Restore Your Truck’s Electrical System to Perfect Health
Are you dealing with frustrating and unpredictable electrical issues in your GM truck, van, or SUV? Flickering lights, power windows with a mind of their own, a security system that won’t cooperate, or a no-start condition can all point to a failing Body Control Module (BCM).

- Intermittent or non-functional power windows, door locks, or interior lights.
- The security or anti-theft light stays on, preventing the engine from starting.
- Erratic gauge behavior or warning lights on the instrument cluster.
- Communication errors with diagnostic scan tools (loss of communication with BCM).
- Remote keyless entry (RKE) system not working.

Expert Insight: The Power of Pre-Programming
From over 20 years of hands-on diagnostics, I can tell you that the single biggest hurdle in replacing modern control modules is the programming. In the past, you’d install the part, and your truck would still be dead in the water until it was towed to a dealer with the right equipment. Our pre-programming service eliminates that entire step. We’re essentially doing the dealership’s work for you, so when the part arrives, you can focus on the physical installation. This is crucial for the DIY mechanic trying to get their work truck back on the job or the family SUV back on the road safely without extra downtime and expense. This Programmed BCM 09385236 is designed to make your repair as simple as possible.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I provide my VIN for programming?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship your part until we receive this information, as the programming is essential for the module to work in your vehicle.
Is this a simple plug-and-play installation?
Yes, for the most part. Because we pre-program the module, it eliminates the most difficult step. You simply install it, and in most cases, you’re ready to go. However, as noted in our policies, some vehicles may require a secondary procedure like an Airbag System Sync or Brake Pedal Position Relearn, which may require a professional scan tool.
Will this fix my ‘Security’ light issue?
A faulty BCM is a very common cause of a persistent security light and no-start conditions on these GM models. While other issues can cause this, replacing a failed BCM with this Programmed BCM 09385236 is a very common and effective solution to that specific problem.
Where is the BCM located on my vehicle?
On most of the compatible models like the Suburban, Tahoe, and Silverado, the BCM is located under the driver’s side of the dashboard, to the left of the steering column. On S-series trucks and SUVs like the Blazer or S10, it is often located in the center dash area. Always consult a service manual for your specific vehicle to confirm the location before beginning work.
What if my original part number is 9371990?
That’s no problem. This module is a direct replacement for service numbers 9385236, 19208539, and 9371990. As long as your vehicle is on the compatibility list, this part will function correctly once programmed to your VIN.
