Restore Your Vehicleโs Electronic Core and Drive with Confidence
Are you battling a storm of bizarre electrical issues in your truck or SUV? Flickering dashboard lights, unresponsive power windows and locks, intermittent starting problems, or security system warnings that appear for no reason? These aren’t just minor annoyances; they’re symptoms of a failing Body Control Module (BCM), the central nervous system of your vehicle. This isn’t a problem you can ignore. Take control of your vehicle’s reliability with our pre-programmed BCM, the definitive, hassle-free solution to restore full functionality and peace of mind.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A failing BCM can make your vehicle feel unpredictable and unsafe. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is the solution you need:
- Erratic or non-functional interior/exterior lights
- Power windows, door locks, or mirrors not working
- Instrument cluster gauges behaving strangely or not at all
- Security system faults or random alarm activation
- Intermittent no-start or no-crank conditions
- Communication error codes with other modules (e.g., U-codes)
This programmed 22846365 BCM is engineered to be a direct, plug-and-play replacement, eliminating the guesswork and the costly trip to the dealership for programming. We handle the complex part so you can get back on the road quickly and safely.

Expert Insight: The Critical Role of VIN Programming
Why is VIN programming so important? The BCM is like the vehicle’s main traffic controller. It doesn’t just operate features; it communicates with the Engine Control Module (ECM), Transmission Control Module (TCM), and airbag system (SDM). Without being programmed to your specific VIN, a generic BCM won’t recognize your vehicle’s unique configuration, options, or security keys. This leads to a cascade of errors and a vehicle that won’t start. Our service bypasses this entire ordeal. We deliver a programmed 22846365 BCM that is ready to integrate seamlessly, saving you the diagnostic headaches and programming fees that can often exceed the cost of the part itself.
Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does the Body Control Module do?
The BCM is a computer that supervises and controls many of your vehicle’s body-related electronic functions. This includes power windows, locks, mirrors, interior and exterior lighting, the security system, wipers, and instrument panel warnings. When it fails, it can cause a wide variety of seemingly unrelated electrical problems.
Why do you need my VIN number?
Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) allows us to access the exact factory software and calibration files for your specific vehicle. We use it to program the BCM so it matches your engine, transmission, security system, and all factory-installed options, ensuring a true plug-and-play installation.
My original part number is 22737275. Will this work?
Yes. This BCM, part number 22846365, is a direct replacement for several part numbers, including 22737275 and 22846364. As long as your vehicle is listed in the compatibility chart, this module will function correctly once programmed to your VIN.
Are any special procedures needed after installation?
In some cases, yes. Depending on your specific model, you may need a professional scan tool to perform a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure if the airbag light is on, or a ‘Brake Pedal Position Relearn’. These are standard procedures after a BCM replacement and ensure all systems are properly synced.
Is this a difficult part to install myself?
For someone with moderate DIY mechanical experience, the installation is straightforward. The BCM is typically located under the driver’s side of the dashboard. The main challenge is accessing it. The key benefit of our programmed 22846365 BCM is that the most difficult partโthe electronic programmingโis already done for you.
