Restore Your Vehicle’s Electrical System with Confidence
Are you battling a storm of frustrating electrical problems in your vehicle? Flickering dashboard lights, power windows with a mind of their own, or a security system that randomly acts up are all classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). These issues aren’t just an annoyance; they can compromise your vehicle’s safety and reliability. Instead of facing a costly trip to the dealership for diagnostics and programming, take control of the repair with our pre-programmed BCM, designed to get you back on the road quickly and affordably.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A faulty BCM can feel like your vehicle is haunted. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is your definitive solution:
- Intermittent or non-working power windows, door locks, or interior lights
- Erratic instrument cluster behavior or warning lights
- Security system faults or key fob recognition issues
- HVAC (Air Conditioning & Heat) control problems
- Communication errors with other vehicle modules (DTCs U0140, U0155, etc.)
This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a complete, ready-to-install solution. We flash the module with the latest GM software updates and program it specifically to your vehicle’s VIN before it ships. This critical step ensures seamless integration and restores the precise functionality your vehicle had when it left the factory. For anyone needing a reliable 2013-2014 Express 1500 BCM, this is the most efficient fix available.

An Expert’s Note: We recently worked with a fleet manager whose Express van was sidelined with bizarre electrical issues, costing him money every day it sat idle. The dealership quoted him a four-day wait just for an appointment. We shipped him this pre-programmed BCM overnight. His mechanic installed it in under an hour, and the van was back on the job the next day. He avoided a tow, dealership labor costs, and most importantly, costly downtime. That’s the power of a ready-to-go solution.
Important Post-Installation Procedures
While this module is designed for a simple installation, some vehicles may require one or two final synchronization steps to ensure all systems communicate correctly. These are standard procedures that can be performed by any shop with a professional-grade scan tool.
- Airbag System Sync: If your airbag warning light is on after installation, the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure is necessary to sync the systems.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: A recalibration of the brake pedal position sensor may be required to ensure proper brake light and traction control operation.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for vehicle-specific guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Body Control Module (BCM) do?
The BCM is the central computer for your vehicle’s body electronics. It controls non-engine related functions like power windows, door locks, interior/exterior lighting, security systems, and climate controls. When it fails, it can cause a wide range of strange electrical problems.
How do I know if my BCM is failing?
Common symptoms include accessories working intermittently, warning lights on the dash that don’t make sense, key fobs not working, and security system errors. A professional diagnosis is the best way to be certain, but these issues strongly point to a faulty BCM.
What information do you need from me?
After you place your order, we simply need you to provide your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN (Vehicle Identification Number). This allows us to program the module with the correct software and vehicle-specific settings before we ship it to you.
Is this part difficult to install?
The physical installation is typically straightforward, involving disconnecting the battery and swapping the old module with the new one. The location varies by model but is often under the dashboard. The key benefit of our service is that the complex programming is already done, making the process much simpler. However, some models may require the post-installation relearn procedures mentioned above.
Why is this a better option than going to the dealer?
Our pre-programmed 2013-2014 Express 1500 BCM saves you significant time and money. You avoid dealership labor rates, programming fees, and the hassle of scheduling an appointment and leaving your vehicle. We provide a cost-effective, ready-to-install part directly to you.
Do I need to send my old BCM back?
No. This purchase has no core charge. You can keep your original module, which saves you the time and expense of return shipping.
