Is Your Vehicle Plagued by Bizarre Electrical Problems?
If your GMC Terrain, Chevy Equinox, or other compatible GM vehicle is experiencing strange and unpredictable electrical issues, a failing Body Control Module (BCM) is often the culprit. The BCM acts as the central nervous system for your vehicle’s electronics, controlling everything from your power windows and door locks to the interior lights and security system. When it starts to fail, it can create a cascade of frustrating and difficult-to-diagnose problems. Don’t let a faulty module keep you off the road. This is a direct, reliable replacement solution for your vehicle.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
A bad BCM can manifest in numerous ways. If you’re noticing any of the following issues, it’s a strong indicator that your Body Control Module needs attention:
- ✔ Intermittent or non-functional power windows, door locks, or mirrors.
- ✔ Horn honking randomly or not working at all.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights staying on, flickering, or not turning on.
- ✔ Problems with the vehicle’s anti-theft or security system, leading to no-start conditions.
- ✔ Inaccurate gauge readings on the instrument cluster.
- ✔ Key fob not being recognized or working sporadically.
- ✔ Wipers activating on their own or not functioning when commanded.
- ✔ False warning lights appearing on the dashboard.

- We Contact You: Our team will reach out with simple instructions and a shipping address for you to send us your original BCM.

Important Post-Installation Information
While our goal is a 100% plug-and-play experience, some vehicle systems may require a simple relearn procedure after the BCM is installed. Please be aware of the following:
- Airbag System Sync: In some cases, the airbag warning light may illuminate after installation. This is because the BCM needs to re-establish its secure connection with the SDM (airbag module). A professional scan tool is required to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to resolve this.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: A recalibration of the brake pedal position sensor might be necessary to ensure proper operation of brake lights and the traction control system.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician if you are unsure about any installation steps.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need to send you my original BCM?
Your original BCM contains critical data unique to your vehicle, including the VIN, security information, and specific options. By cloning this data to the replacement module, we create a true plug-and-play part that avoids the need for expensive dealership programming.
Is this a guaranteed fix for my vehicle’s electrical problems?
This service corrects issues directly caused by a faulty BCM. While the symptoms listed are common indicators of BCM failure, we always recommend a proper diagnosis by a qualified technician to confirm the BCM is the root cause before ordering.
How long does the programming service take?
Once we receive your original module, the cloning process is typically completed and the replacement unit is shipped back out within 1-2 business days. You will receive tracking information as soon as it ships.
What if the airbag light comes on after I install the new BCM?
This is a known possibility. It requires a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure, which can be performed by most automotive shops with a professional-grade diagnostic tool. It’s a quick procedure to re-sync the security between the two modules.
Do I need to return my old part after installation?
No, there is no core charge for this service. You can keep your original module. We only need it temporarily for the data cloning process.
