Restore Full Electrical Function to Your Vehicle
Are you battling a storm of strange electrical problems in your Buick Regal or other GM vehicle? Intermittent power windows, flickering lights, erratic gauges, and phantom security alarms are classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM acts as the central nervous system for your car’s body electronics, and when it malfunctions, it can create a frustrating and unpredictable driving experience. This listing offers a reliable and straightforward solution: a replacement BCM, programmed specifically for your vehicle using the data from your original module.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We recently had a 2012 LaCrosseāwhich uses this same BCM familyācome into the shop with a list of bizarre symptoms. The owner complained that the radio would randomly shut off, the dome light would flicker while driving, and the horn would occasionally chirp when using the turn signal. He’d already replaced the battery and checked every fuse he could find. After connecting our diagnostic scanner, we saw multiple communication loss codes pointing to the BCM. Instead of a costly trip to the dealer for a new module and programming, we performed this exact cloning service. We transferred the data from his faulty BCM to our replacement unit. After a quick installation, every single electrical gremlin was gone. It’s a perfect example of how a single failing module can wreak havoc on multiple, seemingly unrelated systems.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ā Power windows, door locks, or mirrors operating intermittently or not at all.
- ā Interior dome lights, headlights, or taillights flickering, staying on, or failing to illuminate.
- ā Instrument cluster gauges behaving erratically or warning lights appearing without cause.
- ā Vehicle security system issues, including false alarms or a no-start condition due to immobilizer failure.
- ā Windshield wipers activating on their own or not responding to the switch.
- ā HVAC (heating and air conditioning) controls not functioning correctly.
- ā Key fob not being recognized or remote functions failing.

Why Choose Our 2011 Regal BCM Service?
Purchasing a used BCM from a salvage yard might seem cheaper, but it will not work without being programmed to your car’s specific VIN and options, a service most dealerships charge a premium for. Our cloning service bypasses this entire headache. We ensure the replacement module is a perfect electronic match for your vehicle, preserving all original settings and functionalities. This is the most efficient and cost-effective way to solve your BCM-related issues. This module is a direct fit for a wide range of GM vehicles, and is compatible with part numbers: 13579004, 13580198, 13582396, 13583450, 13586856, 13582688, 13586278, 13501737, 13501739, 13577924, 13580773, and 13583451.
Important Post-Installation Information
While our goal is a seamless plug-and-play experience, some vehicle systems may require a recalibration after the BCM is installed. Please be aware of the following potential procedures:
- Airbag System Sync: In some cases, the airbag warning light may illuminate after installation. This indicates the new BCM needs to be synced with the SDM (airbag module). A professional scan tool is required to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to resolve this.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: A brake pedal position sensor recalibration might be necessary to ensure proper brake light operation and to satisfy the traction control system. This is also performed with a capable diagnostic tool.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for vehicle-specific guidance.
Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is a BCM cloning service?
This is a service where we transfer the essential software and vehicle-specific data (like VIN, mileage, and key information) from your original, failing BCM to a fully functional replacement BCM. This makes the replacement module plug-and-play, avoiding the need for dealer programming.
Do I need to program this 2011 Regal BCM?
No. The entire point of our service is to handle the programming for you. The module you receive back from us will be ready to install and function in your vehicle immediately.
How long does the entire process take?
Once we receive your original BCM, our programming service is typically completed within 1-2 business days. The total time will depend on shipping transit times to and from our facility.
Is this compatible with other vehicles besides the Buick Regal?
Yes, this BCM and our programming service are compatible with a wide range of GM vehicles, including the LaCrosse, Volt, SRX, Terrain, Equinox, Camaro, Cruze, and Orlando. Please check the extensive part number list in the description to confirm compatibility.
What if my original BCM is completely dead and unreadable?
In most cases, even with significant internal failure, we can still extract the necessary data. If for some reason your module’s data is completely corrupted and unrecoverable, we will contact you to discuss options and provide a full refund if we cannot proceed.
