Restore Your Vehicle’s Electrical System with a Plug-and-Play Solution
Are you battling frustrating electrical gremlins in your truck or SUV? Flickering interior lights, malfunctioning power windows, erratic door locks, or a security system that has a mind of its own are all classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). Don’t let these issues compromise your vehicle’s reliability. This professionally programmed 19153625 body control module is the definitive, hassle-free solution to get your vehicle back in perfect working order.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
If you’re experiencing any of the following, a faulty BCM is the likely culprit:
- Power windows, locks, or mirrors working intermittently or not at all.
- Interior dome lights or dashboard lights staying on or not turning on.
- The horn honking unexpectedly or the security alarm acting up.
- Inaccurate readings on the instrument cluster gauges.
- Communication errors with other vehicle modules (often showing as U-series DTCs).
Instead of buying a used module that requires an expensive trip to the dealership for programming, this unit arrives ready for installation. We flash the module with the latest GM software updates using your vehicle’s specific VIN, ensuring perfect compatibility and function right out of the box.

An Expert’s Insight: Why a Pre-Programmed BCM is the Smart Choice
As a technician, I’ve seen countless owners of these otherwise rock-solid GM trucks get frustrated by bizarre electrical problems. The BCM is the vehicle’s central hub for body electronics, and after 20+ years, the original capacitors and solder joints simply start to fail. Grabbing a module from a salvage yard might seem cheap, but it’s a gamble. It could have the same issues as your old one, and it absolutely will not work until it’s programmed by a dealer, adding significant cost. This programmed 19153625 body control module bypasses all that uncertainty. It’s a new lease on life for your vehicle’s electronics, ensuring all those creature comforts you rely on work exactly as they should.
Important Post-Installation Information
To ensure a smooth process, please be aware of these potential post-installation procedures. While not always required, they are sometimes necessary to fully sync the new module with your vehicle’s other systems.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure must be performed with a professional scan tool. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag module.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be necessary for proper brake light and traction control operation.
We always recommend consulting a factory service manual or a qualified technician if you are unsure about these steps.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I provide my VIN for programming?
After you complete your purchase, simply send us a message with your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship the module until we receive your VIN, as the programming is specific to your vehicle.
What does the Body Control Module (BCM) actually do?
The BCM is a computer that supervises and controls many of your vehicle’s non-engine-related functions. This includes power windows, door locks, interior and exterior lighting, the anti-theft system, wipers, and more. When it fails, these systems can behave erratically.
Is this a difficult part to install?
For most of the compatible vehicles (like the S10, Blazer, Silverado, and Sierra), the BCM is located under the dash, typically near the center or on the driver’s side. Installation involves disconnecting the battery, removing a few trim panels, and swapping the electrical connectors. It is generally considered a manageable job for a DIYer with basic tools.
Will this fix my specific electrical problem?
This programmed 19153625 body control module is the direct solution for issues caused by a failed BCM. If you are experiencing multiple, unrelated electrical accessory failures as described in the symptoms list, it is highly likely that this part will resolve them.
What if my airbag light comes on after installation?
This is a known possibility and does not indicate a faulty part. It simply means the new BCM needs to be electronically ‘introduced’ to your vehicle’s airbag module (SDM). A repair shop with a professional-grade scan tool can perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure in a few minutes to turn off the light.
