Restore Full Functionality to Your Vehicle’s Electronics
Is your Chevrolet Equinox, GMC Terrain, or other compatible GM vehicle suffering from strange and unpredictable electrical problems? Issues like malfunctioning power windows, erratic interior lights, a dead battery, or warning lights that won’t turn off are often symptoms of 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 cause a cascade of frustrating issues. This replacement BCM, part number 13589325, is the definitive solution to get your vehicle operating correctly again.
The Simple, Plug-and-Play Solution
Forget about costly trips to the dealership, towing fees, and complex on-vehicle programming. Our unique programming service makes this repair straightforward and accessible. We transfer the critical data—including VIN, mileage, and key information—from your original BCM directly onto this replacement unit. The result is a module that is 100% plug-and-play. Simply install it, and you’re ready to go. No additional programming or calibration is required for most vehicles.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2015 Equinox come in with a truly baffling set of symptoms. The owner reported that the radio would sometimes not turn off after shutting the car down, the dome lights would flicker randomly while driving, and the remote key fob worked intermittently. Initial checks on the battery and alternator were fine. After connecting our diagnostic scanner, we saw multiple communication error codes pointing to the BCM. Instead of a costly new module and hours of programming at the dealer, we used our cloning service. We transferred the data from his old, faulty BCM to a replacement unit. After a quick 15-minute installation, every single electrical gremlin was gone. The customer saved hundreds of dollars and avoided leaving his car at a shop for days.
Common Failure Symptoms
- ✔ Intermittent or non-working power windows, locks, or mirrors.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights staying on or not turning on at all.
- ✔ Horn honking unexpectedly or not working when pressed.
- ✔ Security system or anti-theft light flashing, preventing the car from starting.
- ✔ Inaccurate gauge readings on the instrument cluster.
- ✔ Parasitic battery drain that kills your battery overnight.
- ✔ Communication error codes (U-codes) stored in the system.

Important Installation Notes:
While this module is designed to be plug-and-play, some vehicle systems may require a quick sync procedure after installation. Please be aware of the following:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure must be performed with a professional scan tool. This is a simple sync that re-establishes communication between the airbag module and the new BCM.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration might be needed to ensure proper brake light and traction control operation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a BCM cloning service?
Cloning is the process of reading the essential vehicle-specific data (like VIN, key codes, and security information) from your original BCM and writing it onto a replacement module. This makes the replacement module an exact electronic copy, allowing it to work in your car without any dealer programming.
Do I need to send my original BCM to you?
Yes. In order to perform the programming service and ensure a plug-and-play installation, we require your original module. We will contact you with shipping instructions after you place your order.
How long does the process take?
Once we receive your original BCM, our technicians typically complete the programming and ship your replacement module back out within 1-2 business days. Total turnaround time will depend on shipping speeds.
Will I need a scan tool after I install the new BCM?
For most installations, no special tools are needed. However, as noted, in some cases an airbag system sync or brake pedal position relearn may be required if you see related warning lights. These procedures require a professional-grade diagnostic tool.
Is this a permanent fix for my vehicle’s electrical issues?
Yes, if the Body Control Module has been correctly diagnosed as the source of the problem, this replacement unit will provide a lasting and reliable solution, restoring your vehicle’s electronic systems to their original operating condition.
