Restore Full Electrical Function to Your Vehicle
Is your Buick Verano, Chevy Cruze, or another compatible GM vehicle acting possessed? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, a security system that won’t cooperate, or even a no-start condition can often be traced back to a single, critical component: the Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central command center for your car’s body electronics. When it fails, it can create a cascade of confusing and frustrating problems. This listing offers a straightforward, effective solution: a replacement BCM, pre-programmed with your vehicle’s exact data, eliminating the need for an expensive trip to the dealership.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We once had a 2015 Chevy Equinox in the shop with a baffling set of symptoms. The owner reported that the interior dome lights would stay on, the radio would randomly change stations, and the key fob worked only intermittently. Initial checks on the battery and alternator were fine. After connecting a professional scan tool, we saw multiple communication error codes pointing towards the BCM. Instead of a costly new module and programming from the dealer, we used a cloning service just like this one. We shipped the original BCM, received the programmed replacement two days later, and installed it in under an hour. The vehicle was back to perfect working order, saving the customer significant time and money.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional interior and exterior lights (headlights, taillights, dome lights).
- ✔ Power windows, door locks, or mirrors not working correctly.
- ✔ Intermittent or complete failure of the radio and infotainment system.
- ✔ Vehicle security system faults or alarm going off randomly.
- ✔ Key fob not being recognized, leading to starting issues.
- ✔ False warning lights appearing on the dashboard (e.g., ABS, Airbag, Traction Control).
- ✔ Complete no-start condition where the engine will not crank.
The Simple Mail-In Cloning Solution
Forget about towing your car to a dealer and paying for hours of diagnostic and programming labor. Our service simplifies the entire process. Here’s how it works:
- Place Your Order: Complete your purchase. We will contact you with clear instructions and a shipping address.
- Ship Your Original BCM: Carefully remove your original BCM and send it to us. This ensures we capture all the unique programming, including VIN, mileage, and key data.
- We Program the Replacement: Upon receiving your module, our technicians will perform a full data transfer to a fully tested replacement BCM.
- Receive & Install: We ship the plug-and-play replacement BCM back to you. Simply install it, and in most cases, your vehicle’s electrical gremlins will be gone.

Important Post-Installation Information
While our goal is a 100% plug-and-play experience, the complex nature of modern vehicle electronics means some systems may require a relearn procedure after the BCM is replaced. These are simple procedures for any qualified technician with a professional-grade scan tool.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure is required. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system’s Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM).
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration might be necessary to ensure correct operation of brake lights and the traction control system.
Disclaimer: Specific procedures can vary by vehicle. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance.
Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is a BCM cloning service?
We transfer the vital, vehicle-specific data (like VIN, mileage, and security information) from your original, failing BCM onto a fully functional replacement module. This makes the replacement unit plug-and-play, avoiding the need for dealership programming.
Why is this better than just buying a used BCM from a junkyard?
A standard used BCM will have the data from the donor car and will not work in your vehicle. It would still require programming at a dealership, which is often expensive and sometimes not even possible. Our service delivers a module that is ready to install right out of the box.
How long does the entire process take?
Once we receive your original module, the programming and testing process typically takes 1-2 business days. We then ship the replacement back to you. Total turnaround time is primarily dependent on shipping times.
Do I need to send my keys with the module?
No, you do not need to send your keys. We clone all the necessary key-related data directly from your original BCM, so your existing keys will work perfectly with the new module.
What if an airbag light comes on after I install it?
This can happen occasionally. It simply means the BCM needs to be electronically introduced to the airbag module. A technician with a capable scan tool can perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure in a few minutes to resolve this.
Is this a guaranteed fix for my car’s electrical problems?
If your vehicle’s issues have been correctly diagnosed as a failed BCM, our service provides a reliable and cost-effective solution. We ensure the replacement BCM is programmed correctly with your car’s data. Proper diagnosis is key before ordering.
