2013 – 2017 GM Body Control Module (BCM) 13586273 – Programmed/Cloned from Your Original with One-Year Warranty from Highway71AutoParts.com

Common Issues & How This Fixes Them

Frustrated by erratic dashboard lights or doors that won’t lock on your 2013 Chevy Equinox? These symptoms often point to a failing body control module, a common headache in GM vehicles from 2013 to 2017. Over my 20+ years in auto repair, I’ve seen hundreds of these BCM failures, typically triggered by moisture intrusion or electrical surges—issues that spike in humid climates or after battery jumps gone wrong.

What happens when your BCM starts glitching in a 2014 Buick Encore? You might face intermittent power windows, non-responsive key fobs, or even airbag warning lights that refuse to clear. Data from repair shops shows about 15% of electrical complaints in these models trace back to BCM problems, often misdiagnosed as simple fuse issues, leading to wasted time and money.

This pre-programmed BCM, cloned directly from your original unit, resolves these by restoring seamless control over body functions like lighting, security, and climate systems. We handle the cloning after you ship your old module, ensuring a perfect match without dealership-level costs—saving you up to 40% compared to new OEM parts.

Key Features & Benefits

This BCM arrives ready for your vehicle, covering part numbers like 13586273, 13584695, 13580697, and others. We clone it using your original, so it integrates flawlessly with your VIN-specific data.

• Exact programming eliminates generic module mismatches, reducing installation headaches.
• One-year warranty backs our work, based on rigorous testing in real-world conditions.
• No core charge—ship your old BCM, and we send the cloned replacement with tracking.

In my experience, cloning prevents common post-install errors like persistent DTCs (diagnostic trouble codes) for body control module communication failures. Plus, it maintains factory settings for features like remote start or theft deterrent systems, which generic replacements often botch.

Pro Tip: Before shipping your original BCM, double-check for water damage—I’ve fixed dozens where corrosion was the root cause, and cleaning contacts first can extend life or aid cloning accuracy.

Easy Installation Guide

Replacing the BCM in your 2013-2017 GM model requires basic tools, but precision matters. Location varies: left side dash in Equinox or Terrain, right engine compartment in Volt models.

First, disconnect the battery to avoid shorts. Remove panels to access the module, unplug connectors, and swap in the new one. Reconnect and test.

After installation, perform key relearn steps if needed. For GM standards, theft relearn activates only on no-start issues: Insert key, turn to ON for 10 minutes, off for 5 seconds—repeat three times. This syncs the immobilizer without a scan tool in most cases.

Reset the airbag warning light by running the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure with a compatible diagnostic tool like an OBD-II scanner. Some vehicles, such as the Cruze, may need brake pedal recalibration for safe braking—depress the pedal fully while monitoring with your tool until calibrated.

Steps can differ by model, so consult your manual or a pro if unsure. In my shop, I’ve guided owners through this remotely, preventing costly towing.
