When your GM truck or van starts acting possessed with electrical gremlins, it’s not just an annoyance—it’s a threat to your workday and your peace of mind. Flickering lights, unresponsive power windows, a security system that prevents you from starting, or a dashboard that’s completely dead are all signs that your Body Control Module (BCM) has failed. This isn’t just a part; it’s the nerve center for your vehicle’s accessories and security. Get your truck back to being the reliable workhorse you depend on with our pre-programmed BCM solution, designed for a straightforward installation.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM & Your Direct-Fit Solution

- Intermittent or non-working power windows, door locks, and interior lights.
- The security or anti-theft light stays on, causing a no-crank, no-start condition.
- Instrument cluster gauges behaving erratically or not working at all.
- HVAC (heater and A/C) controls are unresponsive.
- Communication error codes (U-codes) stored in the system.
This Programmed 15167329 BCM is the definitive solution to restore order. We take the guesswork and dealership hassle out of the equation.

Expert Insight: The BCM’s Role in Your Work Vehicle
As a technician, I’ve seen countless hours and dollars wasted chasing electrical problems that all led back to the BCM. A failing Body Control Module in a Savana or Silverado doesn’t just mean the radio won’t work; it can mean the truck won’t start after a fuel stop, leaving you stranded. It’s the central traffic controller for all the modules that aren’t directly related to the engine. By providing a properly Programmed 15167329 BCM, we’re not just selling a part—we’re providing a reliable repair that gets you back on the road and back to work without the typical dealership runaround.
Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does the Body Control Module do?
The BCM is a computer that supervises and controls your vehicle’s body-related functions. This includes power windows, power locks, the anti-theft system, interior and exterior lighting, wipers, and the instrument panel. When it fails, these systems can become erratic or stop working entirely.
Why do you need my VIN to program the BCM?
Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) allows us to load the exact software and calibrations specific to your truck’s options and features. This ensures all systems communicate correctly after installation, making the module a true plug-and-play component and preventing compatibility issues.
Is this part difficult to install?
For someone with basic mechanical skills, the physical installation is straightforward. The BCM is typically located under the dash on the driver’s side. The main challenge is usually the programming, which we handle for you. However, as noted, some vehicles may require a simple relearn procedure for the airbag or brake systems with a scan tool after installation.
What if the airbag light is on after I install the new BCM?
This is a known possibility. The BCM and the airbag module (SDM) communicate for security. If the light appears, a technician will need to perform a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure with a professional-grade scan tool to sync the two modules. This is a quick procedure for any competent shop.
Do I have to send my old BCM back?
No. This product has no core charge. You can keep or dispose of your original module without any extra fees or hassle.
Will this Programmed 15167329 BCM fix my specific issue?
This module is the direct solution for failures within the BCM itself, which cause a wide array of electrical symptoms. While it resolves the most common issues listed, you should always ensure your vehicle’s wiring and other components are in good condition. If you’re unsure, consulting with a professional technician is always a good idea.
