End Frustrating Electrical Problems and Get Your Van Back on the Job.
Is your work van suffering from bizarre electrical issues? Flickering lights, power windows with a mind of their own, or a security system that prevents you from starting the engine? These aren’t just annoyances; they’re symptoms of a failing Body Control Module (BCM) that can lead to costly downtime and lost revenue. This pre-programmed BCM is the definitive, reliable solution to get your vehicle’s electronics operating precisely as they should, getting you back to work without delay.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A failing BCM can cause a cascade of confusing problems. You might be experiencing intermittent issues that are impossible to pin down, or a complete failure of multiple systems. If you’re seeing any of the following, it’s a strong indicator that your BCM needs replacement:
- Interior or exterior lights not working correctly (staying on, not turning on, or flickering)
- Power windows, door locks, or mirrors behaving erratically or not at all
- The vehicle’s security system preventing it from starting (anti-theft light flashing)
- Erratic gauge cluster behavior or warning lights that won’t turn off
- Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) related to communication errors (U-codes) or specific body systems
This module is the direct-fit, professional-grade fix. We take the guesswork and hassle out of the repair by programming the unit to your vehicle’s specific VIN before it ships. This means no expensive trip to the dealership for programmingโit arrives ready for installation.

Expert Insight: From a Seasoned Technician
“I had a local contractor with a fleet of Savana vans. One of his main workhorses had these ghost-in-the-machine problemsโthe battery would die overnight, the dome lights would flicker, and sometimes the van just wouldn’t start. He was losing jobs because he couldn’t rely on his vehicle. After diagnosing a faulty BCM, we installed a Programmed 22820314 BCM for him. The key was that it arrived ready to go. We had him back on the road in under an hour, and he hasn’t had an issue since. For a business owner, minimizing downtime is everything, and this is the most efficient way to solve these specific electrical headaches.”
Important Post-Installation Information
While this module is designed for a straightforward installation, some vehicle systems may require recalibration after the BCM is replaced. Please be aware of the following potential procedures:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is on after installation, a professional scan tool is needed to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be necessary for proper brake light and traction control operation.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for vehicle-specific procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does a Body Control Module (BCM) do?
The BCM acts as the central computer for your vehicle’s body electronics. It controls non-engine related functions like power windows, door locks, interior and exterior lighting, the alarm system, and even the wipers. When it fails, you get the strange, often unrelated electrical issues that are so hard to diagnose.
How do I provide my VIN for programming?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship your part until we receive this information, as the programming is specific to your exact vehicle build.
Is this a difficult part to install myself?
For someone with moderate mechanical experience, the physical replacement is typically straightforward. The BCM is usually located under the dashboard on the driver’s side. The main challenge with a standard replacement is the need for dealer programming. Our pre-programmed module eliminates that step, making the job much more accessible for experienced DIYers or any professional mechanic.
What if my airbag light comes on after installation?
This is a known possibility. It means the new BCM needs to be electronically ‘introduced’ to the vehicle’s airbag module (SDM). A procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ must be performed with a bi-directional scan tool. Most professional repair shops can perform this service for you.
Will this fix my specific electrical problem?
While this Programmed 22820314 BCM is the solution for a wide range of common electrical failures, proper diagnosis is key. If you’ve confirmed your BCM is the source of the issue through diagnostic testing or by a professional technician, this part is the reliable solution to restore proper function to your vehicle.
