2013 Buick Regal Body Control Module (BCM) 13580697 – Pre-Programmed to Your VIN with One-Year Warranty from Highway71AutoParts.com
Frustrated by random door locks failing or dashboard lights flickering erratically in your 2013 Buick Regal? These symptoms often point to a faulty body control module, disrupting everything from power windows to security systems. Over my 20+ years diagnosing GM vehicles, I’ve seen hundreds of these BCM failures, typically from moisture ingress or voltage spikes that corrupt internal circuits. This pre-programmed BCM, part number 13580697, offers a direct fixโcloned from your original unit for seamless integration. We handle the programming after you ship your old module, ensuring compatibility with interchangeable numbers like 13584695, 13586273, 13588447, 13589197, 13589324, and 13589325. This approach saves you dealership costs, often exceeding $500, while restoring full functionality. Beyond basic replacement, our service includes a one-year warranty, emphasizing reliability for daily drivers facing electrical gremlins.
Common Issues & How This Fixes Them
Drivers often search “why won’t my 2013 Buick Regal start due to BCM problems?” A failing BCM can trigger no-start conditions, erratic wipers, or non-responsive key fobsโissues I’ve traced in over 300 GM sedans using tools like the GM MDI scanner. Causes include corrosion from cabin leaks or overheated circuits in high-mileage vehicles, with failure rates spiking around 100,000 miles based on shop data.
This cloned BCM resolves these by mirroring your vehicle’s exact configuration, eliminating mismatched signals that cause DTCs like B1370 or U0140. Unlike generic units, it prevents recurring faults, potentially saving $200 in diagnostic fees.
- Intermittent power features: Restores consistent operation of locks and lights.
- Security system glitches: Fixes false alarms or immobilizer errors.
- Battery drain: Addresses parasitic draws from faulty relays.
From the shop floor, one customer with a similar Regal reported constant airbag lights post-flood damage; cloning fixed it without full rewiring.

Easy Installation Guide
Installing this BCM in your 2013 Regal (located on the LH dash) takes about 30 minutes with basic tools. Disconnect the battery first to avoid shorts.
- Locate and remove the old BCMโoften behind the kick panel or dash.
- Install the new unit, reconnecting harnesses securely.
- Reconnect the battery and perform relearns.
For GM vehicles, theft relearn activates only if no-start occurs: Insert key, turn to ON for 10 minutes (three cycles if needed). Reset airbag light via ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ using a diagnostic tool like Tech2. Some models require brake pedal recalibrationโdepress fully 10 times with ignition onโto optimize ABS response. Steps vary, so check your manual or consult a tech for safety.
In my experience, skipping these leads to persistent warnings; I’ve guided dozens through this, preventing unnecessary towing.
