Restore Your Truck’s Electrical Functions
Are you battling frustrating electrical problems in your GM truck or SUV? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, erratic dashboard warnings, or a security system that won’t cooperate are all classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it starts to fail, it can create a cascade of confusing and unpredictable issues. This replacement Body Control Module, part number 22846365, is the definitive solution to restore full functionality and peace of mind to your driving experience.
This isn’t just a part in a box. We provide a complete, ready-to-install solution. Upon purchase, simply provide us with your vehicle’s VIN. Our technicians will then program the module with the latest official GM software specific to your truck’s exact configuration. This critical service means you can bypass the expensive and time-consuming trip to the dealership for programming. The module arrives at your door, ready for a straightforward installation.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Intermittent or non-working power windows, door locks, or interior lights.
- ✔ Horn honking unexpectedly or not working at all.
- ✔ False warnings on the instrument cluster (e.g., “Service 4WD,” “Service StabiliTrak”).
- ✔ Headlights, taillights, or turn signals behaving erratically.
- ✔ Problems with the vehicle’s security system or keyless entry.
- ✔ Unexplained battery drain when the vehicle is parked.
- ✔ Communication errors with other modules when scanned with a diagnostic tool.
The Right Solution for Your Silverado 3500 BCM
Choosing the correct part is crucial for a successful repair. This module is a direct replacement for part numbers 22846365, 22737275, and 22846364. It is designed to fit a wide range of 2012-2014 GM vehicles, including the Chevrolet Silverado, GMC Sierra, Tahoe, Suburban, Yukon, Escalade, and more. By providing your VIN, you guarantee that the software loaded onto the module perfectly matches the options and features your vehicle was built with from the factory.
Installation and Post-Install Considerations
The BCM is typically located under the driver’s side of the dashboard, near the steering column. While the physical replacement is straightforward for a DIYer with basic tools, some post-installation steps may be necessary. Depending on your specific vehicle, you may encounter an airbag warning light or need to recalibrate the brake pedal position sensor. These are simple synchronization procedures that can be completed with a professional-grade bidirectional scan tool. Please review the following potential requirements:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag light is on after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure is required to sync the new BCM with the airbag system’s Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM).
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: A recalibration of the brake pedal position sensor might be needed to ensure correct brake light operation and stability control function.
By ordering this pre-programmed Silverado 3500 BCM, you are taking the most efficient and reliable step toward resolving your vehicle’s electrical issues. Eliminate the guesswork and get back on the road with confidence.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to take this BCM to a dealer for programming?
No. This is the primary benefit of our service. We program the module to your vehicle’s specific VIN before we ship it to you. It arrives ready for installation, saving you hundreds in dealership programming fees.
What is a VIN and why do you need it?
The VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) is a unique 17-digit code for your vehicle. It contains information about the manufacturer, model year, and the specific options your vehicle was built with. We use the VIN to load the exact correct software and calibrations for your truck’s features.
Where is the BCM located on my truck?
On most 2012-2014 GM trucks and SUVs like the Silverado and Sierra, the Body Control Module is located under the driver’s side dashboard, typically to the left of the steering column.
What happens if my airbag light is on after I install the new BCM?
This is a normal security procedure. The new BCM needs to be electronically ‘introduced’ to the airbag module (SDM). A mechanic with a professional scan tool can perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure in a few minutes to turn off the light.
Is this part compatible with other part numbers?
Yes, this module is a direct replacement for part numbers 22737275, 22846365, and 22846364. It covers a wide range of GM trucks and SUVs from this era.
