End Frustrating Electrical Problems in Your GM Truck or SUV
Are you tired of dealing with flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, or a security system with a mind of its own? These unpredictable and annoying issues often point to a single culprit: a failing Body Control Module (BCM). As the central hub for your vehicle’s body electronics, a faulty BCM can disrupt daily operation and compromise your truck’s reliability. This pre-programmed BCM is the definitive, hassle-free solution to restore full functionality and peace of mind.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
If your vehicle is experiencing any of the following, a failing BCM is the likely cause. This module is engineered to be the direct solution for these problems:
- Erratic or non-working interior and exterior lights
- Power windows, door locks, or mirrors operating intermittently or not at all
- The security light staying on, preventing the vehicle from starting
- Inaccurate or malfunctioning gauges on the instrument cluster
- Issues with the heating and air conditioning controls
- Remote keyless entry (RKE) system failure

This means it’s ready to integrate with your truck’s systems right out of the box, saving you hundreds of dollars in programming fees and getting you back on the road faster.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does the BCM do?
The Body Control Module, or BCM, acts as the central computer for your vehicle’s body electronics. It controls non-engine related functions like power windows, locks, lights, security system, wipers, and climate controls.
Is this part difficult to install?
The physical installation is typically straightforward for someone with basic mechanical skills. On most 2002 GM trucks and SUVs, the BCM is located under the steering column. Because our module comes pre-programmed, you avoid the most difficult part of the job: the software setup. However, please review the potential post-installation procedures we’ve noted.
What information do you need from me after I order?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This is essential for us to program the BCM correctly for your specific vehicle options.
What if my airbag light comes on after installation?
In some cases, the new BCM may need to be synced with the airbag system (SDM). This is a simple procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ that can be performed by a technician with a professional-grade scan tool. This is only necessary if the airbag light is on after the BCM is installed.
Will this fix my specific electrical problem?
This 2002 Silverado 1500 BCM is the direct solution for the wide range of symptoms listed above. If you’re experiencing issues with lights, locks, windows, or security, a failing BCM is the most common cause, and this part is designed to be the definitive fix.
