Is Your Vehicle Plagued by Electrical Gremlins?
If your Buick Regal, LaCrosse, Chevy Cruze, or other compatible GM vehicle is experiencing bizarre electrical issues, a failing Body Control Module (BCM) is often the culprit. The BCM acts as the central nervous system for your car’s body electronics, managing everything from power windows and door locks to interior lighting, security systems, and communication between other modules. When it starts to fail, it can create a cascade of frustrating and seemingly unrelated problems that can be difficult to diagnose.
The Simple, Dealer-Free Solution: Mail-In Programming Service
Forget expensive dealership visits and the complexities of programming a new module from scratch. Our unique mail-in service provides you with a fully programmed, plug-and-play replacement BCM. The process is straightforward: you purchase this service, ship your original BCM to us, and we handle the rest. We meticulously transfer all the critical data—including VIN, mileage, and key information—from your original unit to a replacement module. This cloning process ensures that the replacement BCM is a perfect digital twin of your original, guaranteeing seamless integration with your vehicle’s existing systems. Once the programming is complete, we ship the ready-to-install module back to you.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We once had a 2011 Chevy Equinox come in with a classic parasitic drain issue. The owner had already replaced the battery twice and the alternator once, but the battery would still be dead every few mornings. After hours of tracing circuits, we isolated the drain to the BCM. It wasn’t fully ‘going to sleep’ after the car was turned off, causing a slow but steady power draw. Instead of a costly new module and dealer programming, we provided a cloned replacement. The customer installed it in their driveway, and the parasitic drain vanished. It’s a perfect example of how a faulty 2011 Regal Body Control Module or its equivalent can cause symptoms that seem unrelated to its primary function.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Intermittent or non-functional power windows, door locks, or mirrors.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights staying on, flickering, or not working at all.
- ✔ The security system acting erratically, or the alarm going off for no reason.
- ✔ Inaccurate gauge readings or warning lights on the dashboard.
- ✔ Remote keyless entry failing to work.
- ✔ Communication errors with other vehicle modules, leading to a no-start condition.
- ✔ Unexplained battery drain when the vehicle is off.

Post-Installation Information
While our goal is a 100% plug-and-play experience, certain vehicle systems may require a simple sync or relearn procedure after installation. Please be aware of the following possibilities:
- Airbag System Sync: In some cases, the airbag warning light may illuminate after the new BCM is installed. This does not indicate a fault with the airbag system itself, but rather a loss of sync between the BCM and the SDM (Sensing and Diagnostic Module). A ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure, performed with a professional scan tool, will resolve this.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: A recalibration of the brake pedal position sensor might be necessary to ensure correct brake light operation and to satisfy the traction control system. This is a simple procedure that can be performed with a capable diagnostic tool.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for vehicle-specific procedures.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a BCM cloning service?
It’s a process where we read the essential vehicle-specific data from your original, faulty BCM and write it onto a replacement unit. This makes the new module a perfect copy, allowing it to be installed without any additional programming.
How long does the programming service take?
We typically program and ship your replacement BCM within 1-2 business days of receiving your original module. We will provide you with tracking information as soon as it ships.
Do I need to send my keys with the module?
No, you do not need to send your keys. Because we are cloning all the data from your original BCM, the replacement will already recognize your existing keys.
Is this a guaranteed fix for my car’s electrical problems?
This service corrects issues caused by a faulty BCM. While the symptoms listed are very common for BCM failure, we always recommend a proper diagnosis by a qualified mechanic to confirm the BCM is the source of your problem before ordering.
What if the airbag light is on after I install the new BCM?
If the airbag light comes on, it simply means the BCM and the airbag module (SDM) need to be re-synchronized. A technician with a professional scan tool can perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to turn off the light.
