Restore Your Vehicle’s Electrical System with a Plug-and-Play Solution
Are strange electrical issues plaguing your GM vehicle? Flickering lights, malfunctioning windows, a security system that acts on its own, or even a no-start condition can all point to a failing Body Control Module (BCM).

Expert Insight from Our Technicians
From a technician’s perspective, a BCM is the ‘traffic cop’ for your vehicle’s body electronics. Over time, heat cycles, voltage spikes, and internal component wear can cause it to fail, leading to symptoms that seem completely unrelated. Many people chase these issues by replacing switches, relays, and even motors, only to find the problem persists. The real issue is often the central BCM. By providing a Programmed 15828601 Body Control Module, we’re not just sending a part; we’re delivering a precise, coded component that communicates flawlessly with your vehicle’s other systems, just as the factory original did.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to send my original BCM to you?
No, you do not need to send us your old part. There is no core charge. We are providing a replacement module that is programmed to your vehicle’s VIN before it ships.
Is this BCM difficult to install?
The physical installation is typically straightforward, involving disconnecting the battery and swapping the module. Its location varies by model (e.g., under the dash, behind the glove box). The key benefit of our service is that the complex and essential programming is already done for you, making the process much simpler.
What exactly does ‘VIN programming’ mean?
We use your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to load the exact software and vehicle-specific options (like power seats, security system type, etc.) onto the BCM before shipping. This makes it a plug-and-play part for your specific car or truck, ensuring all features work as intended.
What if my airbag light comes on after installation?
As noted in the post-install procedures, some GM vehicles may require an ‘SDM Primary Key Setup’ using a professional scan tool to sync the new BCM with the airbag system. This is a standard GM procedure and is only necessary if the airbag warning light appears after the swap.
Will this fix my exact problem?
This Programmed 15828601 Body Control Module will correct issues directly caused by a faulty BCM. While it resolves the most common electrical faults, we always recommend a proper diagnosis by a qualified technician to confirm the BCM is the root cause of your specific symptoms before ordering.
Which part number will I receive?
You will receive a BCM that is a fully compatible hardware replacement for any of the part numbers listed in the description. The most critical factor is the custom programming we perform using your VIN, which makes it the correct part for your vehicle’s specific software requirements.
