Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need to provide my VIN?
Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) allows us to program the Body Control Module with the exact software and settings for your vehicle’s specific options and configuration. This step is crucial for ensuring all electronic features work correctly after installation.
Is this a true plug-and-play installation?
Because we pre-program the module, it is nearly plug-and-play. However, in some vehicles, specific post-installation procedures like a ‘Brake Pedal Position Relearn’ or an ‘Airbag System Sync’ may be required using a professional scan tool if certain warning lights appear. This is standard for BCM replacement.
How do I find the BCM in my Express Van?
In most Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana vans from this era, the BCM is located behind the dashboard, typically in the center dash area. Always disconnect the battery before attempting to access or replace any electronic modules.
Will this fix my specific electrical problem?
This BCM is a direct solution for failures within the module itself, which cause the symptoms listed above. While it solves the vast majority of these issues, you should always ensure your vehicle’s wiring and related components are in good condition. This part is a critical component of a proper diagnosis and repair.
What if my original part number isn’t on your list?
The provided list covers many, but not all, compatible part numbers. If you don’t see your exact number, please contact us with your VIN. We can verify compatibility to ensure you receive the correct module for your vehicle.
What does the warranty cover?
This unit is backed by our one-year replacement warranty, which covers the part against defects in function or workmanship for one year from the date of purchase.
