Frequently Asked Questions
Is this BCM difficult to install?
Installation is generally straightforward for someone with basic mechanical skills. The BCM is typically located under the driver’s side dash, near the steering column. The process involves disconnecting the battery, removing a few trim panels, and swapping the electrical connectors. Most installations take under 30 minutes.
What does “VIN Programmed” actually mean?
It means we load your vehicle’s unique 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and its specific factory options into the module before we ship it. This ensures the BCM communicates perfectly with your truck’s other computers (like the ECU and TCM) right out of the box, just like the original part did.
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 hassle of return shipping.
What if my airbag light is on after installation?
In some cases, the new BCM may need to be synchronized with the airbag system (SDM). This is a simple procedure called “Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM” that can be performed with a professional-grade scan tool. This is only necessary if the airbag light appears after the BCM is installed.
How do I know this is the correct part for my truck?
The best way is to match the part number from your original BCM to one of the interchangeable numbers listed (10383536, 15116066, etc.). You can also use the compatibility chart on this page or contact our expert support team with your VIN, and we will verify the correct fitment for you.
