Restore Your Van’s Core Functions and Get Back to Work
Is your 2013-2014 Chevrolet Express 1500 plagued by bizarre electrical problems? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, a dead radio, or a frustrating no-start condition can bring your business to a grinding halt. Don’t let electrical gremlins dictate your schedule. This professionally programmed Body Control Module (BCM) is the direct-fit, reliable solution to restore your van’s functionality and get you back on the road with confidence.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM & Your Solution
The BCM is the central nervous system for your vehicle’s body electronics. When it fails, it can cause a wide range of confusing and intermittent issues. If you’re experiencing any of the following, a faulty BCM is the likely culprit:
- Power windows, door locks, or mirrors working erratically or not at all.
- Interior or exterior lights staying on or not turning on.
- The security system preventing the engine from starting.
- Warning lights on the dashboard appearing for no reason.
- Radio or climate control systems are unresponsive.
Replacing the module with a used one from a junkyard is a gamble that rarely pays off, as it won’t be configured for your van’s specific options. Our solution takes the guesswork out of the repair. We use your vehicle’s VIN to program this module with the latest GM software, ensuring it’s a perfect match. This is the definitive fix for a failing 2013-2014 Express 1500 BCM 22915542.

An Expert’s Note on BCM Replacement: From over 20 years in the shop, I’ve seen countless vehicle owners waste time and money on used BCMs. A module from another vehicle will cause more problems than it solves because it’s not configured for your van’s specific optionsโlike power windows, security system, or trim level. Our VIN-programming service isn’t just a convenience; it’s a critical step that replicates the factory process, ensuring every electronic feature works exactly as it should from the moment you plug it in. It’s the difference between a temporary patch and a lasting, professional repair.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to send you my old BCM?
No. This Body Control Module is sold without a core charge. You can keep your original part, saving you the time and hassle of shipping it back.
How do I provide my vehicle’s VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship the module until we receive this information, as it is essential for the programming process.
Is this part difficult to install?
For most listed models, including the Express and Savana vans, the BCM is located in the center dash area. It is a plug-and-play module, meaning installation typically involves disconnecting the negative battery terminal, removing a few trim pieces, and swapping the electrical connectors from the old module to the new one. No special tools are usually required for the module itself.
What if my airbag light comes on after installation?
In some cases, the new BCM may need to be synced with the airbag system’s SDM (Sensing and Diagnostic Module). If the airbag light is on after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure will need to be performed by a technician with a professional-grade scan tool.
Will this fix my specific electrical problem?
This 2013-2014 Express 1500 BCM 22915542 is the solution for a huge range of electrical issues directly caused by a failed Body Control Module. However, proper vehicle diagnosis is always recommended to confirm the BCM is the source of your problem before ordering.
What other procedures might be needed after installation?
Depending on your specific vehicle, a Brake Pedal Position Sensor relearn procedure may be necessary to ensure proper brake light and traction control function. These post-install procedures are straightforward for any qualified technician. Always consult a service manual for your vehicle’s specific requirements.
