Is Your Vehicle Plagued by Electrical Gremlins?
Are you experiencing bizarre and frustrating electrical issues in your Buick, Chevy, Cadillac, or GMC? Do your power windows have a mind of their own? Do your lights flicker, or does your security system act up for no reason? These aren’t just random annoyances; they are classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central nervous system for your vehicle’s body electronics, managing everything from interior lighting and power locks to the instrument cluster and security system. When it fails, it can create a cascade of confusing and unpredictable problems.
The Dealership-Free Solution: A Pre-Programmed BCM
Replacing a BCM traditionally means a costly trip to the dealership for the part, installation, and expensive programming. We offer a smarter, more efficient solution. This listing is for a replacement BCM that comes pre-programmed with your vehicle’s exact data. We achieve this through a simple cloning service: you send us your original BCM, we professionally transfer all the critical data (including VIN, mileage, and key information) to this replacement unit, and then we ship it back to you. The result is a true plug-and-play module, ready for installation right out of the box, saving you hundreds of dollars and significant downtime.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We recently had a 2011 Buick LaCrosse come in with a laundry list of complaints: the radio would turn on and off, the dome light wouldn’t work, and the key fob was intermittent. The owner had already replaced the battery and checked fuses to no avail. After a quick network scan, we pinpointed communication errors originating from the BCM. Instead of a complex and expensive replacement at the dealer, the owner opted for our cloning service. We transferred the data from his faulty module to a replacement unit. He installed it himself in under an hour, and every single electrical issue was resolved instantly. It’s a perfect example of how the right part, correctly prepared, can turn a major headache into a simple fix.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM:
- ✔ Intermittent or non-functional power windows, locks, or mirrors.
- ✔ Erratic behavior from the instrument cluster gauges or warning lights.
- ✔ Malfunctioning interior or exterior lighting (lights staying on or not turning on).
- ✔ Problems with the vehicle’s security system or keyless entry.
- ✔ Unexplained battery drain when the vehicle is off.
- ✔ Communication errors with other vehicle modules (DTCs).

Installation and Post-Install Notes
After you receive your programmed module, installation is straightforward. However, on some vehicles, additional steps may be required to sync related systems. Please note the following:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure must be performed with a professional scan tool. This is only necessary if the light appears.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: Some models may require a brake pedal position sensor recalibration to ensure proper brake light and traction control operation.
We provide this information to ensure you are fully prepared. For specific procedures, always consult your vehicle’s factory service manual or a qualified technician.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the programming service work?
After you place your order, we will provide you with instructions to ship your original BCM to us. Once we receive it, our technicians will extract the data and flash it onto the replacement module. We then ship the ready-to-install module back to you, typically within 1-2 business days.
Is this a plug-and-play solution?
Yes, because we clone the data from your original unit, this replacement BCM is designed to be plug-and-play. It will not require any additional programming at the dealership. In some rare cases, a simple relearn procedure as mentioned above may be necessary.
Why is cloning better than buying a used, non-programmed BCM?
A used BCM from a junkyard is locked to the donor vehicle’s VIN and options. It will not work in your car without being wiped and reprogrammed by a dealer, which is very expensive. Our cloning service transfers your car’s unique identity, making the replacement module work just like the original.
What information is transferred during the cloning process?
We transfer all the essential data, including the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), immobilizer/security information, mileage, and vehicle-specific option configurations. This ensures all features work correctly after installation.
Do I need to send my keys with the module?
No, you do not need to send your keys. All the necessary key data is stored within the BCM itself, and we will transfer it to the new unit. Your existing keys will work seamlessly.
