Expert Insight: The BCM as Your Vehicle’s ‘Nervous System’
Think of the Body Control Module as the central command center for all your vehicle’s comfort and convenience features. It doesn’t control the engine, but it manages almost everything else—from the chime that reminds you to buckle up to the complex logic that operates your power locks and security system.

By choosing this expertly prepared 2008-2012 Savana 3500 Body Control Module, you are not just buying a part; you are investing in a reliable, long-term fix that restores your vehicle’s functionality and your peace of mind.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need to provide my VIN?
Your vehicle’s VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) is essential because it allows us to program the Body Control Module specifically for your vehicle’s unique configuration and options. This step ensures the BCM communicates correctly with all other modules, making the installation process as smooth as possible.
Is this part difficult to install?
The BCM is typically located under the dashboard. While installation is straightforward for those with mechanical experience, it can be challenging for a novice. Please note that some vehicles may require additional procedures after installation, such as an Airbag System Sync or a Brake Pedal Position Relearn, which require a professional scan tool. We recommend consulting a service manual or a qualified technician if you are unsure.
Will this fix my specific electrical problem?
This module will resolve issues directly caused by a failing BCM. While the symptoms listed are common indicators of BCM failure, we always recommend having a proper diagnosis performed by a qualified mechanic to confirm the BCM is the source of your problem before ordering.
My original part number isn’t on the list, will this still work?
This BCM is a direct replacement for a wide array of GM part numbers, as listed in the description. GM often consolidates multiple part numbers into a single, updated replacement. If your vehicle make, model, and year are listed, this module is the correct, updated part for your application.
What is the warranty on this BCM?
This unit is backed by our one-year replacement warranty, giving you confidence in your purchase.
Is this a plug-and-play part?
Because we pre-program it to your VIN, it is as close to plug-and-play as possible. However, as noted in the included instructions, certain models may require a simple relearn procedure for the brake pedal position sensor or the airbag system (SDM) to clear related warning lights. These are standard procedures for this type of repair.
