Is Your Avalanche 2500 Plagued by Bizarre Electrical Problems?
Is your reliable workhorse suddenly acting possessed? Flickering lights, a dead HVAC system, or power locks with a mind of their own are more than just annoyances—they’re signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central command center for your truck’s body electronics, and when it starts to fail, it can create a cascade of frustrating and unpredictable issues. This pre-programmed BCM is the definitive solution to restore order and get your truck operating exactly as it should.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A faulty BCM can manifest in numerous ways. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is the likely fix you need:
- Intermittent or complete loss of HVAC and climate controls.
- Power windows, door locks, or interior/exterior lights not working correctly.
- The security system malfunctioning, causing no-start conditions.
- An airbag warning light that won’t turn off, often with DTC B1001.
- A variety of other electrical gremlins and diagnostic trouble codes related to body systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a BCM do on my 2002-2006 Avalanche 2500?
The Body Control Module, or BCM, acts as the central computer for your truck’s non-engine related electronics. It controls functions like power windows, door locks, interior and exterior lighting, the security system, wipers, and the HVAC system.
Is this BCM difficult to install?
No, the installation is typically very straightforward. The BCM is usually located under the steering column. The process involves disconnecting the battery, removing a few trim panels, and swapping the electrical connectors from the old module to the new one. Most owners with basic tools can complete the job in under 30 minutes.
Do I need to take my truck to a dealer after installation?
Because we pre-program the module to your vehicle’s VIN, no further dealership programming is required for the BCM itself. It is designed to be a plug-and-play solution, saving you time and money.
What if my airbag light stays on after installing the new BCM?
In some cases, the new BCM may need to be synchronized with the airbag system’s computer (SDM). This is a simple procedure called “Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM” that can be performed with a professional-grade scan tool. It is only necessary if the airbag light is illuminated after the swap.
Will this fix my specific electrical problem?
This 2002-2006 Avalanche 2500 BCM is the direct solution for the most common electrical failures listed in the description. If you are experiencing issues with lights, locks, windows, or HVAC, a failing BCM is the most probable cause.
Is there a core charge for my old part?
No, there is no core charge. You can keep or dispose of your original module without any hassle or additional cost.
