From the Technician’s Bench: The Real Cost of a Bad BCM
I’ve seen it a hundred times. A contractor brings in his 2005 Silverado 2500. The blower motor is dead, but he’s already replaced it. The power locks only work with the passenger side switch. He’s spent hours chasing wires and swapping relays, losing valuable time and money. The real culprit? A failing BCM. The issue isn’t just the parts; it’s the diagnostic headache and the vehicle downtime. Our Programmed 10383536 Body Control Module solves the root problem instantly. For that contractor, it meant no more guesswork and getting his work truck back on the road the same day. That’s the real value: a fast, certain repair that lets you get back to what matters.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this BCM really plug-and-play?
Yes. We program the module to the VIN you provide during checkout. This ensures it communicates correctly with your vehicle’s other systems right out of the box, eliminating the need for a trip to the dealer for expensive programming.
Do I need to send my old BCM back?
No. There is no core charge for this part. You can keep your old module, which simplifies the repair process and saves you the hassle and cost of return shipping.
What if my airbag light stays on after installation?
In some cases, if the airbag light is on, a procedure called “Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM” may need to be performed with a professional scan tool. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system. This is a simple procedure for any qualified technician.
Where is the BCM located on my truck or SUV?
On most compatible models like the Sierra, Silverado, and Tahoe, the BCM is located under the driver’s side of the dashboard, near the steering column. Installation typically takes less than 15 minutes with basic tools.
How can I be sure this fits my vehicle?
Please check the detailed fitment list on this page. The most reliable method is to match the part number from your original BCM to one of the interchangeable numbers listed, such as 10383536, 15116066, or 15136225. This ensures a perfect match.
