Restore Full Electrical Control to Your Vehicle
Are you dealing with flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, a faulty security system, or other strange electrical gremlins in your vehicle? These are classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM acts as the central nervous system for your car’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can cause a wide range of frustrating and unpredictable problems. This Body Control Module, part number 25892622, is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s electronic systems to factory-perfect operation.
We eliminate the most difficult part of the repair process: the programming. Simply provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN during checkout, and our experts will flash this module with the latest official GM software specific to your car. This means no expensive trips to the dealership for programming. It arrives at your door ready for a more straightforward installation, saving you time and money.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2012 Caprice PPV in the shop where the instrument cluster lights would randomly turn off while driving, and the key fob would only work intermittently. After confirming power and ground at the BCM connector, we knew the internal logic had failed. Swapping in a VIN-programmed BCM like this one resolved all the issues in under an hour. It’s a common failure point, and a pre-programmed module is the fastest path to a reliable fix.
Diagnosing a Faulty 2011-2013 Caprice BCM
A failing BCM can manifest in numerous ways. If you’re experiencing any of the following, a faulty module is the likely culprit. This part is the direct solution for these issues.
Common Failure Symptoms
- ✔ Intermittent or non-working power windows, door locks, or mirrors.
- ✔ Erratic behavior from interior or exterior lights (staying on or not turning on).
- ✔ Instrument cluster gauges behaving strangely or warning lights appearing without cause.
- ✔ Malfunctions with the keyless entry or vehicle security system.
- ✔ Unexplained battery drain that kills the battery overnight.
- ✔ Horn honking randomly or not working at all.
- ✔ Communication errors with other vehicle modules when scanned with a diagnostic tool.
Plug-and-Play Solution
This module is a direct replacement for a wide range of original equipment part numbers, including 25892622, 20815898, 22860591, 20935349, and many others listed in the fitment guide. While our VIN programming makes this a plug-and-play part, some vehicles may require simple post-installation relearn procedures. For example, if the airbag light appears, a professional scan tool is needed to perform the “Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM” function. Similarly, a Brake Pedal Position relearn might be necessary. Always consult a factory service manual for your specific model’s requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to send my old BCM back?
No, there is no core charge for this part. You can keep your original module.
What is a BCM and what does it do?
The Body Control Module (BCM) is a computer in your vehicle that controls and monitors various electronic accessories, such as power windows, locks, lights, wipers, and the security system.
Is this part difficult to install?
The physical replacement is typically straightforward, often located under the dash. Since we pre-program it to your VIN, you avoid the complex step of dealership programming. However, some post-install relearn procedures may be needed.
How do I provide my VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. We cannot program or ship the module without it. Please follow the instructions provided after checkout.
What happens if my airbag light comes on after installation?
This is a known possibility. A professional scan tool is needed to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to sync the airbag system with the new BCM and turn off the light.
Will this fix my specific problem?
This module corrects issues directly caused by a faulty BCM. If you’re unsure, it’s always best to have a professional technician diagnose the vehicle to confirm the BCM is the root cause before ordering.
