Restore Full Control and End Electrical Frustrations
Are you dealing with baffling electrical issues in your truck or van? Flickering lights, unresponsive power windows, a security system that has a mind of its own, or random warning chimes can all point to a single culprit: a failing Body Control Module (BCM). This component is the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it starts to fail, it can make driving a stressful and unpredictable experience. Get your vehicle back to factory-fresh functionality with our expertly programmed BCM, designed for a wide range of 2002-2005 GM vehicles.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A faulty BCM can manifest in numerous ways that seem unrelated, making diagnosis a headache. If you’re experiencing any of the following, our pre-programmed BCM is the definitive solution you need:
- Power windows, door locks, or mirrors working intermittently or not at all.
- Interior dome lights or dashboard lights staying on or not turning on correctly.
- The security or anti-theft system preventing the vehicle from starting.
- Erratic behavior from the radio, horn, or windshield wipers.
- False warning lights on the instrument cluster, such as the airbag light.

Think of the BCM as the central nervous system for all the comfort and convenience features in your truck.

When it fails, signals get crossed, leading to the chaotic symptoms you’re seeing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does the Body Control Module do?
The BCM is a computer that controls and monitors a wide variety of non-engine-related functions in your vehicle. This includes power windows, power locks, interior and exterior lighting, the security system, warning chimes, and wiper controls, among other things.
Is this part difficult to install?
For someone with moderate mechanical experience, the installation is typically straightforward. The BCM is usually located under the dashboard. The main challenge with BCM replacement is programming, which we handle for you. Since this module comes pre-flashed to your VIN, the physical swap is all that’s required in most cases.
What do I need to do after installing this BCM?
In most cases, the module is ready to go. However, as with any major electronic component replacement, some vehicles may require a couple of simple relearn procedures. If your airbag light is on, a “Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM” procedure may be needed. A brake pedal position sensor relearn might also be necessary. These procedures can be performed by a qualified technician with a professional scan tool.
How do I provide my VIN for programming?
After you complete your purchase, simply send us a message with your vehicle’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship your order until we receive the VIN, as we need it to program the module correctly for your specific vehicle.
Will this fix my specific electrical problem?
This 2002-2004 S10 Sonoma BCM is the direct solution for the vast majority of body-related electrical issues listed in the description. By replacing the central controller, you eliminate the root cause of these frustrating and intermittent problems.
What happens if I install a BCM that isn’t programmed?
An unprogrammed BCM will not work correctly. It won’t have your vehicle’s specific information, which can lead to a no-start condition, incorrect feature operation, or persistent error codes. Our pre-programming service saves you from this significant and costly problem.
