Restore Your Truck’s Brain and End Electrical Chaos
Are you chasing down bizarre electrical issues in your GM truck or SUV? One moment the A/C works, the next it doesn’t. Your power locks have a mind of their own, and strange warning lights appear on the dash. These frustrating, intermittent problems often point to a single culprit: a failing Body Control Module (BCM). Stop guessing and replace the faulty unit with our expertly prepared, VIN-Programmed GM BCM 25844480. This is the central command unit for your vehicle’s body electronics, and our plug-and-play solution is designed to restore full functionality and get you back on the road with confidence.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
If your Yukon XL 2500, Silverado, or Tahoe is experiencing any of the following, a failing BCM is the likely cause:
- Intermittent or total loss of HVAC blower motor and climate controls.
- Malfunctioning power windows, door locks, or interior/exterior lights.
- An active airbag warning light, often with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) B1001.
- Erratic security system behavior, causing no-start conditions or stalling.
- A host of other electrical-related DTCs that seem unrelated.
This module is the definitive fix. By programming it to your vehicle’s specific VIN before shipping, we eliminate the need for an expensive trip to the dealership for coding. It arrives ready to install, syncing perfectly with your vehicle’s existing systems.

Expert Insight from Our Master Tech
“On these GMT900 platform trucks, a bad ground is the BCM’s worst enemy. Before you even unbolt the old module, take a moment to check the main ground connections, especially the one near the driver’s side A-pillar behind the kick panel. A loose or corroded ground can cause the exact same symptoms as a failed BCM and can even damage the new one over time. A few minutes with a wrench cleaning that connection can save you a huge headache and ensure your new Programmed GM BCM 25844480 works perfectly for years to come.”
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to take my truck to the dealer after installing this BCM?
No. This module is delivered fully programmed to your vehicle’s VIN. The goal is to provide a plug-and-play part that does not require any additional programming from a dealership, saving you time and money.
What if my airbag light is still on after installation?
In some cases, particularly if DTC B1001 was present, a final sync procedure is needed. This is called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ and must be performed with a professional-grade scan tool. It’s a simple procedure for a qualified technician but is not something a basic code reader can do.
How difficult is the installation?
The BCM is typically located under the driver’s side dashboard, near the steering column. Physical installation is straightforward and usually takes less than 10 minutes with basic tools. Simply disconnect the battery, unplug the electrical connectors from the old BCM, swap the module, and reconnect everything.
Is this compatible with part number 15943678?
Yes. This BCM, part number 25844480, is an interchangeable and correct replacement for a wide range of original part numbers, including 15943678, 25835966, 20939137, and many others listed in the fitment data.
What information do you need to program the module?
We require your vehicle’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to program the module correctly. Please provide your VIN at checkout to ensure a seamless plug-and-play experience.
