Stop Chasing Electrical Gremlins in Your GM Truck or Van
Are you dealing with bizarre and frustrating electrical issues in your Silverado, Sierra, Savana, or Express van? Flickering lights, power windows with a mind of their own, a security system that won’t cooperate, or a dashboard that lights up with random warnings? These are classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). For a vehicle you rely on daily, this isn’t just an annoyance—it’s a hit to your productivity and peace of mind. Get back in control with this fully programmed BCM, designed to restore your truck’s factory functions and get you back on the road without a costly trip to the dealership.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM & Your Solution
A faulty BCM can cause a wide range of confusing symptoms because it acts as the central hub for your vehicle’s body electronics. If you’re experiencing any of the following, our programmed BCM 15136224 is the definitive solution:
- Intermittent or non-working power windows, door locks, or mirrors
- Headlights, taillights, or interior lights behaving erratically
- The security system preventing the engine from starting (Security light on)
- Erratic or non-functional dashboard gauges
- Communication error codes (U-codes) when scanned
- Problems with the radio or climate control functions
Instead of paying for expensive diagnostic time and programming fees at a dealership, this module arrives ready for installation, specifically flashed to your vehicle’s unique Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).

From the Technician’s Bench: I’ve worked on hundreds of these GMT800-platform trucks and vans. They are absolute workhorses, but the BCM is a known weak point after a decade or two of service. The real headache for most owners isn’t swapping the part—it’s the programming. In the past, you were forced to have the truck towed to a dealer. A programmed BCM 15136224 changes the game. It turns a multi-day, high-cost repair into a simple job you can do in your own garage, saving you time, money, and the stress of having your primary vehicle out of commission.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the programming process work?
It’s simple. After you complete your purchase, you will need to provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. We use this to load the correct, vehicle-specific software and key data onto the BCM before we ship it to you.
Is this a true plug-and-play installation?
For most vehicles, yes. The BCM arrives ready to be installed. However, in some cases, certain post-install procedures may be required. For example, if your airbag light comes on, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key’ procedure may be needed. A ‘Brake Pedal Position Relearn’ might also be necessary. These procedures can be performed by a shop with a professional-grade scan tool.
What exactly does a Body Control Module do?
The BCM is a computer that manages and controls the electronic accessories inside the vehicle’s body. This includes power windows, locks, interior and exterior lighting, security systems, wipers, and more. When it fails, these systems can become unreliable.
Where is the BCM located on my vehicle?
The location varies slightly by model. On Silverado and Sierra pickups, it is typically found under the steering column. On Savana and Express vans, it is usually located in the center of the dash.
Will this fix my specific problem?
This module will correct issues caused by a faulty BCM. However, it’s important to ensure your vehicle has been properly diagnosed. Electrical problems can also stem from bad fuses, relays, wiring, or switches. We recommend checking these simple items first.
Do I need to send my old BCM back?
No. We do not require you to return your original part. There is no core charge associated with this purchase.
