Restore Your Caprice’s Core Electronics
Are you battling frustrating and unpredictable electrical issues in your Chevrolet Caprice? Symptoms like erratic power windows, flickering dashboard lights, a malfunctioning security system, or even a no-start condition often point to a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can cause a cascade of problems. This replacement Body Control Module is the definitive solution, arriving pre-programmed to your vehicle’s specific VIN to restore function and reliability.

- Intermittent or non-working power windows, door locks, or interior lights.
- Warning lights on the dashboard that have no apparent cause.
- Problems with the anti-theft or keyless entry systems.
- Communication error codes (U-codes) when scanned with a diagnostic tool.
- The engine cranks but refuses to start due to a security system fault.

An Expert’s Take on the BCM
As a technician, I call the BCM the vehicle’s ‘central nervous system.’ It doesn’t manage the engine, but it controls nearly everything you interact with inside the cabin. In a high-demand vehicle like the Caprice PPV, having a perfectly functioning BCM is mission-critical. Intermittent electrical failures aren’t just an annoyance; they can compromise the vehicle’s readiness. This pre-programmed 2011-2013 Caprice Body Control Module is the most efficient way to ensure every electronic component responds exactly as it should, every single time.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the VIN programming service work?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. Our technicians use this number to access the latest factory software from GM and flash the module specifically for your vehicle’s configuration. This makes the installation process as simple as possible.
Will this BCM require any additional procedures after installation?
In some cases, yes. Depending on your vehicle’s specific systems, a ‘Brake Pedal Position Relearn’ or an ‘Airbag System Sync’ (also known as ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’) may be necessary. These procedures require a professional-grade scan tool and are typically only needed if you experience a related warning light after installation.
My original part number isn’t on the list, but my vehicle is. Will this work?
Our list contains the most common part numbers this module replaces. GM frequently updates and supersedes part numbers. As long as your vehicle’s make, model, and year are listed in our compatibility chart, this module is the correct fit, even if your original number differs.
What is your warranty policy on this module?
This unit is backed by our one-year replacement warranty. Should you encounter any issues with the module itself within one year of the purchase date, we will provide a replacement.
Is this a brand new part?
This is a high-quality, tested component that has been meticulously inspected and programmed to meet or exceed original factory specifications, ensuring reliable, long-term performance for your vehicle.
Why is a programmed 2011-2013 Caprice Body Control Module a better choice?
Purchasing a pre-programmed module saves you significant time, money, and hassle. A used module from a junkyard would not work as it’s locked to the original vehicle’s VIN. Our service provides a component that is ready for installation without requiring expensive dealer-only programming tools.
