Is Your GM Truck or SUV Plagued by Bizarre Electrical Problems?
Dealing with flickering lights, a non-responsive HVAC system, or power windows with a mind of their own can be incredibly frustrating.

Expert Insight: The Overlooked Ground Connection
As a technician with over two decades of experience, I’ve seen countless BCM replacements. One of the most common reasons for a repeat failure or persistent issues is a poor ground connection. On these GM platforms, the main BCM ground is located on the driver’s side A-pillar, near the emergency brake pedal. Over time, corrosion can build up and create resistance. When you install your new 2007-2011 Suburban 2500 Body Control Module, take an extra five minutes to remove, clean, and secure this ground point. A wire brush and some dielectric grease can make all the difference, ensuring a stable electrical foundation for your new module and preventing future headaches.
Whether you’re getting your Silverado back to the job site or ensuring your Tahoe is reliable for the family, this module is the right choice. It is a direct replacement for a wide range of part numbers, including 25844480, 22860591, 25835966, 15943678, 20939137, and more, making it a versatile solution for many 2007-2013 GM trucks and SUVs. Installing this high-quality 2007-2011 Suburban 2500 Body Control Module is the most effective way to put an end to frustrating electrical issues for good.
Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does a Body Control Module do?
The BCM is a computer that acts as the central hub for your vehicle’s body electronics. It controls non-engine related functions like your lights, power windows, door locks, wipers, security system, and HVAC, ensuring they all work together correctly.
Why is VIN programming so important?
VIN programming loads your vehicle’s specific software and options into the BCM. Without it, the module won’t know how to communicate with other components, leading to feature malfunctions or the module not working at all. Our pre-programming saves you a mandatory, and often costly, visit to the dealership.
Is this part difficult to install?
No, the physical installation is typically very straightforward. The BCM is usually located under the driver’s side dashboard near the steering column. The process generally takes less than 15 minutes with basic tools. The key is that our part requires no additional programming after installation.
What if the airbag light is on after I install it?
In some cases, particularly if DTC B1001 was present, the new BCM needs to be electronically introduced to the airbag system’s computer (SDM). This is done with a professional scan tool using a function called “Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM.” It’s a quick procedure for any competent repair shop.
Will this module fit my specific GM truck or SUV?
This BCM is compatible with a wide array of 2007-2013 GM models, including the Silverado, Sierra, Suburban, Tahoe, Yukon, Escalade, and Avalanche. Please check the detailed fitment list on this page or match one of the interchangeable part numbers to ensure it’s the correct part for your vehicle.
Do I need to send my old BCM back?
No, there is no core charge for this part. You can keep your old module, which saves you the time and expense of packaging and shipping it back.
