Tired of Chasing Electrical Gremlins in Your GM Truck?
If you’re dealing with flickering lights, power windows and locks with a mind of their own, or a security light that prevents your truck from starting, a failing Body Control Module is the likely culprit.

This is the definitive solution to restore your truck’s critical functions and get it back to being the reliable partner you depend on.

An Expert’s Note on GMT800 Electronics: The 1999-2002 GM truck platform (GMT800) is legendary for its durability, but its BCM is a known weak point. Simply installing a used module from a junkyard is a gamble—it won’t have the correct programming for your truck’s options (like keyless entry or power seats) and can cause even more issues. Our VIN-programming service for your 2001 Sierra 3500 BCM ensures all systems communicate correctly from the moment you plug it in, just as the factory intended.
Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does the BCM do on my 2001 Sierra?
The Body Control Module acts as the central hub for your truck’s body electronics. It controls non-engine related functions like power windows, power locks, interior and exterior lighting, the security system, and even the radio. When it fails, you see a wide variety of strange electrical symptoms.
Is this module difficult to install?
The BCM is typically located under the driver’s side of the dashboard and is a plug-and-play component. The physical replacement is straightforward for someone with basic mechanical skills. Since we pre-program the module, you avoid the most complex part of the job. However, please note the potential need for post-install procedures listed in the description.
Do I have to send my old BCM back?
No. We do not require you to return your original module. There is no core charge associated with this purchase, saving you time and return shipping costs.
Why is providing my VIN so important?
Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) allows us to program the BCM with the exact software and settings for your truck’s specific features, such as keyless entry, power seat options, and drivetrain. This ensures seamless integration and proper function of all systems. A generic 2001 Sierra 3500 BCM would not work correctly without this critical step.
What if my airbag light is on after installation?
In some cases, the new BCM may need to be synced with the airbag system’s computer (SDM). This is done with a professional scan tool using a procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’. This is only necessary if the airbag warning light appears after you have installed the new module.
Will this fit other GM trucks and SUVs?
Yes. This BCM is a direct replacement for the 2001 model year Chevrolet Silverado, Tahoe, Suburban, and GMC Sierra and Yukon models as detailed in the fitment list. Providing your VIN ensures we program it perfectly for your specific make and model.
