Is Your GM Truck or Van Plagued by Bizarre Electrical Issues?
If you’re dealing with flickering lights, power windows and locks with a mind of their own, or a security system that randomly prevents your vehicle from starting, a failing Body Control Module (BCM) is the most likely culprit. These symptoms are more than just an annoyance; they can disrupt your workday and compromise your vehicle’s reliability. This pre-programmed BCM is the definitive, hassle-free solution to restore full functionality and get your truck or van back to being the dependable workhorse you count on.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM & Your Solution
A faulty BCM can create a cascade of frustrating problems. You might be experiencing one or more of the following:
- Power windows, door locks, or mirrors operating intermittently or not at all.
- Interior or exterior lights behaving erratically (staying on, not turning on, or flickering).
- The security system engaging without reason, leading to a no-crank/no-start condition.
- The horn or alarm sounding unexpectedly.
- False warnings or messages appearing on the instrument cluster.
Instead of wrestling with a used module from a salvage yard that won’t work without costly dealership programming, our BCM arrives ready for installation. We flash the module with the latest GM software updates using your vehicle’s specific VIN, ensuring seamless communication between all your vehicle’s systems right out of the box.

A Mechanic’s Perspective: For years, a BCM replacement on these GM trucks and vans meant a trip to the dealer. You’d buy the part, install it, and the vehicle still wouldn’t work right until it was hooked up to their proprietary scan tool for programming. It added hundreds of dollars and a significant amount of downtime to the job. This pre-programmed module changes the game. It delivers dealer-level precision directly to your door, turning a multi-step, expensive repair into a simple, one-time fix. It’s the smart choice for any shop or DIYer who values efficiency and reliability.
Important Post-Installation Information
While this module is programmed for plug-and-play installation, some vehicles may require additional relearn procedures with a capable scan tool to sync related systems:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is on after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure is necessary to sync the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: A recalibration of the brake pedal position sensor may be required to ensure correct brake light and traction control functionality.
Please note: Specific procedures can vary. We always recommend consulting a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance.

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 order until we receive this information, as the programming is essential for the module to function in your vehicle.
Is this a difficult part to install?
The physical installation is generally straightforward. On most trucks, the BCM is located under the steering column, and on vans, it’s typically in the center dash area. The main challenge has always been the programming, which we handle for you. Basic mechanical skills are all that’s needed for the swap. However, as noted, some vehicles may require a final relearn procedure with a scan tool.
Will this programmed 2003-2007 Savana 2500 BCM fix my specific problem?
This module is the direct solution for issues originating from a faulty BCM, such as erratic lights, power accessory failures, and security system faults. While it resolves the most common electrical problems, you should always ensure your vehicle has been properly diagnosed by a professional to rule out other potential causes like wiring or switch failures.
What if the airbag light comes on after I install it?
This is a known possibility. It simply means the new BCM needs to be electronically ‘introduced’ to your vehicle’s airbag control module (SDM). A qualified technician with a professional-grade scan tool can perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to resolve this and turn off the light.
Do I need to send my old BCM back?
No. This product comes with absolutely no core charge. You can keep, discard, or recycle your original part at your convenience.
