Tired of Chasing Electrical Gremlins in Your GM Truck or SUV?
Are you dealing with frustrating and unpredictable electrical issues? Power windows that won’t cooperate, door locks with a mind of their own, a security light that won’t turn off, or interior lights that stay on? These are classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM).

This BCM arrives at your door pre-programmed to your vehicle’s specific VIN, making the repair process as straightforward as possible.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM & Your Solution
A faulty BCM can cause a wide range of seemingly unrelated problems, making diagnosis a headache. If your vehicle is experiencing any of the following, a failing BCM is the likely culprit:
- Erratic or non-functional power windows, mirrors, and door locks
- Interior dome lights or dashboard lights staying on or not working at all
- The security or anti-theft system light flashing, preventing the engine from starting
- False warnings on the driver information center (DIC)
- Communication issues with other modules (often showing U-codes on a scan tool)
- Problems with the heating and A/C controls

Expert Insight: The BCM as Your Vehicle’s ‘Nervous System’
Think of the Body Control Module as the central hub of your vehicle’s electronic nervous system. It doesn’t control the engine, but it manages almost everything you interact with inside the cabin. It takes your commands—like pressing the window switch or the lock button on your key fob—and translates them into action. When it fails, signals get crossed, leading to the bizarre and frustrating issues you’re experiencing. Our service of providing a Programmed GM BCM 22846364 simplifies what was once a dealer-only repair, putting a reliable fix directly into your hands.
This BCM is a direct replacement for part numbers 22737275, 22846365, and 22846364. Please provide your VIN during checkout to ensure we can program the module correctly before shipment. While the installation of this Programmed GM BCM 22846364 is straightforward, some vehicles may require a simple relearn procedure for the brake pedal position sensor or airbag system sync, which can be performed with a compatible high-level scan tool.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I absolutely need to provide my VIN?
Yes. Providing your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN is mandatory. We cannot ship the module without it, as we use it to load the correct software and calibration files for your specific vehicle options. This is the key to our plug-and-play service.
Is this BCM difficult to install?
The physical installation is typically simple for someone with basic mechanical skills. The BCM is usually located under the driver’s side of the dashboard. It involves disconnecting the battery, removing a few trim panels, and unplugging the electrical connectors. However, always consult a service manual for your specific vehicle’s procedure.
What if my airbag light comes on after installation?
In some cases, the new BCM needs to be electronically introduced to the airbag system (SDM). This is a security feature. A ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure must be performed with a professional-grade diagnostic tool to sync the modules and turn off the light.
Will this fix every electrical problem in my vehicle?
This module will correct issues directly caused by a failing BCM. If your problems are due to a bad switch, a broken wire, or a different faulty module, this BCM will not fix those separate issues. It is crucial to properly diagnose the BCM as the root cause of your specific symptoms.
What part numbers does this module replace?
This BCM is a direct replacement for modules with part numbers 22737275, 22846365, and 22846364. It fits a wide range of 2012-2014 GM trucks and SUVs.
Is there a core charge or do I have to send my old part back?
No. There is no core charge for this item. You can keep or dispose of your original module at your convenience.
