Frequently Asked Questions
What does a BCM do on a Chevy Express van?
The Body Control Module (BCM) acts as the central computer for your van’s non-engine related electronics. It controls functions like the interior and exterior lights, power windows and locks, security system, wipers, and the HVAC climate control system.
Is this BCM difficult to install?
No, installation is designed to be straightforward. The BCM is typically located in the center dash area. Since we program it to your VIN before shipping, it’s a plug-and-play process that usually takes less than 5 minutes. Disconnecting the battery before you begin is recommended.
Will I need to go to the dealership after installation?
