Is Your Vehicle Plagued by Bizarre Electrical Problems?
Are you dealing with flickering dashboard lights, power windows with a mind of their own, or a security system that randomly acts up? These frustrating and unpredictable issues often point to one culprit: a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it starts to fail, it can cause a cascade of confusing problems. Stop chasing electrical gremlins and restore your vehicle’s proper function with our fully programmed BCM, a direct-fit solution designed to get you back on the road with confidence.

Expert Insight: The BCM as Your Vehicle’s ‘Nervous System’
Think of the BCM as the central nervous system for everything in your vehicle that isn’t directly related to the engine. It takes inputs from dozens of switches (like your window switch or headlight knob) and sensors, and sends commands to operate everything from your interior dome light to your door locks. Because it’s connected to so many different circuits, a single fault inside the BCM can create a wide array of seemingly unrelated symptoms. That’s why replacing it with a properly functioning, correctly programmed unit like this Programmed 15948438 Body Control Module is the most effective way to solve these complex electrical issues permanently.
Take control of your vehicle’s health and fix those annoying electrical issues for good. By ordering our Programmed 15948438 Body Control Module, you’re not just buying a part; you’re buying a complete, ready-to-install solution that restores the reliability and functionality you depend on every day.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need to provide my VIN?
Your vehicle’s VIN is essential because it allows us to flash the Body Control Module with the exact software and settings specific to your car’s options and features. This pre-programming makes the installation process much simpler and ensures all systems communicate correctly, avoiding the need for dealer-level programming tools.
Is this a difficult part to install?
For someone with moderate mechanical experience, the physical installation is typically straightforward. The BCM is usually located under the dashboard on the driver’s or passenger’s side. The main challenge is typically access, not the complexity of the connections. However, we always recommend consulting a service manual for your specific vehicle or seeking help from a qualified technician if you are unsure.
Will I need to perform any procedures after installation?
In some cases, yes. Depending on your specific model, you may need a professional scan tool to perform a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure if the airbag light comes on, or a ‘Brake Pedal Position Relearn’. These are standard procedures for ensuring all related safety systems are properly synced with the new BCM.
How can I be sure the BCM is my problem?
While the symptoms listed are strong indicators of a failing BCM, a proper diagnosis from a professional technician is the best way to be 100% certain. This often involves checking for specific diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and testing the BCM’s communication network.
Does this module require me to send my old one back?
No. This BCM is sold without a core charge. You are not required to return your original module, which saves you the time and cost of return shipping.
