Are you battling bizarre and frustrating electrical issues in your truck? One minute the A/C works, the next it’s dead.

We load the latest GM software specific to your truck, ensuring all the other modules on the network recognize it and communicate properly from the moment you plug it in. This is the closest you can get to a factory-fresh repair, without the factory price tag.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Body Control Module do on my Sierra?
The BCM is a computer that manages the electronic systems in the vehicle’s body. This includes power windows, door locks, the security system, interior and exterior lighting, wipers, and the HVAC system. When it fails, these systems can become erratic or stop working altogether.
Is this module truly plug-and-play?
Yes. We program the module to your vehicle’s VIN before it ships. This means it’s ready for installation without needing any additional programming from a dealership. In most cases, it’s a simple swap. For certain issues like a persistent airbag light, a simple sync procedure may be needed with a capable scan tool.
Where is the BCM located on my truck?
On most 2007-2013 GM trucks and SUVs, including the Sierra, the BCM is located under the driver’s side of the dashboard, near the steering column. Installation typically takes only a few minutes with basic tools.
Do I need to return my old BCM?
No, there is no core charge for this part. You can keep or dispose of your original module, making the replacement process simple and hassle-free.
Will this fix my airbag light with code B1001?
A faulty BCM is a common cause of the B1001 code. Replacing it with this programmed 2013 Sierra Denali 3500 Body Control Module should resolve the root cause. However, after installation, you may need to perform a “Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM” procedure using a professional scan tool to sync the new BCM with the airbag system and clear the light.
How do I ensure this is the right part for my vehicle?
This module is a direct replacement for numerous part numbers, including 15926094 and 25844480. Please check the part number on your original module or use our vehicle compatibility tool to confirm fitment for your specific year and model. When you order, we will ask for your VIN to ensure perfect programming.
