Cleaning this connection thoroughly with a wire brush can sometimes resolve the issue or, at the very least, prevent your new BCM from failing prematurely. A solid ground is the foundation of a healthy electrical system.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Body Control Module (BCM) do?
The BCM is essentially the brain for your vehicle’s body electronics. It controls non-engine related functions like power windows, door locks, interior and exterior lighting, the security system, wipers, and the HVAC climate control system.
Is this BCM difficult to install?
Installation is typically straightforward for someone with basic mechanical skills. The BCM is usually located under the driver’s side dashboard, near the steering column. Because this unit comes pre-programmed to your VIN, no special computer programming is required for most functions, making it a plug-and-play process that often takes just a few minutes.
Why is VIN programming so important?
VIN programming loads your vehicle’s specific software and configurations onto the BCM. This ensures all the features and options your truck came with from the factory work correctly. Without it, you would face a costly and time-consuming trip to a dealership for programming.
Will this fix my airbag light with code B1001?
This BCM can resolve the root cause of an airbag light related to module communication. However, after installation, if the light remains on, a special procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ must be performed with a professional-grade scan tool to sync the BCM with the airbag system.
Do I need to send my old part back?
No. We do not require a core return for this part. You can keep or dispose of your old module, saving you the time and hassle of shipping it back.
How do I know this is the correct part for my truck?
You can verify the fitment by matching your old part number to one of the many interchangeable numbers listed in our description, such as 25790508 or 25835966. You can also use our website’s vehicle selector to confirm compatibility with your specific year, make, and model.
