Stop Wasting Time and Money on Electrical Gremlins
Is your Chevrolet Express van suddenly acting possessed? Flickering lights, unresponsive power locks, a security light that won’t turn off, or worse, a van that refuses to start can bring your business to a grinding halt.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to get this BCM programmed by a dealer?
No. The main benefit of our service is that we program the Body Control Module to your vehicle’s specific VIN before we ship it. It arrives ready for installation, saving you the time and expense of a dealership visit.
What information do you need from me?
After you complete your purchase, you must provide us with your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This is essential for us to load the correct software and ensure compatibility with your van’s specific options.
Is the installation difficult?
For someone with moderate mechanical experience, the physical installation is straightforward. However, please be aware that certain post-install procedures, like a Brake Pedal Position Relearn or an Airbag System Sync, may be required. These procedures often need a professional-grade scan tool to complete.
What happens if my airbag light is on after installation?
If the airbag warning light illuminates, it means the new BCM needs to be synced with the airbag system’s SDM (Sensing and Diagnostic Module). A procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ must be performed with a compatible diagnostic tool to resolve this.
Will this fix my van’s no-start problem?
If your no-start issue is caused by the anti-theft system (e.g., a flashing security light), a faulty BCM is a very common cause. This programmed module is designed to resolve those security-related starting problems.
How can I be sure this part fits my vehicle?
This module replaces a large number of original part numbers. Please check the extensive list in the description to confirm your original part number is included. Providing your VIN for programming is the final step that guarantees it will work for your specific 2008-2012 Express 3500.
