Get Your Truck Back to Work with a Fully Programmed BCM
Are you battling frustrating electrical gremlins in your Silverado 3500? Flickering lights, unresponsive power windows, a malfunctioning security system, or a persistent airbag light can bring your work to a halt. Don’t let a faulty Body Control Module (BCM) compromise your truck’s reliability. This OEM-quality BCM is the definitive solution, arriving pre-programmed to your vehicle’s specific VIN for a true plug-and-play installation that gets you back on the road fast.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A failing BCM is the central nervous system of your truck’s electronics, and its failure can cause a wide range of confusing issues. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is your fix:
- Unresponsive or intermittent HVAC controls and blower motor function.
- Power windows, door locks, or interior/exterior lights not working correctly.
- An illuminated airbag warning light, often with DTC B1001.
- Security system faults that may lead to a no-start condition.
- A variety of diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) related to body electronics.
By replacing your old unit with this professionally programmed Silverado 3500 body control module, you restore all these critical functions to factory-spec operation without a costly trip to the dealership.

From the Mechanic’s Bench: A common mistake is chasing individual component failuresโlike a window switch or a blower motor resistorโwhen the BCM is the actual root cause. If you have multiple, unrelated electrical issues popping up at once, the BCM should be your primary suspect. This programmed Silverado 3500 body control module is the most efficient way to solve the problem at its source, preventing you from wasting time and money on unnecessary parts.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to have this BCM programmed by a dealer?
No. We program the module to the VIN you provide during checkout. This means it will be ready for installation right out of the box, with no additional programming required for most functions.

Will this fix my airbag light?
This module will resolve BCM-related airbag codes. However, after installation, you may need to perform a “Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM” procedure with a professional scan tool to sync the new BCM with the airbag system and turn off the light.
Is installation difficult?
Installation is straightforward for someone with basic mechanical skills and typically takes less than 30 minutes. It involves disconnecting the battery, accessing the module under the dash, swapping the electrical connectors, and securing the new module. No special tools are usually required.
