Restore Your Truck’s Brain and End Electrical Chaos
If you’re dealing with bizarre electrical issues in your 2015 Sierra Denali 3500—like power windows with a mind of their own, flickering interior lights, or a radio that randomly cuts out—you’re not alone. As a technician with over two decades of experience, I’ve seen these exact problems countless times. The culprit is almost always a failing Body Control Module (BCM). Think of the BCM as the central nervous system for your truck’s comfort and convenience features. When it starts to go, it can cause a cascade of frustrating, seemingly unrelated problems.
This isn’t just another part. This is a complete, hassle-free solution. We offer a professional cloning service for this BCM, which fits part numbers like 13594769, 13594692, 13594768, and more. You simply send us your original module, and we transfer all of its vital data—including VIN, mileage, and key programming—to this replacement unit. The result? A true plug-and-play module that requires no expensive trip to the dealership for programming. It’s the most efficient and cost-effective way to get your truck back to 100% functionality.
Case Study: A Tricky Diagnosis
A customer brought in his ’15 Silverado 2500, a cousin to the Sierra, with a complaint that was driving him crazy: the horn would honk randomly, and the driver’s side power seat wouldn’t adjust. He’d already replaced the horn pad and the seat switch with no luck. A scan showed a handful of U-codes, specifically a U0140 (Lost Communication With Body Control Module). Instead of just throwing parts at it, we checked the BCM’s data stream. We saw erratic inputs even when no buttons were being pressed. This confirmed the BCM itself was internally shorted. By providing a cloned 2015 Sierra Denali 3500 BCM, we solved both issues at once, saving him hundreds in diagnostic fees and parts he didn’t need.
Common Signs of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional power windows, locks, and mirrors.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights staying on or not turning on at all.
- ✔ The security system acting up, preventing the vehicle from starting.
- ✔ Instrument cluster gauges behaving erratically or going dark.
- ✔ Radio or infotainment system randomly shutting off or failing to power on.
- ✔ Common Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) like U0140, U0155, B1001, or B1325.
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
- ✔ Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery before starting any electrical work.
- ✔ Locate the BCM: On most GM trucks like the Sierra and Silverado, the BCM is located under the driver’s side of the dashboard, often near the steering column. You may need to remove a lower dash panel for access.
- ✔ Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the multiple wiring harnesses connected to the module. They have locking tabs that need to be depressed. Once disconnected, unbolt or unclip the old BCM from its mounting bracket.
- ✔ Install the New Module: Mount your newly programmed BCM in the same location. Reconnect all wiring harnesses, ensuring each one clicks securely into place.
- ✔ Reconnect and Test: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Turn the key to the ‘On’ position and test all functions—windows, locks, lights, radio, etc.—to confirm the repair was successful.
Post-Installation Checks
Our cloning service makes this a nearly seamless swap. However, in some vehicles, a couple of quick relearn procedures may be needed. No core charge is required; you can keep your original module.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag light is on after installation, a professional scan tool is needed to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. This is only necessary if the light appears.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: To ensure proper brake light and stability control operation, a brake pedal position sensor relearn might be required on certain models.
Disclaimer: Vehicle systems vary. Always have a factory service manual for your specific vehicle on hand or consult with a qualified professional if you are unsure about any step.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the cloning service and why do I need it?
Our cloning service transfers all the unique, vehicle-specific data from your original BCM to the replacement unit. This includes the VIN, security information, and other settings. This process makes the replacement module plug-and-play, avoiding the need for expensive and complicated programming at a dealership.
Do I need to send my original BCM to you?
Yes. To perform the cloning service, we require your original module. After you place your order, we will provide you with shipping instructions. We’ll program the replacement and ship it back to you promptly.
Is this a guaranteed fix for my truck’s electrical problems?
If your vehicle’s symptoms match those of a failing BCM and the module has been properly diagnosed as the fault, this part is the correct solution. A faulty 2015 Sierra Denali 3500 BCM is a very common point of failure for these issues.
What tools do I need for installation?
Basic hand tools are typically all that’s required, such as a socket set for the battery terminal and possibly a trim removal tool for the lower dash panel. No special electronic tools are needed for the physical installation.
Is there a core charge for this part?
No, there is no core charge. You are not required to send your old part back to us after you receive the programmed replacement, though we do need it initially for the cloning process.
