Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A failing BCM can wreak havoc on your vehicle’s electronics, often mimicking other problems and making diagnosis difficult. If you’re dealing with any of the following, a faulty BCM is the likely culprit:
- Erratic or non-functional interior/exterior lights
- Power windows, locks, or mirrors working intermittently or not at all
- Instrument cluster gauges behaving strangely or going dead
- Security system issues or a persistent anti-theft light
- The engine won’t crank or start, despite a good battery and starter
- Communication error codes (U-codes) stored in the system
This Programmed 2008-2012 Savana 3500 Body Control Module is the definitive solution, engineered to correct these issues and restore your van to full operational capacity.

An Expert’s Perspective: The Old Way vs. Our Way
As a technician, I’ve seen countless business owners lose valuable time and money dealing with a BCM failure. The old process was a nightmare: diagnose the issue, order the part, have the vehicle towed to a dealership, and then wait—and pay—for them to program the new module. Your van could be out of commission for days. We’ve streamlined that entire process. You order this Programmed 2008-2012 Savana 3500 Body Control Module, provide your VIN, and we ship a ready-to-install part directly to you or your mechanic. You’re bypassing the most expensive and time-consuming step: dealership programming. This is the smart, efficient fix for anyone who relies on their vehicle for their livelihood.
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 module for you before we ship it. Simply provide your vehicle’s VIN during checkout, and it will arrive ready for a plug-and-play installation.
How do I provide my VIN number?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us a message with your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship your order until we receive this information, as it is essential for programming.
What if my airbag light is on after I install the module?
In some cases, the new BCM may need to be synchronized with the airbag system. This requires a professional scan tool to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. This is a simple sync that a qualified technician can perform to turn off the light.
Is there a core charge or do I need to return my old part?
No, there is absolutely no core charge. You can keep or dispose of your original module at your convenience.
