Restore Your Vehicle’s Electrical System with a Plug-and-Play Solution
Are you battling frustrating and unpredictable electrical problems in your GM vehicle? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows and locks, or strange warning messages on the dash are often symptoms of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM acts as the central nervous system for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can cause a wide range of issues. This Programmed 2008-2012 Express 1500 Body Control Module is the definitive, hassle-free solution to get your truck or van back to full operational health.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A faulty BCM can make your vehicle feel unreliable. You might be experiencing issues like interior lights staying on, the horn honking randomly, or problems with the security system. These aren’t just annoyances; they can be serious safety concerns. Instead of spending a fortune and losing valuable time at a dealership, this module arrives at your door pre-programmed to your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We handle the complex programming, so you can focus on a straightforward installation.

- ✔️ Peace of Mind Included: This unit is backed by our one-year replacement warranty.
Pro-Tip from a 20-Year Tech
One of the biggest hurdles when replacing a modern BCM is the programming. Installing a non-programmed module from a salvage yard or parts store is a guaranteed headache—your vehicle won’t start, and you’ll be forced to pay for a tow to the dealer for expensive flashing. Our service eliminates that entire ordeal. By programming the module to your VIN before we ship, we deliver a component that is truly ready for installation, saving you hundreds of dollars in dealer fees and critical downtime. This is the smartest way to tackle a BCM replacement.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need to provide my VIN?
Your vehicle’s VIN is essential for us to program the Body Control Module correctly. The BCM needs to be loaded with the specific software and calibrations for your vehicle’s exact options and features. This step ensures all systems, from the power windows to the anti-theft system, function as intended without a trip to the dealership.
Is this part difficult to install?
For someone with moderate mechanical experience, the physical installation is typically straightforward. The BCM is usually located under the dash. The main benefit of our product is that the difficult software programming is already done. However, please note that some vehicles may require a simple relearn procedure for certain systems (like the brake pedal position sensor) after installation, which may require a professional scan tool.
What if my airbag light comes on after installation?
In some cases, the new BCM needs to be synced with the airbag system’s computer (SDM). If the airbag light is on after you install the module, a “Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM” procedure will need to be performed by a qualified technician with a professional-grade diagnostic tool. This is a standard security sync procedure for many GM vehicles.
Do I need to return my old BCM?
No. We do not require you to send back your original module. There is no core charge associated with this purchase, making the process simpler and more convenient for you.
What other vehicles does this BCM fit?
While this is a perfect fit for the 2008-2012 Express 1500, this BCM is compatible with a very wide range of GM vehicles, including many model years of the Acadia, Enclave, Traverse, Tahoe, Yukon, Suburban, Impala, Escalade, Savana vans, and more. It replaces numerous part numbers, including 15921352, 25892622, 22860591, and others listed in the original part data.
