Restore Your Truck’s Electrical System and Drive with Confidence
Are you battling a storm of bizarre electrical problems in your truck or SUV? Flickering lights, unresponsive power windows, door locks with a mind of their own, or a security light that won’t turn off can be incredibly frustrating. These aren’t just annoyances; they’re symptoms of a failing Body Control Module (BCM), the central command for your vehicle’s electronic accessories. This pre-programmed BCM is the definitive, hassle-free solution to restore order and get your reliable workhorse back on the road.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A faulty BCM can disrupt your daily routine and compromise your vehicle’s functionality. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is the fix you need:
- Intermittent or non-working power windows, door locks, or interior lights.
- Erratic instrument cluster behavior or warning lights (like the security or airbag light).
- Remote keyless entry (RKE) failure.
- HVAC controls not responding correctly.
- A no-start condition where the engine cranks but won’t fire, often accompanied by a security system fault.

From the Expert’s Bench
One of the most maddening issues we see with a failing BCM is a ‘phantom’ battery drain. A customer will report their truck’s battery is dead every morning for no apparent reason. This often happens because the faulty BCM isn’t properly shutting down all the vehicle’s electronic systems when the ignition is off. It might keep a relay energized or a small light on that you’d never notice. Installing a correctly programmed 2012-2014 GM Truck BCM 22846364 not only fixes the obvious problems like power windows but also solves these hidden, battery-killing electrical leaks, giving you the confidence that your truck will start every time.
Important Post-Installation Procedures
While this module is designed for a straightforward installation, some vehicles may require one or more of the following procedures to ensure all systems communicate correctly. These often require a professional-grade scan tool.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure is necessary to sync the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: A recalibration of the brake pedal position sensor may be required to ensure proper brake light operation and traction control system performance.
Disclaimer: Specific procedures can vary by vehicle. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I absolutely have to provide my VIN?
Yes. Providing your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is essential. We use it to load the exact, correct software for your vehicle’s specific options and features, which ensures the BCM works properly upon installation.
Where is the BCM located on these trucks and SUVs?
On most of the compatible models like the Silverado, Sierra, and Yukon, the Body Control Module is typically located under the driver’s side of the dashboard, near the steering column. It’s a black box with several large electrical connectors.
What happens if my airbag light comes on after I install this?
This is a known possibility. It means the new BCM needs to be electronically ‘introduced’ to your vehicle’s existing airbag module (SDM). A qualified technician with a professional scan tool can perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to resolve this and turn off the light.
Is this a difficult part to replace myself?
For someone with moderate mechanical skill, the physical replacement is straightforward. It involves removing some lower dash panels and disconnecting the electrical connectors. The most critical part is ensuring you have access to a professional scan tool if any post-installation relearn procedures are needed.
Will this fix my specific electrical problem?
This module is the solution for a wide range of body-related electrical issues. If you are experiencing multiple symptoms listed above, such as erratic power locks, windows, and interior lighting, it is highly likely that a failing 2012-2014 GM Truck BCM 22846364 is the culprit.
Is there a core charge for my old part?
No. We do not require you to return your original BCM. There is no core charge or extra fee associated with this purchase.
