Restore Full Functionality to Your GM Vehicle
Are you experiencing a cascade of bizarre electrical problems in your 2011 Chevrolet Volt, Buick LaCrosse, or Cadillac SRX? Issues like malfunctioning power windows, erratic interior lights, security system faults, or a no-start condition often point to a single culprit: a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central nervous system for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can create frustrating and difficult-to-diagnose symptoms. Dealerships often quote expensive repairs that involve purchasing a new module and paying for hours of programming. We offer a simpler, more cost-effective solution.
The Simple, Plug-and-Drive Solution
This listing is for a comprehensive programming service for a replacement BCM compatible with part number 13582688 and many others. Instead of dealing with the hassle and expense of dealership programming, our service clones the essential data from your original, failing BCM directly onto a replacement unit. This process ensures that the replacement module is a perfect match for your vehicle’s specific configuration, including its VIN, mileage, and security information. The result is a true plug-and-drive component that restores your vehicle’s electronic functions without any additional programming required upon installation.
Expert Pro Tip: Before condemning your BCM, always perform a thorough check of the vehicle’s battery, main power cables, and ground connections. A weak battery or a corroded ground strap can cause low voltage conditions that mimic BCM failure. Specifically, check the main ground connection points in the engine bay and near the BCM’s location to ensure they are clean, tight, and free of corrosion.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Intermittent or non-functional power windows, door locks, and mirrors.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights staying on, flickering, or not working at all.
- ✔ The security system or anti-theft light flashing, preventing the car from starting.
- ✔ Inaccurate or dead gauges on the instrument cluster.
- ✔ Warning lights appearing on the dash for various systems (ABS, Airbag, Traction Control).
- ✔ Communication errors with diagnostic scan tools.
- ✔ Key fobs not being recognized or functioning improperly.

Post-Installation Procedures
While our goal is a 100% plug-and-drive experience, the complexity of modern vehicles means that in some rare cases, a minor relearn procedure may be necessary after installation. These are simple steps that can often be performed with a capable diagnostic tool.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a “Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM” procedure may be needed to sync the airbag system with the new BCM. This is only required if the light appears.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On certain models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration might be necessary to ensure correct brake light operation and traction control functionality.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is a BCM cloning service?
Cloning is a process where we read the unique, vehicle-specific data (like VIN, security keys, and option configurations) from your original BCM and write it onto a replacement BCM. This makes the replacement module an exact electronic copy, allowing it to work in your vehicle without any further dealer programming.
Why do I need to send you my original module?
Your original module holds the essential data that is unique to your vehicle. Without it, a new or used BCM would not be able to communicate with the other computers in your car, such as the engine control module (ECM) or instrument cluster. Sending it to us is the key to our plug-and-drive solution.
Is this service difficult to use?
Not at all. The most technical part is removing your original BCM. Once you place your order, we provide clear instructions. After you receive the programmed replacement, installation is as simple as plugging it in. There is no core charge, so you can keep your original module.
What if my original BCM is completely dead or not communicating?
In many cases, even if the BCM is failing, we can still extract the necessary data. If your module is severely damaged (e.g., by fire or water), please contact us before ordering to discuss options. We have advanced tools to recover data from most non-communicating modules.
Will this fix all of my car’s electrical problems?
If your vehicle’s issues are caused by a faulty BCM, this service will resolve them. However, it’s important to ensure the BCM is truly the source of the problem. This service corrects issues within the module itself, not with external wiring, sensors, or other components in the vehicle.
