Restore Your Vehicle’s Electrical System with Confidence
Are you battling frustrating and unpredictable electrical problems in your GM vehicle? Flickering lights, unresponsive power windows, a dead instrument cluster, or a car that won’t start can all point to a failing Body Control Module (BCM). These issues can disrupt your daily life and create a sense of uncertainty every time you get behind the wheel. This professionally programmed Body Control Module is the definitive solution, designed to restore your vehicle’s full functionality and get you back on the road with peace of mind.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A faulty BCM acts like a glitch in your vehicle’s central nervous system. If you’re experiencing any of the following, it’s a strong indicator that your BCM needs attention:
- Erratic or non-functional interior and exterior lights
- Power windows, locks, or mirrors working intermittently or not at all
- Warning lights appearing on the dash for no reason
- Problems with the security system or keyless entry
- Intermittent no-start conditions
- Communication errors with other vehicle modules (DTCs like U0100, U0140)
Our service provides a simple, direct fix. We take your original BCM, extract all the vehicle-specific dataโincluding VIN, mileage, and security informationโand flash it directly onto this replacement unit. The result is a Programmed 13586273 BCM that is truly plug-and-play, eliminating the need for an expensive and time-consuming trip to the dealership for programming.

Expert Insight: Why Cloning is the Superior Method
When a BCM fails, many people think they can just buy a used one and swap it in. Unfortunately, it’s not that simple. Modern BCMs are locked to a specific vehicle’s VIN and security system. A mismatched BCM can cause a no-start condition or trigger the anti-theft system. Our cloning service bypasses this entire problem. By transferring the ‘digital DNA’ from your original unit to the replacement, we ensure the new module is a perfect match for your car’s ecosystem. It’s the most reliable and efficient way to perform this repair, guaranteeing compatibility and saving you from complex diagnostic headaches.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does this programming service work?
It’s a simple mail-in process. After you purchase, we will provide instructions for shipping your original BCM to us. Once we receive it, our technicians will clone the data to the replacement module and ship it back to you, typically within 1-2 business days. You’ll receive a ready-to-install part.
Will I need to do any programming or calibration myself?
No, the main programming is completely handled by us. In some specific cases, as noted in our post-installation procedures, a simple relearn procedure like for the Brake Pedal Position Sensor or Airbag System might be necessary, which can be done with a capable scan tool.
What are the most common signs of a failing BCM?
The most common symptoms are strange electrical issues. This includes power windows, locks, and lights acting erratically, false warning lights on the dashboard, key fob issues, and sometimes even a no-start condition where the engine cranks but won’t fire up.
How long does the entire process take?
Once we receive your original module, our service is completed within 24-48 hours. The total time will depend on shipping transit times to and from our facility.
What if my airbag light comes on after installation?
This can happen occasionally. It simply means the new BCM needs to be synced with the airbag module (SDM). A procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ can be performed by a technician with a professional scan tool to resolve this and turn off the light.
Is this compatible with other part numbers?
Yes, this Programmed 13586273 BCM is a direct replacement for several part numbers, including 13584695, 13580697, 13588447, 13589197, 13589324, and 13589325. Please verify your part number is on this list before ordering.
