Is Your GM Truck or Van Plagued by Bizarre Electrical Problems?
If you’re dealing with flickering lights, power windows with a mind of their own, or a security system that randomly acts up, you’re not alone. These frustrating and unpredictable issues often point to a single culprit: a failing Body Control Module (BCM). As the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics, a faulty BCM can make your reliable workhorse feel untrustworthy. This pre-programmed BCM is the definitive, no-hassle solution to restore order and get your truck or van operating exactly as it should.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A failing BCM can manifest in numerous ways, often starting as minor annoyances before becoming major problems. If you recognize any of these symptoms, it’s time for a replacement:
- Intermittent or non-working power windows, door locks, and mirrors.
- Erratic interior or exterior lighting behavior.
- Malfunctioning windshield wipers or climate controls.
- The security or anti-theft system preventing the engine from starting.
- False warning messages on the instrument cluster, like “Service Vehicle Soon.”
This module is the direct answer to those problems. We take the guesswork out of the repair by providing a quality-tested programmed 15167329 BCM that is flashed specifically to your vehicle’s VIN before it leaves our facility. This critical step ensures that the module communicates perfectly with your truck’s existing systems, saving you a costly and time-consuming trip to the dealership for programming.

Expert Insight: The Brains of the Operation
Think of the BCM as the vehicle’s central nervous system for everything inside the cabin. It doesn’t control the engine, but it manages dozens of other functions you use every day—from the chime that reminds you to buckle up to the power locks you use to secure your tools. When it fails, communication breaks down, leading to chaos. That’s why simply installing a used, non-programmed module is a recipe for disaster. Our VIN-specific flashing process for this programmed 15167329 BCM ensures all those communication pathways are correctly re-established, making the installation process as smooth as possible.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a BCM and what does it do?
The Body Control Module (BCM) is a computer in your vehicle that controls and monitors a wide range of electronic accessories not related to the engine. This includes power windows, door locks, interior and exterior lighting, wipers, the security system, and instrument panel warnings.
How do I know if my BCM is failing?
Common signs of a failing BCM include erratic or non-functional electronic accessories, false warning lights on the dash, issues with the anti-theft system, and sometimes even battery drain. If multiple, unrelated electrical components are acting up, the BCM is a likely cause.
Is this BCM difficult to install?
For someone with moderate mechanical experience, the physical installation is straightforward. The BCM is typically located under the steering column or in the center dash area. Since we pre-program the module, you avoid the most complex part of the job. However, some vehicles may require a simple relearn procedure after installation.
What happens after I place my order?
After you complete your purchase, you must provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. We cannot ship the module until we have this information. Once we receive your VIN, our technicians will program the BCM with the correct software and data for your specific vehicle before shipping it to you.
What are the post-installation procedures?
In some cases, additional steps may be needed. If your airbag light comes on, an “Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM” procedure is required. A Brake Pedal Position Relearn may also be necessary. These procedures typically require a professional-grade scan tool.
Will this fix my “Service Vehicle Soon” light?
If the “Service Vehicle Soon” light is being caused by a fault within the Body Control Module, then yes, this programmed 15167329 BCM is designed to correct the issue and, once any related codes are cleared, turn off the light.
