Is Your Work Truck Plagued by Electrical Gremlins?
When your GM truck or van is your livelihood, unpredictable electrical problems aren’t just an annoyanceโthey’re a threat to your schedule and your income. Flickering lights, dead power windows, or a security system that randomly prevents you from starting the engine can bring your workday to a grinding halt. These frustrating issues often point to one central culprit: a failing Body Control Module (BCM). Instead of wasting time and money on dealership diagnostics and programming fees, get the reliable, direct solution with our Programmed 15167329 BCM, designed to get you back on the road fast.

Expert Insight: The Cost of BCM Downtime
“I once worked with a plumbing contractor whose 2005 Savana van was becoming a real liability. The dome lights would stay on randomly, draining the battery overnight and making him late for his first job of the dayโtwice. He’d replaced the battery and checked for shorts, but the problem persisted. The issue was a classic BCM failure. By installing a VIN-specific Programmed 15167329 BCM, we had his van’s electrical system functioning perfectly in under an hour. For him, it wasn’t just about fixing the lights; it was about restoring the reliability of the most important tool in his business.”
Important Post-Installation Information
To ensure a smooth and successful installation, please be aware of the following potential procedures that may be required after the new BCM is installed. These are standard industry procedures for this type of repair.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a professional scan tool must be used to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be necessary to ensure proper brake light operation and traction control system function.
Disclaimer: Specific requirements can vary by vehicle. We always recommend consulting a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Body Control Module (BCM) do?
The BCM acts as the central computer for your vehicle’s body electronics. It controls non-engine related functions like power windows, locks, lights, security system, wipers, and the instrument cluster.
How do I know if my BCM is failing?
Common signs include erratic behavior of electronic accessories, such as lights flickering, windows not working, the security system acting up, or false warning lights on your dash. These symptoms are often intermittent at first and worsen over time.
Is this BCM difficult to install?
The physical installation is typically straightforward, involving removing trim panels to access the module (usually under the steering column or in the center dash) and swapping the electrical connectors. The most important part is that our Programmed 15167329 BCM arrives ready to go, saving you the complex step of dealer programming.
Do I need to send my old BCM back?
No. There is no core charge for this part. You can keep or dispose of your original module, simplifying the entire process for you.
What information do you need from me?
After you complete your purchase, you must provide us with your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This is essential for us to program the module specifically for your vehicle’s options and configuration before we ship it.
What if my airbag light is on after installation?
This is a known possibility. It simply means the new BCM needs to be electronically introduced to your vehicle’s airbag system. A qualified technician with a professional scan tool will need to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to sync the systems and turn off the light.
