Restore Full Electrical Function to Your Vehicle
Are you experiencing a cascade of bizarre electrical issues in your Chevrolet Orlando or other compatible GM vehicle? From flickering lights and malfunctioning power windows to a car that won’t start, a failing Body Control Module (BCM) can turn your daily drive into a frustrating guessing game. The BCM is the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can cause widespread and unpredictable problems. This listing is for a professional programming service that provides you with a fully functional, plug-and-play replacement 2013-2014 Orlando BCM, getting you back on the road without the exorbitant costs and hassle of a dealership visit.
Understanding the Role of the Body Control Module
Think of the BCM as the brain of your car’s comfort and convenience systems. It doesn’t control the engine, but it manages nearly everything else. It takes input from switches (like your window switch or headlight knob) and sensors (like door-ajar sensors) and sends commands to operate various accessories. This includes power windows, door locks, interior and exterior lighting, the alarm system, wipers, and even parts of the climate control. Because it’s so deeply integrated, a fault within the BCM can manifest in numerous ways, often making diagnosis difficult for the average owner.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
If your vehicle is suffering from a faulty BCM, you might be all too familiar with some of these issues. A failing module can cause one or more of the following problems:
- ✔ Intermittent or non-functional power windows, locks, or mirrors.
- ✔ Headlights, taillights, or interior lights staying on or not turning on at all.
- ✔ The security system acting erratically, causing the alarm to go off randomly or preventing the engine from starting.
- ✔ Dashboard warning lights appearing for no reason.
- ✔ Wipers operating incorrectly or not parking in the correct position.
- ✔ Key fob not working to lock or unlock the doors.
- ✔ A complete no-start condition where the starter doesn’t even engage.
Our Simple, Plug-and-Play Cloning Service
Why is our service the best solution for your faulty 2013-2014 Orlando BCM? A new BCM from the dealer requires expensive programming to sync it with your vehicle’s unique key information and options. A used module from a salvage yard has the same problem—it’s locked to the donor car. Our professional cloning service bypasses this entirely. We transfer the critical data from your original module directly onto a replacement unit. This makes the replacement BCM a perfect digital twin of your original, ensuring a seamless, plug-and-play installation.
The process is straightforward:
- Place Your Order: Complete your purchase through our secure checkout.
- We Contact You: We will reach out to you with clear, simple instructions and the shipping address for sending us your original BCM.
- Ship Your Module: Carefully package and ship your original BCM to our facility.
- We Program Your Replacement: Upon arrival, our technicians will expertly clone all necessary data from your module to a replacement unit.
- Receive Your Ready-to-Install BCM: We ship the programmed replacement module back to you, typically within 24-48 hours of receiving your original. You’ll receive tracking information so you know exactly when it will arrive.
Post-Installation Procedures
Because our service clones your original data, the installation is typically plug-and-play. However, in some GM vehicles, certain systems may require a quick relearn procedure to fully sync with the ‘new’ module. Please be aware of the following potential steps:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, it means the BCM and the SDM (Sensing and Diagnostic Module) need to be re-synced. A professional scan tool is required to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. This is only necessary if the light appears.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: To ensure proper brake light and traction control function, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration might be needed. This is also performed with a professional-grade diagnostic tool.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for vehicle-specific procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I have to send my original BCM to you?
Your original BCM contains vital security and vehicle-specific configuration data. By cloning this data to the replacement module, we make the new part plug-and-play, saving you from needing expensive dealer programming.
What if my original BCM is completely dead or not communicating?
In many cases, even if the BCM is not functioning in the vehicle, we can still extract the necessary data on our bench-top equipment. Please contact us if your module has severe water or fire damage.
Is this a simple installation I can do myself?
Yes, for many DIYers, this is a straightforward job. The BCM is typically located under the dash or in a kick panel. You simply disconnect the battery, unplug the electrical connectors from the old BCM, remove it, install the new one, and reconnect everything.
How long does the entire process take?
We typically program and ship your replacement module within 24-48 hours of receiving your original BCM. The total time will depend on the shipping speed you choose to send your module to us and for us to return it.
Do I need to do anything after installing the new BCM?
In most cases, no additional steps are needed. However, as mentioned above, some vehicles may require an airbag sync or brake pedal position relearn if specific warning lights appear. These procedures require a professional scan tool.
