Is Your Truck Experiencing Bizarre Electrical Problems?
If your Silverado, Sierra, or Tahoe is suffering from frustrating electrical issues like flickering lights, unresponsive power windows, or a dashboard lit up with warning lights, a failing Body Control Module (BCM) is the most likely culprit. This central computer governs your vehicle’s essential comfort and security features, and when it fails, it can make your truck feel unreliable and chaotic.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does a Body Control Module do?
The Body Control Module, or BCM, is a computer in your vehicle that controls and monitors a wide range of electronic accessories not related to the engine. This includes power windows, door locks, the security system, interior and exterior lighting, wipers, and the HVAC system.
Why is VIN programming so important for this part?
VIN programming loads your vehicle’s specific software and factory-set options onto the BCM. Without it, the module won’t recognize your vehicle’s other computers, leading to system malfunctions or a no-start condition. Our pre-programming makes it a true plug-and-play part, saving you a mandatory trip to the dealership.
Is this BCM difficult to install myself?
For most of the compatible models, the BCM is located under the steering column and is accessible with basic hand tools. The physical swap typically takes less than 15 minutes. We always recommend disconnecting the battery before starting the installation.
What if the airbag light is on after I install it?
In some cases, the new BCM needs to be electronically introduced to the airbag system (SDM). This is a simple procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ that can be performed with a professional-grade scan tool. This is only necessary if the airbag light appears after installation.
Do I need to send my old BCM back?
No. We do not require a core return. You can keep or dispose of your old module, saving you the hassle and cost of shipping it back.
How do I know if this part fits my vehicle?
This BCM is compatible with a wide range of 2002-2007 GM trucks and SUVs, including the Silverado, Sierra, Tahoe, Suburban, Escalade, and Hummer H2. Please check the detailed fitment list on this page or match one of the interchangeable part numbers (like 15116066, 15137395, etc.) to confirm compatibility.
