Is Your GM Truck or SUV Plagued by Bizarre Electrical Issues?
Are you dealing with an HVAC system that has a mind of its own, power windows that refuse to work, or dashboard warning lights that won’t turn off? These frustrating and unpredictable problems often point to a single culprit: a failing Body Control Module (BCM). Your vehicle’s BCM is the central computer for all its comfort and convenience features. When it starts to fail, it can make your reliable truck or SUV feel like it’s falling apart. Restore order and full functionality with our plug-and-play, VIN-programmed Body Control Module.

If you’re experiencing any of the following, a faulty BCM is the likely cause. This module is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s electronic systems to perfect working order.
- Intermittent or non-working HVAC and blower motor controls
- Power windows, door locks, or exterior/interior lights failing to operate correctly
- An illuminated airbag warning light, often accompanied by DTC B1001
- Security system malfunctions, causing no-start conditions or random stalling
- A variety of seemingly unrelated diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs)

Expert Insight: The Critical Role of VIN Programming
Many owners consider buying a used BCM from a salvage yard to save money, but this is often a mistake. A BCM is not a simple one-size-fits-all part; it’s coded with the specific options and security information of its original vehicle. Installing a non-programmed module will, at best, result in features not working, and at worst, prevent your vehicle from starting altogether. Our VIN programming service writes your vehicle’s exact data to the module before it ships. This ensures that when you install our 25844479 BCM, it communicates flawlessly with your vehicle’s other computers (like the ECU and SDM), just like the original part did.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to have this BCM programmed by a dealer?
No. This module is sold as a plug-and-play solution. We program it using your vehicle’s VIN before shipping, so it’s ready for installation as soon as you receive it, with no additional programming required.
What tools are needed for installation?
Installation is typically straightforward, requiring only basic hand tools like a socket set to remove the lower dash panel. The BCM is usually located under the driver’s side dashboard, near the steering column, and is held in place by simple clips or small bolts.
My airbag light is on. Will this fix it?
This module will resolve BCM-related airbag codes like B1001. However, if the airbag light remains on after installation, you may need a technician with a high-level scan tool to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ function to re-sync the systems. This is a common final step in the process.
Is this compatible with part number 25835966 or others?
Yes, this module is a direct replacement for a wide range of GM part numbers, including 25835966, 15943678, 20939137, 22860591, and many others listed in our product details. Our programmed 25844479 BCM serves as a reliable replacement for all listed interchange numbers.
What if I have other electrical problems after installation?
While the BCM is a common failure point, it’s always wise to check for underlying issues. Poor grounding is a frequent cause of electrical problems in these GM trucks. Ensure the main body and chassis grounds are clean and tight during the replacement process to prevent recurring issues.
