Restore Full Electrical Function to Your Vehicle
Are you experiencing frustrating and unpredictable electrical issues in your 2011 Buick Regal or another compatible GM vehicle? Symptoms like malfunctioning power windows, flickering interior lights, a non-responsive key fob, or random warning lights on your dash often point to a single culprit: a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central nervous system for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can cause a cascade of problems. This listing offers a straightforward, reliable solution: a replacement BCM, part number 13582396, that comes fully programmed by cloning the data from your original unit.
The Simple, Cost-Effective Repair Solution
Forget expensive trips to the dealership that involve purchasing a new module, paying for labor, and then spending hundreds more on programming fees. Our professional cloning service makes this repair accessible and affordable. We transfer all the critical information—including your vehicle’s VIN, key fob data, mileage, and specific options—from your original BCM to this replacement unit. The result is a true plug-and-play module that restores your vehicle’s functionality without any additional programming required on your end.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We recently had a 2011 Chevy Equinox in the shop with a classic BCM failure. The owner was dealing with intermittent no-starts and a security light that would stay on, preventing the vehicle from cranking. The key fobs had also stopped working. After confirming the BCM was the source of the communication error, we explained the options. A new module from the dealer would have meant towing the vehicle, waiting for the part, and paying for several hours of diagnostic and programming time. Instead, the customer opted for our cloning service. He removed his BCM, shipped it to us, and within a few days, he received a fully programmed replacement. He installed it himself in under 30 minutes, and the Equinox started right up with all functions restored. It’s a perfect example of how this service saves both time and money.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Intermittent or non-working power windows, locks, or mirrors.
- ✔ Erratic behavior from interior or exterior lights (flickering, staying on, or not turning on).
- ✔ Key fob not locking or unlocking the doors.
- ✔ Vehicle’s security system engaging randomly or preventing the car from starting.
- ✔ Unexplained battery drain that leaves you with a dead battery.
- ✔ False warnings on the instrument cluster (e.g., ‘Service Airbag’ or ‘Service StabiliTrak’).
- ✔ Malfunctioning climate control or radio controls.
How Our BCM Programming Service Works
Our process is designed to be as simple as possible for you. Here’s how it works:
- Place Your Order: Purchase this BCM programming service. Please ensure your contact information is accurate.
- We Contact You: After your purchase, our team will reach out with clear, step-by-step instructions on how to remove and ship your original BCM to our facility.
- Data Transfer: Once we receive your module, our technicians will use specialized equipment to extract the complete data profile and flash it onto the replacement BCM.
- Return Shipping: We ship the newly programmed replacement BCM back to you. You will receive tracking information as soon as it’s on its way.
Installation and Post-Installation Notes
Because we’ve cloned your original data, installation is typically as simple as disconnecting the battery, swapping the modules, and reconnecting the battery. However, in some GM vehicles, additional synchronization procedures may be needed:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is on after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure must be performed with a professional scan tool. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On certain models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration might be necessary to ensure correct brake light operation and traction control performance.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician if you are unsure about any part of the installation process.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Body Control Module (BCM)?
The BCM is a computer in your vehicle that controls and monitors various electronic accessories, such as power windows, lighting, keyless entry, security systems, and more. It acts as a central hub for these functions.
Why is this cloning service better than buying a new BCM?
Our cloning service transfers your vehicle’s exact configuration, VIN, and security information to the replacement module. This makes the unit plug-and-play, avoiding the high cost and hassle of dealership programming that is required for a brand new BCM.
How long does the programming service take once you receive my module?
We pride ourselves on a fast turnaround. Typically, the programming and testing process is completed within 1-2 business days of us receiving your original BCM.
Is this BCM truly plug-and-play?
Yes, in over 95% of cases, the module is completely plug-and-play. In rare instances, as mentioned above, a simple relearn procedure for the airbag or brake pedal sensor may be required using a professional scan tool.
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 directly from its memory chip. Please contact us before ordering if your module is severely damaged by water or fire.
How do I know if this part will fit my vehicle?
Please match one of the part numbers listed in the description (e.g., 13582396, 13583450) to the part number on your original BCM. The fitment list provided also details the specific makes, models, and years this part is compatible with.
