Restore Your Truck’s Electrical System and Get Back on the Road
Are you dealing with frustrating electrical gremlins in your GM truck or SUV?

Expert Insight: From the Technician’s Bench
For years, we’ve seen these late 90s and early 2000s GM trucks come into the shop with bizarre electrical issues that drive owners crazy. The BCM is the central hub for all the body electronics, and when it starts to fail, it can make a perfectly good truck feel unreliable. The biggest hurdle was always the programming. Before solutions like this, you’d have to install the new part, have the vehicle towed to a dealer, and pay them a hefty fee just to make it work. This pre-programmed module changes the game, turning a major repair into a manageable DIY job for any confident owner. It’s the exact solution we’d recommend to our own customers to get their trusted workhorse back in service quickly and affordably.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Body Control Module (BCM) do?
The BCM is essentially the brain for your vehicle’s electronic accessories. It controls functions that aren’t related to the engine, such as power windows, door locks, interior and exterior lighting, the security system, and the instrument panel gauges.
Why do you need my VIN number?
Your vehicle’s VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) is crucial because it allows us to program the BCM with the exact software and settings for your specific model, year, and options. This ensures all features work correctly right out of the box, making the installation process as simple as possible.
Is this part difficult to install?
For most of the listed vehicles, the BCM is located under the driver’s side or center of the dashboard and is accessible with basic hand tools. While the physical replacement is straightforward, we always recommend disconnecting the battery first. If you are not comfortable working around vehicle wiring, we suggest consulting a qualified technician.
What if the airbag light comes on after installation?
In some cases, the new BCM may need to be synced with the airbag system (SDM). This is a simple procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ that can be performed with a professional-grade scan tool. It’s only necessary if the airbag warning light is on after you’ve installed the new module.
Will this Programmed 16257125 BCM fix my specific problem?
This module is the direct solution for the symptoms listed above, which are classic indicators of BCM failure in these GM vehicles. By providing a module that is both a hardware and software match, it restores the intended function of your vehicle’s body electronics.
