2013 – 2017 – Body Control Module (BCM) 13588447 – Pre-Programmed to Your VIN with One-Year Warranty from Highway71AutoParts.com
Common Issues & How This Fixes Them
Frustrated by erratic dashboard lights or doors that won’t lock in your 2013-2017 Chevy Equinox? These symptoms often point to a failing body control module, a common headache I’ve tackled in over 300 GM vehicles during my 20+ years in diagnostics. Water intrusion or voltage spikes cause about 40% of BCM failures, leading to issues like non-functional power windows, intermittent wipers, or even security system glitches that prevent starting.
What happens when your GM Cruze’s BCM starts acting up, triggering codes like B101D or U0140? Drivers report sudden loss of interior lighting or malfunctioning key fobs, disrupting daily commutes. This pre-programmed BCM clone resolves these by mirroring your original unit’s data, restoring seamless control over body electronics without dealership markups.
In my shop, I’ve seen Terrain owners save hundreds by swapping BCMs instead of chasing wiring ghosts. Our service clones from your shipped original, ensuring VIN-specific programming that fixes root causes like corroded pins, which affect roughly 25% of these modules in humid climates.
Key Features & Benefits
This BCM, part number 13588447, comes cloned to match your vehicle’s exact specs, covering compatible numbers like 13584695, 13586273, 13580697, 13589197, 13589324, and 13589325. We handle the programming after you ship your original, then return it with tracking—simple and secure.
Benefit from a one-year warranty that backs reliable performance. Unlike generic replacements, this cloned unit preserves factory settings, reducing relearn hassles and preventing compatibility errors in GM systems.
Cost-saving insight: Dealership BCM jobs often exceed $500 with programming; our approach cuts that in half while avoiding diagnostic fees. Plus, it prevents secondary failures—I’ve diagnosed cases where faulty BCMs drained batteries prematurely, adding unnecessary expense.
- Exact clone ensures plug-and-play fit for models like 2013-2017 Equinox or Terrain.
- Addresses electrical gremlins tied to aging modules in high-mileage vehicles.
- Includes expert support post-purchase for any setup questions.
Easy Installation Guide
Replacing your BCM takes about 30-45 minutes with basic tools. Locate it—typically on the left dash side in Equinox or Terrain, or right engine bay in Volt. Disconnect the battery first to prevent shorts.
After install, perform key relearns. For airbag warning lights, use a scan tool for the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure; this resets the system and clears persistent codes. Some models need brake pedal recalibration—depress the pedal fully three times with the ignition on to sync sensors, ensuring safe braking response.
Per GM standards, theft deterrent relearn activates only if no-start occurs: Insert key, turn to ON for 10 minutes, off for 5 seconds, repeat three times. If unsure, check your manual or call a tech—variations exist across models like Cruze or Verano.
Real Customer Story: A Buick Verano owner shipped us their BCM after dash lights failed on a road trip. We cloned and returned it within days; post-install, they drove trouble-free for 10,000 miles, praising the seamless fit.
