2008 – 2012 Chevrolet EXPRESS 3500 BCM (BCM) 15819552 – Programmed to Your VIN
Ever dealt with erratic door locks or dashboard lights flickering on your 2008-2012 Chevrolet Express 3500 during a long haul? These headaches often stem from a faulty Body Control Module, disrupting everything from power accessories to security systems. Our pre-programmed BCM, part number 15819552, arrives ready for your van, flashed with the latest GM updates using your VIN for a perfect match. It replaces multiple OEM numbers like 10382479, 15093910, and others, ensuring broad compatibility across GM vehicles. This direct solution restores reliable operation, preventing downtime and costly towing. In my two decades fixing these vans, I’ve seen how a fresh BCM transforms intermittent electrical gremlins into smooth performance, especially under heavy loads.

Common Issues & How This Fixes Them
Owners of 2008-2012 Chevrolet Express 3500 vans frequently encounter BCM-related problems that can sideline your workhorse. One common issue is malfunctioning power door locks or windows, often triggered by internal circuit failures or water intrusion—think rainy deliveries where moisture seeps in and shorts components. This leads to frustrating lockouts or stuck windows, and it might throw DTC B1370 for device ignition issues. Replacing with our programmed BCM resolves this by restoring proper signal relay, as I’ve diagnosed in countless shop scenarios where a quick swap fixed the root cause without chasing wiring ghosts. Another headache is erratic interior lighting or horn failures, commonly linked to corrupted software in aging modules, especially after battery drains. This can manifest as DTC U0100 for lost communication, disrupting safety features during night shifts. Our unit, updated via VIN, recalibrates these functions, ensuring lights respond reliably. Security system glitches, like false theft alarms or no-start conditions, arise from degraded anti-theft programming—picture your van refusing to crank after a jump start. This BCM reinstalls fresh protocols, often clearing DTC B2960. From my experience, these fixes prevent escalation to full electrical overhauls, saving hours and hundreds in labor. Finally, intermittent wiper or accessory power loss, tied to relay degradation, gets a solid reboot with this module, enhancing daily drivability for high-mileage vans.
Easy Installation Guide
- Provide your VIN after purchase so we can program the BCM with the latest GM updates before shipping.
- Disconnect the battery to ensure safety and prevent electrical surges during the swap.
- Locate the BCM in the center dash area of your Express 3500—remove any panels carefully to access it.
- Unplug the old module, connect the new one, and secure it in place, double-checking all connectors for a firm fit.
- Reconnect the battery and perform a system check; if a no-start occurs due to theft deterrent, initiate relearn by inserting the key, turning to ON for 10 minutes, then OFF for 30 seconds—repeat three times or until the security light extinguishes.
- Test all functions like lights, locks, and accessories to confirm full operation.
