Fix Frustrating Electrical Problems in Your GM Vehicle
Are strange electrical gremlins plaguing your Buick Enclave, GMC Acadia, or Chevy Traverse? Flickering lights, malfunctioning windows, a security system that acts up, or even a no-start condition can often be traced back to 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 frustrating issues. This module is the definitive, hassle-free solution to restore your vehicle’s electrical systems to perfect working order.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
If you’re experiencing any of the following, a faulty BCM is the likely culprit:
- Power windows, door locks, or mirrors operating erratically or not at all.
- Interior or exterior lights staying on, flickering, or not turning on.
- The security system or keyless entry malfunctioning.
- Warning lights on the dashboard (like the airbag light) appearing for no reason.
- Communication error codes (U-codes) when scanning the vehicle.
- Engine starting issues or intermittent stalling related to the anti-theft system.
This replacement Body Control Module is engineered to solve these problems directly. We take the guesswork and extra expense out of the repair by pre-programming the unit to your vehicle’s specific VIN number before it ships. This means no extra trips to the dealership for costly programming.

Expert Insight: The BCM as Your Car’s Nervous System
Think of the BCM as the vehicle’s central nervous system. It doesn’t control the engine, but it manages almost everything else you interact with dailyโfrom the chime that reminds you to buckle up to the power locks that keep you secure. When it fails, communication breaks down. Our key service is programming the BCM before we ship it. This saves you from the typical repair process: buying the part, installing it, and then having your vehicle towed to a dealer for a mandatory (and expensive) programming session. We handle the complex part so you can get back on the road faster.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Body Control Module (BCM)?
The Body Control Module is a computer in your vehicle responsible for monitoring and controlling various electronic accessories, such as power windows, mirrors, air conditioning, central locking, and lighting. It’s essential for the proper operation of your car’s comfort and convenience features.
Do I need to do any programming myself?
No. We program the module to your car’s VIN before shipping. This makes the installation process much simpler. However, depending on your specific model, certain relearn procedures, like for the brake pedal position sensor or airbag system, may be required after installation using a professional scan tool.
How do I provide my VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship your order until we receive this information, as it is required for programming.
What if my airbag light is on after installation?
If the airbag warning light is on after you install the new BCM, it means the BCM and the airbag’s SDM (Sensing and Diagnostic Module) need to be synchronized. A technician with a high-level scan tool will need to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to resolve this.
Is this a direct fit for my vehicle?
Yes, this part is a direct replacement for the extensive list of part numbers provided in the description. By programming it to your VIN, we ensure it functions correctly for your specific make, model, and options package.
What if my original part number isn’t on the list?
Please contact us with your vehicle’s VIN and your original part number. GM often consolidates part numbers, and we can verify compatibility to ensure you receive the correct module for your vehicle.
