Restore Your Truck’s Brain and End Electrical Chaos
Are strange electrical problems making your Chevrolet Avalanche feel unreliable? One moment the A/C works, the next it doesn’t. Power windows have a mind of their own, and mysterious warning lights keep appearing on your dash. These frustrating and unpredictable issues often point to a single culprit: a failing Body Control Module (BCM). This module is the central command center for your truck’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can cause widespread chaos. Get back in control with our expertly programmed 2007-2011 Avalanche 1500 Body Control Module, designed to restore your vehicle’s full functionality and your peace of mind.

- The security system acting up, potentially leading to no-start conditions.

Expert Diagnostic Tip
From over 20 years in the garage, I’ve seen countless owners chase electrical issues by replacing switches and relays, only to find the problem persists. The BCM is the central hub; when it develops internal faults, it sends erratic signals, making other components appear faulty. Before you spend another dollar on guesswork, consider the source. Replacing a failing BCM, like this pre-programmed 2007-2011 Avalanche 1500 Body Control Module, is often the most direct and cost-effective path to a permanent fix.
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 systems. This includes power windows, door locks, the security system, interior and exterior lighting, wipers, and the HVAC system. It’s the main hub for passenger comfort and convenience features.
Is this BCM truly plug-and-play?
Yes. Because we program it to your vehicle’s VIN before it ships, it is designed to be a direct, plug-and-play replacement. In most cases, no further programming is needed. However, as with any BCM replacement, some vehicles may require a simple relearn procedure for certain systems, such as the airbag (SDM) or brake pedal position sensor, which can be done with a capable scan tool.
Do I need to send my old BCM back?
No. This part is sold without a core charge. You can keep your original module, saving you the hassle and expense of shipping it back.
My airbag light is on after installation. What should I do?
If the airbag warning light is on after installing the new BCM, a procedure called “Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM” needs to be performed. This requires a professional-grade diagnostic tool and syncs the new BCM with your vehicle’s airbag system. This is a common security step on GM vehicles.
Will this fit other GM trucks besides the Avalanche?
Absolutely. This BCM is compatible with a wide range of 2007-2013 GM trucks and SUVs, including the Chevrolet Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe; GMC Sierra, Yukon; and Cadillac Escalade. Please verify the part number or use our fitment tool to ensure it’s the correct module for your specific vehicle.
