Restore Your Vehicle’s Electrical Functions with a Plug-and-Play BCM
Are you battling a storm of strange electrical issues in your vehicle? Flickering dashboard lights, power windows with a mind of their own, a horn that won’t stop, or a security system that randomly immobilizes your car? These are classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics, managing everything from your interior lights and power locks to your climate control and security system. When it fails, it can make your vehicle frustrating and unreliable to drive.
Replacing a BCM traditionally means a costly trip to the dealership for the part, plus expensive programming fees to sync the new module to your vehicle’s specific configuration and security keys. Our unique programming service eliminates this hassle entirely. We provide a replacement BCM that is a direct, plug-and-play solution, saving you time, money, and the headache of dealership appointments.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We recently had a customer with a 2012 Chevy Cruze whose windshield wipers wouldn’t turn off, no matter what they did. They had already replaced the wiper switch and motor with no luck. The battery was draining overnight, and they were at their wit’s end. After a quick diagnostic, we confirmed a faulty BCM was sending a constant ‘on’ signal to the wiper system. Instead of a complex and expensive dealership repair, they used our programming service. We cloned their original BCM’s data onto a replacement unit. They received it, plugged it in, and the wipers immediately started behaving normally. It was a simple, 15-minute install that solved a problem that had plagued them for weeks.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional power windows, door locks, and mirrors.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights staying on or not turning on at all.
- ✔ Malfunctioning windshield wipers or washers.
- ✔ Security system issues, including random alarm activation or no-start conditions.
- ✔ Inoperative remote keyless entry (key fob).
- ✔ Incorrect readings on the instrument cluster or warning lights that won’t turn off.
- ✔ Problems with the radio, climate control, or other interior accessories.
Why Choose Our Programmed 2011-2012 SRX BCM Service?
Our service is designed to be the most straightforward and reliable way to get your vehicle back on the road. We transfer the critical data from your original BCM to a fully tested replacement unit. This process, often called ‘cloning’, ensures the replacement module is an exact match for your vehicle’s software, VIN, and security information.
The process is simple:
- Place Your Order: Complete your purchase through our secure checkout.
- Ship Your Original BCM: We will contact you with clear instructions on how to package and ship your original module to our facility. Please ensure your contact information is correct at checkout.
- We Program & Ship Back: Once we receive your module, our technicians will transfer all necessary data to the replacement unit within 1-2 business days. We then ship the plug-and-play replacement BCM back to you with tracking information.
Post-Installation Procedures
Because our modules are programmed to your vehicle’s data, installation is typically a simple plug-and-play process. However, in some GM vehicles, certain safety systems may require a ‘handshake’ with the new BCM. Please be aware of the following potential procedures:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure may be needed. This requires a professional-grade scan tool to sync the airbag system with the BCM and turn off the light.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration might be necessary to ensure proper brake light and traction control functionality.
Specific procedures can vary by vehicle. We always recommend consulting a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is a ‘cloning’ or ‘programming’ service?
We extract the unique, vehicle-specific data (like the VIN, security codes, and option settings) from your original BCM and flash it onto the replacement module. This makes the new module an exact digital copy of the old one, allowing it to work in your car without any additional programming.
How long does the entire process take?
Once we receive your original module, our programming service typically takes 1-2 business days. The total time will depend on shipping times to and from our facility. We will provide you with a return tracking number as soon as your programmed module is on its way back to you.
Is this guaranteed to fix my problem?
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 root cause before ordering.
What if my original BCM is not communicating or is water damaged?
In many cases, we can still extract data from non-communicating or damaged modules. Please contact us before ordering if your module has severe physical or water damage so we can discuss the likelihood of a successful data recovery.
Do I need to send anything besides my BCM?
No, we only need the original Body Control Module itself. You do not need to send keys, other modules, or any other parts from your vehicle.
