Restore Your Truck’s Electrical System with Confidence
Are you battling bizarre electrical issues in your GM truck or SUV? Flickering lights, unresponsive power windows, random warning messages, or even a vehicle that refuses to start can all point to a failing Body Control Module (BCM). These problems are more than just an annoyance; they compromise your vehicle’s reliability and your peace of mind. This is the definitive, hassle-free solution to get your truck back to operating exactly as it should, without an expensive trip to the dealership.

- Intermittent or non-working power windows, door locks, or interior lights.
- Erratic instrument cluster behavior or warning lights (like the security light).
- Remote keyless entry (RKE) system failure.
- HVAC controls not responding correctly.
- A no-start condition where the engine cranks but won’t fire due to a security system fault.

An Expert’s Perspective: The Dealership vs. This Solution
As a technician with over 20 years on the floor, I’ve seen the frustration firsthand. In the past, replacing a BCM was a major ordeal. You’d buy the part, install it, and the truck would be dead. It then had to be towed to a dealer, where it would sit for a day or two waiting for a tech to program it, costing you time, money, and a massive headache. This Programmed 22846364 BCM changes the game. By handling the complex programming on our end, we’re giving the power back to you. We’re turning a multi-day, high-cost repair into a simple swap that gets your work truck or family SUV back on the road where it belongs.
Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does the BCM do?
The Body Control Module (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, security systems, and climate controls. When it fails, these systems can behave erratically.
How do I provide my VIN for programming?
After you complete your purchase, simply send us a message with your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship your order until we receive this information, as the programming is essential for the part to function in your vehicle.
Is this part truly ‘plug and play’?
For most vehicle functions, yes. Because it comes programmed, it will restore control over the primary systems immediately. However, as with any module replacement, some vehicles may require a simple relearn procedure, such as for the Brake Pedal Position sensor or syncing the airbag system (SDM key setup), which may require a professional scan tool if a warning light appears.
Where is the BCM located on my truck?
On most compatible GM trucks and SUVs from this era, the Body Control Module is located under the driver’s side of the dashboard, typically near the steering column. It is an accessible location for replacement.
What if the airbag light is on after I install it?
If the airbag (SRS) warning light comes on, it’s not a defect in the part. It simply means the new BCM needs to be electronically introduced to the airbag system’s computer. A technician with a high-level diagnostic tool will need to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to sync the modules.
Which part numbers does this BCM replace?
This module is a direct, pre-programmed replacement for the following GM part numbers: 22846364, 22737275, and 22846365. Please verify one of these numbers is on your original module to ensure compatibility.
