Restore Full Functionality to Your GM Vehicle
Is your 2008-2012 Savana 2500 Van experiencing a host of bizarre electrical problems? From flickering dashboard lights and erratic power windows to a security system that won’t cooperate or even a frustrating no-start condition, a failing Body Control Module (BCM) is often the culprit. As the central nervous system for your vehicle’s body electronics, when the BCM goes down, it can feel like your reliable workhorse has developed a mind of its own. This replacement Body Control Module, part number 95151084, is the definitive solution to restore order and get your vehicle operating as it should.
Case Study: A Tricky Diagnosis
I once had a 2011 Express 2500 (which uses the same BCM platform) in my bay that was causing a local contractor major headaches. The complaint was intermittent: some days the power locks wouldn’t work, other days the interior lights would stay on, draining the battery overnight. He had already replaced the battery and checked all the fuses. After hooking up my scan tool, I found a slew of ‘Lost Communication with BCM’ codes (U0140). A visual inspection of the BCM, located in the center dash, revealed no obvious damage. However, by wiggling the main connector, I could replicate the fault. The issue wasn’t the wiring, but internal connection failures on the BCM’s circuit board—a common failure point I’ve seen on hundreds of these GM vans. This pre-programmed module is the exact fix we used to get his van back to work reliably the next day.
The Power of Our Cloning Service
Forget about expensive dealership visits and the hassle of programming a new module from scratch. Our unique cloning service makes this repair straightforward and accessible for both professional mechanics and DIY enthusiasts. Simply send us your vehicle’s original BCM after you place your order. We will transfer all the critical vehicle-specific data—including key information and option configurations—to this replacement unit. The module you receive back will be plug-and-play, already synced to your van. This process ensures a seamless installation and avoids the complex setup procedures required with a blank module.
Is Your Savana Van Showing These Electrical Gremlins?
- ✔ Power windows, door locks, or mirrors operating intermittently or not at all.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights flickering, staying on, or failing to turn on.
- ✔ The anti-theft or security system light is on, preventing the engine from starting.
- ✔ The radio or instrument cluster displays are acting erratically.
- ✔ Diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) related to communication failures, such as U0140, U0155, or B1001.
- ✔ Unpredictable battery drain when the vehicle is parked.
Your Straightforward BCM Installation Guide
- ✔ Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery and wait a few minutes to ensure all systems are powered down.
- ✔ Locate the BCM: On the 2008-2012 Savana 2500 Van, the BCM is typically located behind the center part of the dashboard, often near the radio or climate controls. Access may require removing some dash trim panels.
- ✔ Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors from the old BCM. They have locking tabs that need to be depressed. Once disconnected, unbolt or unclip the module from its mounting bracket.
- ✔ Install the New Module: Mount the replacement BCM securely onto the bracket and firmly reconnect all electrical connectors until they click into place.
- ✔ Reconnect Power: Re-attach the negative battery terminal.
- ✔ Verify Operation: Start the vehicle and test all body functions—lights, locks, windows, radio, etc.—to confirm the repair was successful.
Important Post-Installation Note: In some cases, additional steps may be required. If your airbag light is on, a professional scan tool is needed to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. A ‘Brake Pedal Position Relearn’ may also be necessary on certain models. Always consult a factory service manual for vehicle-specific details.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a cloning service?
Cloning is a process where we transfer the essential software and vehicle-specific data (like VIN, mileage, and key codes) from your original BCM to the replacement unit. This makes the new module a perfect electronic match for your vehicle, eliminating the need for dealer programming.
Why do you need my original BCM?
We need your original module to extract the unique data that allows your vehicle to function correctly. Without this data, a new BCM would not be able to communicate with the other computers in your van, resulting in a no-start condition or other system failures.
Do I get my old BCM back?
Yes, absolutely. Your original, non-working module is always returned to you along with the newly programmed replacement unit. We do not keep customer cores.
Is this a difficult part to install myself?
For someone with basic mechanical skills, the installation is very manageable. The main challenge is typically accessing the module’s location within the dashboard. Since our cloning service makes it plug-and-play, you avoid all the complex computer work.
What if my airbag light comes on after installation?
This can happen occasionally. It means the new BCM needs to be electronically introduced to the airbag system’s computer (SDM). This procedure, called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’, requires a professional-grade scan tool and can be performed by most independent repair shops.
