Restore Full Electrical Function to Your Vehicle
Is your 2013-2016 Chevrolet Cruze or other GM vehicle experiencing bizarre electrical problems? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, a dead instrument cluster, or a no-start condition can often be traced back to a single, critical component: the Body Control Module (BCM). As the central nervous system for your car’s body electronics, a failing BCM can create a cascade of frustrating and seemingly unrelated issues. This replacement Body Control Module, part number 13589324, is the definitive solution to get your vehicle’s features working reliably again.
The Simple, Dealer-Free Solution: Our Cloning Service
Replacing a BCM is notoriously complex due to the vehicle-specific security and options data it contains. A new module from the dealership requires expensive and time-consuming programming. We eliminate that hassle with our professional cloning service. Simply send us your original BCM, and we will expertly transfer all its critical data—including VIN, mileage, and key information—to this replacement unit. The module you receive back will be a true plug-and-play component, ready for installation without any need for a trip to the dealer. This service saves you time, money, and the headache of complex programming procedures.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2014 Chevy Equinox come in with a complaint that was stumping everyone. The owner said that randomly, the radio would shut off, the dome lights would flicker, and the turn signals would stop working—but only when the driver’s side window was being rolled down. A scan tool showed a dozen intermittent communication codes. Instead of chasing each individual symptom, we focused on what they had in common: the BCM. A close inspection of the original module revealed a small area of corrosion on the board. After we performed our cloning service on a replacement unit, every single one of the strange electrical gremlins vanished. It’s a classic case of how a single faulty module can make a perfectly good car feel like it’s falling apart.
Common Symptoms of a Failing Cruze Body Control Module
- ✔ Intermittent or non-functional power windows, door locks, or mirrors.
- ✔ Headlights, taillights, or interior lights behaving erratically or not working at all.
- ✔ The security system engaging randomly, preventing the car from starting.
- ✔ Instrument cluster gauges dropping out or warning lights appearing for no reason.
- ✔ Communication errors when trying to use a diagnostic scan tool.
- ✔ Wipers or horn activating on their own or not working when commanded.
- ✔ Key fobs that no longer lock or unlock the doors.
Installation and Post-Install Considerations
Once you receive your programmed module, installation is straightforward. The BCM is typically located in the driver’s side kick panel or behind the dash. Disconnect the battery, carefully unplug the connectors from your old BCM, remove it, and install the new one in its place. Reconnect the harnesses and the battery. In most cases, the vehicle will start and function correctly immediately. However, on some models, a couple of simple relearn procedures may be necessary:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure is required. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system and must be done with a professional-grade scan tool.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: To ensure proper brake light and traction control operation, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration might be needed. This can also be performed with a capable diagnostic tool.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for vehicle-specific instructions and guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the mail-in cloning service work?
After you place your order, we will contact you with detailed instructions for shipping your original BCM to our facility. Once we receive it, our technicians will transfer the data to the replacement module and ship it back to you, typically within 1-2 business days.
What if my original BCM is completely dead or unreadable?
In most cases, even if the BCM has failed, we can still retrieve the necessary data. If your module has severe water or fire damage, data recovery may not be possible. Please contact us before ordering if you suspect your module is physically destroyed.
Do I need to send my keys with the module?
No, you do not need to send your keys. All the necessary key and security information is stored within the BCM itself, and this data will be transferred during the cloning process. Your existing keys will work seamlessly with the replacement module.
Is this a plug-and-play solution?
Yes, because we clone the data from your original unit, the replacement module is a true plug-and-play part. It requires no additional programming from a dealer. As noted, some vehicles may require minor relearn procedures for systems like the airbags or brake pedal sensor.
What is the core policy?
There is no core charge for this service. We require your original module to perform the data transfer, but you do not need to leave it with us. We will ship your original module back to you along with the newly programmed replacement.
