End the Electrical Chaos in Your GM Truck or SUV
Are you battling a vehicle that seems to have a mind of its own? Flickering dashboard lights, power windows that won’t budge, a security system that acts up, or a starter that refuses to engage are all classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). This isn’t just an annoyance; it’s a critical failure that can leave you stranded. Restore full functionality and dependability to your vehicle with our expertly prepared Programmed 22846365 BCM, the central command unit for your vehicle’s body electronics.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A faulty BCM can create a cascade of confusing problems. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is the definitive solution you’ve been looking for:
- Intermittent or non-functional power windows, locks, and mirrors

Expert Insight: The BCM as Your Vehicle’s Nervous System
Think of the BCM as the central nervous system for all non-engine related electronics. It doesn’t just turn things on and off; it interprets inputs from dozens of switches and sensorsโfrom your turn signal stalk to your door latchโand sends commands to the correct components. When it starts to fail, its signals become scrambled, leading to the bizarre, unrelated symptoms that are so hard to diagnose. Replacing it with a correctly programmed unit is like giving your truck a clean bill of health, ensuring every command is sent and received exactly as the engineers intended.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I really need to provide my VIN?
Yes, absolutely. Providing your VIN is mandatory. We use it to load the correct software and calibration files for your vehicle’s specific options and features. A BCM without the correct programming will not function properly and can cause even more issues.
Is this a difficult part to install?
The physical installation is straightforward for a moderately skilled DIYer. The BCM is typically located under the steering column. However, please be aware of the potential post-installation procedures. Some vehicles may require a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ or a ‘Brake Pedal Position Relearn’ using a professional-grade scan tool to clear certain warning lights. We recommend consulting a service manual for your specific model.
Will this fix my specific electrical problem?
This Programmed 22846365 BCM is the direct solution for issues caused by a failed Body Control Module. While it resolves a vast array of common electrical problems, you should always ensure a proper diagnosis has been performed. The BCM is often the culprit for the symptoms listed above, but wiring or sensor issues can sometimes present similarly.
What if an airbag light comes on after installation?
This is a known possibility. If the airbag warning light is on after you install the new BCM, it means the BCM and the airbag’s Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM) need to be electronically re-synced. This is done via a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure, which requires a compatible high-end diagnostic tool.
Do I have to return my old BCM?
No. This product comes with no core charge. You are not required to send your original module back to us, which saves you time, shipping costs, and hassle.
