Is Your GM Truck or SUV Plagued by Baffling Electrical Problems?
Flickering lights, power windows with a mind of their own, a security system that won’t cooperate, or warning messages that appear for no reason—these are more than just annoyances. They’re classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM), the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics. When the BCM falters, it can make your dependable truck or luxury SUV feel unreliable and frustrating to drive. It’s time to stop chasing electrical gremlins and implement a definitive solution.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
If you’re experiencing any of the following issues, a faulty BCM is the most likely culprit. This pre-programmed module is the direct, reliable fix for your 2012-2014 GM vehicle.
- Intermittent or non-working power windows, door locks, and mirrors.
- Erratic interior dome lights, headlights, or taillights.
- Malfunctioning windshield wipers or climate control functions.
- False security system alarms or key fob recognition issues.
- Warning lights on the dash, such as for the airbag system (post-install sync may be needed).
- Communication errors with other vehicle modules (DTCs like U-codes).
Our Programmed 22846365 BCM arrives at your door flashed with the latest GM software and coded specifically to your vehicle’s VIN. This critical service eliminates the need for an expensive trip to the dealership for programming, saving you time, money, and hassle.

Expert Insight: The BCM is Your Vehicle’s Middle Manager
As a technician, I’ve seen countless owners spend hundreds of dollars replacing individual switches, motors, and sensors, only to find the root cause was the BCM all along. Think of the BCM as the middle manager of your truck’s electronics. It takes commands from you (like pressing the window switch) and tells the components (the window motor) what to do. When it starts failing, its commands become erratic, leading to the frustrating issues you’re seeing. By replacing it with a properly Programmed 22846365 BCM, you’re not just fixing a part; you’re restoring the entire chain of command, ensuring reliable operation for years to come. Be aware that in some cases, simple relearn procedures for the brake pedal position sensor or airbag system may be required after installation, which can be performed by many independent shops.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need to provide my VIN?
Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is essential because it contains all the specific information about your vehicle’s options and features. We use the VIN to load the correct factory software and settings onto the BCM, making it a true plug-and-play part for your exact vehicle.
Is this installation difficult?
The physical installation is straightforward for someone with basic mechanical skills. The BCM is typically located under the driver’s side dashboard. The main challenge without our service is the programming, which we handle for you. While the module is plug-and-play, some vehicles may require a Brake Pedal Position Relearn or an SDM Key Sync for the airbag system, which can be done with a professional scan tool.
How do I know for sure my BCM has failed?
The most definitive way is a professional diagnosis. However, if your vehicle is experiencing multiple, unrelated electrical issues (like power locks and interior lights failing simultaneously), the BCM is a very strong suspect. This module controls a wide array of functions, so its failure often creates widespread problems.
Will this fit my truck if my original part number is different?
Yes. This BCM, part number 22846365, is the correct, updated replacement for several earlier part numbers, including 22737275 and 22846364. As long as your vehicle make, model, and year are on our compatibility list, this module will function correctly.
What happens if the airbag light is on after I install it?
This can happen occasionally. It means the new BCM needs to be electronically introduced to the airbag system’s computer (SDM). This is a simple procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ that can be performed by any qualified technician with a high-level diagnostic scan tool.
