End Electrical Headaches & Restore Your Truck’s Functionality
Are you battling bizarre electrical issues in your GM truck or SUV? Flickering interior lights, power windows and locks with a mind of their own, or a security light that prevents your engine from starting can be incredibly frustrating. These aren’t random glitches; they’re classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). This vital computer is the central hub for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can make your reliable truck feel unpredictable. Get back in control with our pre-programmed BCM, the straightforward solution to restore your vehicle’s proper operation and your peace of mind.

If you’re experiencing any of the following, a faulty BCM is the most likely culprit. This module is the direct-fit, reliable fix for:
- Intermittent or non-working power windows, door locks, or mirrors
- Interior dome lights or dashboard lights staying on or not working at all
- The security or anti-theft light flashing, causing a no-start condition

- False warning lights or messages on the instrument cluster

Expert Insight: Why VIN Programming is Non-Negotiable
From over 20 years of hands-on diagnostics, I can tell you that on these late 90s/early 2000s GM vehicles, the BCM is the heart of the anti-theft system (VATS/Passlock). Simply swapping a BCM from another truck won’t work—the vehicle will not start. The BCM, PCM (engine computer), and ignition key are all linked. Our VIN programming service writes your truck’s unique security information onto this replacement BCM. This allows it to “shake hands” with the other modules, authorize ignition, and function correctly. By handling this complex step for you, we turn a potentially difficult repair into a manageable one for any skilled DIYer or independent shop.
By purchasing this 1999-2000 Silverado 1500 BCM, you’re not just buying a part; you’re buying a complete solution. We handle the complex programming so you can focus on the simple installation. Once you complete your purchase, simply send us your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN, and we’ll get your module shipped out, ready to get your truck back on the road and working reliably. Please note that while our programming handles the majority of the setup, some vehicles may require a simple airbag or brake sensor relearn procedure after installation, as detailed in the provided instructions.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a BCM do on my Silverado?
The Body Control Module (BCM) acts as the central computer for your truck’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 warnings.
Is this BCM truly plug-and-play?
Because we pre-program it to your VIN, it is as close to plug-and-play as possible. It will allow your truck to start and run, and the main functions will be restored. However, on some models, a final sync procedure for the airbag system (if the light comes on) or a brake pedal position relearn may be required using a diagnostic scan tool.
How do I provide my VIN?
After you place your order, please send us a message with your vehicle’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot program and ship your module without it. You can find your VIN on your vehicle’s registration, insurance card, or on the driver’s side of the dashboard visible through the windshield.
What if my airbag light comes on after installation?
This is a possibility. If the airbag warning light is on, it simply means the new BCM needs to be synced with the airbag’s computer (SDM). This is done with a common procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ which can be performed by most automotive shops with a professional scan tool.
Will this fix my flashing “Security” light and no-start problem?
Yes, in the vast majority of cases. A flashing security light and the engine refusing to crank is the most common symptom of a BCM failure on these GM models. Our VIN-programmed 1999-2000 Silverado 1500 BCM is specifically prepared to resolve this issue.
Do I need to send my old part back?
No. This purchase has no core charge. You can keep, discard, or recycle your original module at your convenience.
