Is your 2011-2013 Chevrolet Caprice experiencing bizarre electrical issues? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, or random warning messages on the dash are common 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 wide range of frustrating problems. This replacement BCM, part number 25847589, is the direct solution to restore your vehicle’s functionality and peace of mind.
We make the replacement process as simple as possible. Unlike a trip to the dealership, which requires towing and expensive on-site programming, we program this module to your vehicle’s specific VIN before we ship it. This means it arrives ready for installation, loaded with the latest GM software updates to ensure optimal performance and reliability. Simply provide your VIN after purchase, and we’ll handle the rest.
Common Symptoms of a Failing 2011-2013 Caprice BCM
- ✔ Power windows, door locks, or mirrors operating erratically or not at all.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights flickering, staying on, or not turning on.
- ✔ The security system engaging randomly or preventing the car from starting.
- ✔ Inaccurate or non-functional gauges on the instrument cluster.
- ✔ Warning lights such as the airbag or traction control light illuminating.
- ✔ Remote keyless entry (RKE) failing to work.
Installation and Post-Install Procedures
Once you receive your pre-programmed BCM, installation is typically straightforward. However, due to the complexity of modern vehicle systems, a couple of additional steps, known as relearn procedures, may be required after the new module is installed.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is on after installation, it means the new BCM needs to be synced with the vehicle’s airbag system (SDM). A professional scan tool is needed to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to clear the light.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: Some models may require a brake pedal position sensor recalibration to ensure the brake lights and traction control system function correctly.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does the Body Control Module do?
The BCM acts as the main computer for your vehicle’s comfort and convenience features. It controls power windows, locks, lights, wipers, the security system, and more, by taking inputs from switches and sending commands to the various accessories.
Is this part truly plug-and-play?
Because we program the module to your VIN before shipping, it is as close to plug-and-play as possible. However, as noted above, some vehicles may require simple relearn procedures for the airbag or brake systems, which may require a professional scan tool.
How do I give you my VIN for programming?
After you complete your purchase, you will receive instructions on how to send us your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. We cannot ship your order until we receive and validate your VIN.
What if my part number isn’t 25847589 but is on the list?
Part number 25847589 is the latest iteration that supersedes all the other part numbers listed. If your module has one of the older numbers from the list, this part is the correct, updated replacement for your vehicle.
Do I need to return my old BCM?
No. There is no core charge for this part. You can keep your original module.
