From the Shop Floor: The Work Van That Wouldn’t Cooperate
We recently had a contractor’s 2006 Savana van in the shop. The driver’s side power window was dead, the dome lights would flicker, and the A/C was intermittent—a nightmare on a hot day. He was losing valuable time on the job dealing with these frustrating issues. After diagnosing the problem, we installed this pre-programmed 10383536 Body Control Module. The entire swap took less than 10 minutes. Immediately, the window worked, the lights were steady, and the A/C blew cold. He was back on the road to his next job, relieved to have his reliable workhorse back. That’s the power of a direct-fit, correctly programmed part.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Body Control Module do?
The BCM is a computer that manages and controls many of your vehicle’s non-engine related electronic functions. This includes power windows, door locks, the security system, interior and exterior lighting, wipers, and the HVAC blower motor, among other things.
Is this part difficult to install?
For most compatible models, the BCM is located under the steering column or center dash and is designed for easy access. The physical installation is typically straightforward and can often be completed in under 10 minutes with basic tools. Just remember to disconnect the battery first.
Will I need to visit the dealership after installation?
No. Because we pre-program the module to your vehicle’s VIN, you can skip the expensive and time-consuming trip to the dealer for programming. It’s designed to be a plug-and-play solution.
What if my airbag light is on after installing the new BCM?
In some cases, the new BCM may need to be synced with the airbag system’s computer (SDM). This is a simple procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ that can be performed with a professional-grade diagnostic scan tool to turn off the light.
Is there a core charge for my old part?
No, there is no core charge. You can keep your original module without the hassle of needing to return it.
