Restore Your GM Truck’s Electrical System and Get Back to Work
Is your Silverado, Savana, or Sierra suffering from baffling electrical issues? Flickering lights, unresponsive power windows, a dead instrument cluster, or a security light that prevents your engine from starting are all classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). These problems aren’t just an annoyance; they mean vehicle downtime, which costs you time and money. This fully programmed 15194169 BCM is the definitive, hassle-free solution to get your reliable workhorse back on the road, operating exactly as it should.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM & Your Solution
A faulty BCM can create a host of frustrating problems that may seem unrelated. If your vehicle is experiencing any of the following, a replacement module is the most likely fix:
- No-Start Condition: The engine cranks but won’t start, often accompanied by a flashing security or lock symbol on the dash (PassLock/PassKey system fault).
- Power Accessory Malfunctions: Erratic or non-working power windows, door locks, interior lights, or radio.
- Instrument Cluster Problems: Gauges behaving erratically or not working at all, or warning lights staying on incorrectly.
- HVAC Control Issues: Blower motor or climate controls not responding properly.
- Rapid Battery Drain: The BCM fails to let other modules ‘sleep’ when the vehicle is off, causing a parasitic draw that kills your battery.
Instead of paying for expensive diagnostic fees and dealership programming, our programmed 15194169 BCM arrives ready for installation. We flash the module with the latest GM software updates using your vehicle’s VIN, ensuring it communicates perfectly with your truck’s existing systems right out of the box.

Expert Insight: The Critical Role of VIN Programming
On these 2003-2007 GM vehicles, the BCM is the central hub for the anti-theft system (PassLock). Simply swapping in a used module from another truck will result in a no-start condition because the security credentials won’t match. Our professional VIN programming service pre-loads your vehicle’s specific security information onto the module *before* it ships. This crucial step is what makes for a smooth installation, saving you from a tow to the dealer and hundreds in programming fees.
Guaranteed Vehicle Compatibility
This module is a direct replacement for the following part numbers: 15167329, 15194169, 15747545, 15136224, 15116065, 15198115, 15136876, 10367689. It is confirmed to fit a wide range of GM models, including:

Please verify your part number and check the detailed fitment list to ensure compatibility with your specific vehicle options (e.g., transmission type).
What to Expect After Installation
While our goal is a plug-and-drive experience, some vehicles may require a simple relearn procedure. Please be aware of the following possibilities:
- Airbag Light: If the airbag warning light is on after installation, a professional scan tool is needed to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to sync the modules.
- Brake Pedal Position: In some cases, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be necessary for proper brake light and traction control function.
These procedures are straightforward for any qualified technician with a professional-grade diagnostic tool.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the programming process work?
It’s simple. After you place your order, you will need to provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. Our technicians use this VIN to download the latest official GM calibration file for your specific vehicle and flash it onto the BCM before shipping it to you.
Is this a difficult part to install?
For someone with basic mechanical skills, the installation is manageable. The BCM is typically located under the steering column on trucks or in the center dash on vans. It involves disconnecting the battery, removing a few trim panels, and swapping the electrical connectors. The key is that our programming saves you the most difficult part – the electronic setup.
Will this fix my ‘Security’ light and no-start problem?
Yes, a faulty BCM is the most common cause of PassLock anti-theft system issues on these GM models. A properly programmed 15194169 BCM is the correct fix for this specific problem, as it restores communication between your ignition key, the BCM, and the engine computer.
Do I need to send my old BCM back?
No. We do not require you to return your original module. There is no core charge associated with this purchase, which simplifies the process for you.
What if I still have problems after installation?
First, check if your vehicle requires one of the post-installation procedures mentioned above (like the airbag sync). If issues persist, it’s possible there is another fault in the vehicle. However, your purchase is protected. This unit is backed by our one-year replacement warranty.
