part difficult to install?
The physical installation is very simple, usually involving a few electrical connectors and mounting bolts under the dashboard. It typically takes under 15 minutes. However, post-install procedures like an airbag system sync may require a professional scan tool.
What if my airbag light is on after I install the new BCM?
This is a common security measure. You will need a qualified technician with an advanced diagnostic tool to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system and turns off the light.
Do I need to return my old BCM?
No, there is no core charge for this part. You can keep your old module without any extra fees or hassle.
