End Electrical Frustration and Get Your Truck Back on the Road
Are strange electrical problems in your GM truck or van causing major headaches? Flickering dashboard lights, power windows with a mind of their own, a security system that won’t cooperate, or a vehicle that refuses to start are all classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM).

Expert Insight: The BCM as Your Truck’s Nerve Center
Think of the BCM as the central nervous system for everything in your truck’s cabin that isn’t directly related to the engine. It takes inputs from dozens of switches (like your window switch or headlight knob) and sensors, then sends commands to the corresponding components. When it starts to fail, its signals can become scrambled. That’s why you might see a dome light issue seemingly related to a door lock problem—they’re both managed by the BCM. Replacing a faulty BCM doesn’t just fix one problem; it restores order to the entire electrical network, which is why this Programmed 15136224 BCM is such an effective and complete repair.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to send you my old BCM?
No. There is absolutely no core charge for this part. You can keep your original module after completing the installation.
How do I provide my VIN for programming?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. We cannot ship your order until we receive this information, as the programming is essential for the part to function correctly in your vehicle.
Is this a difficult part to install?
For someone with basic mechanical skills, the physical installation is straightforward. The BCM is typically located under the steering column or in the center dash area. The main benefit of our service is that the complex programming is already done for you, making it a plug-and-play process.
What if my airbag light comes on after installation?
In some cases, the new BCM may need to be synced with the airbag system (SDM). This is a simple procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ that can be performed by any professional shop with a compatible high-end diagnostic tool. This is only necessary if the airbag warning light is on after the new BCM is installed.
Will any other procedures be necessary after installation?
Depending on your specific model, a Brake Pedal Position Relearn might be needed to ensure proper brake light and traction control operation. As with the airbag sync, this is a quick procedure that can be done with a professional scan tool. Always consult a service manual for your specific vehicle for any potential post-installation requirements.
