Restore Your Vehicle’s Electrical System and Get Back on the Road
Are you dealing with frustrating and unpredictable electrical issues in your truck or van? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows and locks, or a security system that has a mind of its own are common signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). These problems can be more than just an annoyance; they can affect your vehicle’s reliability and your confidence behind the wheel. This pre-programmed BCM is the straightforward, dependable solution to restore full functionality and get your vehicle operating as it should.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM & Your Solution
A faulty BCM can create a host of confusing electrical gremlins. If you’re experiencing any of the following, a failing module is the likely culprit:
- Intermittent or non-working power windows, door locks, or mirrors.
- Interior dome lights or dashboard lights staying on or not working at all.
- Erratic alarm or security system behavior (e.g., going off randomly).
- Problems with the radio or climate control functions.
- In some cases, a no-start condition due to security system failure.

Important Post-Installation Information
While this module is programmed for a straightforward installation, some vehicles may require additional steps to sync with other onboard systems. Please be aware of the following possibilities:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is on after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure must be performed with a professional scan tool.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: A recalibration of the brake pedal position sensor may be needed on some models to ensure proper brake light and traction control operation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do you need my VIN?
Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) allows us to program the BCM with the exact software and settings for your vehicle’s specific options. This ensures it communicates correctly with your other modules and functions properly right out of the box.
Is this part difficult to install?
The physical installation is typically straightforward for someone with basic mechanical skills. The BCM is usually located under the driver’s or passenger’s side dashboard. The most important part of the job—the programming—is already done for you. However, always consult a service manual for your specific vehicle’s procedure.
What happens if my airbag light comes on after I install it?
This can happen because the new BCM needs to be electronically ‘introduced’ to the airbag’s Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) module. A qualified technician with a professional-grade scan tool can perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to sync the modules and turn off the light.
Do I need to send my old BCM back?
No. This product has no core charge. You can keep your original part, which simplifies the process and gets you back on the road faster.
Will this fix my no-start problem?
If your no-start issue is caused by the factory anti-theft system (Passlock/VATS) which is controlled by the BCM, then this part is very likely the solution. A faulty 2000 Astro BCM is a common cause of security-related starting problems in these vehicles.
