Are you battling frustrating electrical issues in your GMC Savana or other GM vehicle? Flickering lights, unresponsive power windows and locks, or a vehicle that refuses to start can often be traced back to a single component: a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM acts as the central hub for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it malfunctions, it can cause a cascade of confusing problems. This is the definitive, hassle-free solution to restore your vehicle’s critical functions and get you back on the road with confidence.

- Intermittent or non-working interior/exterior lights

- Security system faults or random alarm activation
- Instrument cluster warning lights (like the airbag light) illuminating for no reason

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to send you my old BCM?
No. This product comes with no core charge, so you can keep your original module without any extra fees or the hassle of returning a part.
What information do you need from me?
After you complete your purchase, we will need your vehicle’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This allows us to flash the module with the correct software and calibration files for your specific vehicle configuration.
Is this BCM difficult to install?
The installation is typically straightforward for someone with basic mechanical skills. On most models like the Savana/Express vans, the BCM is located in the center dash area. It is a plug-and-play installation, though some vehicles may require a simple relearn procedure after installation as noted in our documentation.
What if my airbag light comes on after installation?
In some cases, the new BCM needs to be synced with the airbag system’s Supplemental Deployment Module (SDM). If the airbag light is on, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure must be performed with a professional-grade scan tool to resolve the light.
Will this part fix my exact problem?
This module is the direct solution for the common symptoms of BCM failure. However, we always recommend confirming that the root cause of the issue is the BCM and not a simpler problem like a blown fuse, bad wiring, or a faulty ground connection. Proper diagnosis ensures you are ordering the correct part for your repair.
Does this part come with a warranty?
Yes, it does. This unit is backed by our one-year replacement warranty, giving you confidence in your purchase.
