Expert Insight: Check Your Grounds First
“Before you replace your BCM, take a moment to inspect the main ground connections, especially the one on the frame beneath the driver’s door. On hard-working trucks like the Silverado and Sierra, these grounds can corrode over time, causing intermittent electrical issues that perfectly mimic a bad BCM. A quick cleaning with a wire brush can sometimes solve the problem. If the grounds are clean and the issues persist, you can be confident that this programmed 2013 Silverado 3500 BCM 25835966 is the fix you need.”
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this BCM truly plug-and-play?
Yes. We program the module to the VIN you provide during checkout. This ensures it communicates correctly with your truck’s other systems, like the engine and transmission controllers, right after installation. In most cases, no further steps are needed.
What if my airbag light stays on after installation?
If the airbag light was on before replacement (often with code B1001), you may need to perform a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure using a professional-grade scan tool. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system and is a straightforward process for any qualified technician.
Where is the BCM located on my truck?
On most 2007-2013 GM trucks and SUVs, the BCM is located under the driver’s side dashboard, to the left of the steering column. It is typically held in place by a few clips or small bolts, making replacement a quick job that usually takes less than 15 minutes.
Will this fix my truck’s stalling or misfiring issues?
In some cases, yes. A failing BCM can disrupt the vehicle’s security system (Pass-Key/Pass-Lock) or send improper signals to the powertrain control module, which can lead to stalling, misfires, or a no-start condition. Replacing a faulty BCM is a common solution for these symptoms.
Do I need to send my old BCM back?
No. We do not require a core return for this part. You can keep or dispose of your original module, saving you the time and expense of shipping it back.
