Experiencing frustrating electrical problems in your GM vehicle? You’re in the right place. An erratic Body Control Module (BCM) can turn your reliable daily driver into a source of constant stress, causing issues that seem to appear out of nowhere. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a matter of safety and functionality. We offer a definitive, straightforward solution: a professionally programmed Body Control Module that gets you back on the road with confidence.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
If you’re dealing with any of the following, a failing BCM is the likely culprit:
- Power windows, locks, or interior lights working intermittently or not at all.
- The security or anti-theft system light is on, preventing the car from starting.
- Headlights, taillights, or turn signals behaving erratically.
- Warning lights on the dash that have no apparent cause.
- Communication error codes (U-codes) stored in the vehicle’s diagnostic system.
Instead of paying for expensive diagnostics and dealership programming, our service provides a direct path to a reliable repair. We take a quality replacement BCM and transfer the critical data from your original module. This makes the replacement a programmed 13580696 BCM that is ready for installation right out of the box, perfectly matched to your car’s specific configuration.

Expert Insight: Why Our Cloning Service is a Smarter Choice
Many people think they can just buy a used BCM from a salvage yard and install it. Unfortunately, it’s not that simple. Modern BCMs are the central hub for your car’s security and options. They are locked to the original vehicle’s VIN and contain specific immobilizer data. Installing a mismatched BCM will almost always result in a no-start condition and a host of other errors. Our cloning service bypasses this entire problem. We extract the unique ‘digital DNA’ from your original module and flash it onto the replacement unit, creating a true plug-and-play part. This is the same reliable method used by professional repair shops to guarantee a successful repair the first time. We provide a fully tested and properly programmed 13580696 BCM tailored specifically for your car.
This service is designed to be as simple as possible. After you place your order, we will provide you with clear instructions for shipping your original BCM to our facility. Once we receive it, our technicians will perform the data transfer, test the replacement unit, and ship it back to you promptly. You’ll receive tracking information so you can follow its journey back to you. With our programmed 13580696 BCM, you can finally put an end to those persistent electrical issues.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does this programming service work?
It’s simple. After you purchase, you’ll ship your original BCM to us. We will then clone all the necessary data (like VIN, immobilizer info, and vehicle options) onto a replacement BCM. We then ship the programmed replacement back to you, ready to be installed.
Why can’t I just buy a used BCM and install it?
A BCM from another vehicle is programmed with that car’s specific VIN and security information. Installing it in your car will cause a mismatch, typically resulting in a no-start condition and other system malfunctions. Our cloning service ensures the replacement BCM is a perfect digital match for your vehicle.
What if my airbag light comes on after installation?
In some cases, the BCM and the Airbag Control Module (SDM) need to be re-synced. This is a standard procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ that can be performed by a repair shop with a professional-grade scan tool. It is only necessary if the airbag light is on after the BCM is installed.
Will I need a mechanic to install this?
While the part is plug-and-play from a programming standpoint, installation requires accessing the BCM, which is often located under the dashboard. If you are comfortable with basic auto repair, you may be able to do it yourself. However, we always recommend consulting a qualified technician if you are unsure.
How long does the process take?
Our in-house programming is completed quickly, typically within 1-2 business days of us receiving your original module. The total time will depend on shipping times to and from our facility.
What part numbers is this compatible with?
This service and replacement module are compatible with part numbers 13580696, 123589093, 13588446, 13584692, and 13583542.
