Restore Full Electronic Control to Your Vehicle
Are you battling a storm of bizarre electrical problems in your Chevrolet Camaro, Buick LaCrosse, or Cadillac SRX? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, a security system that has a mind of its own, or an engine that refuses to start can all point to a single culprit: a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can create frustrating and difficult-to-diagnose issues. This replacement Body Control Module, part number 13590173, is the definitive solution to restore order and reliability to your car’s essential functions.
We make the replacement process straightforward. This isn’t just a part in a box; it’s a comprehensive service designed to get you back on the road without the exorbitant costs and scheduling headaches of a dealership visit. By cloning the data from your original BCM directly onto this replacement unit, we ensure that it is perfectly matched to your vehicle’s specific configuration and security information. This means no complicated and expensive programming is required on your end. Simply install the module, perform any necessary relearn procedures, and enjoy a fully functional vehicle once again.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Intermittent or non-functional interior and exterior lights.
- ✔ Power windows, door locks, or mirrors operating erratically or not at all.
- ✔ The vehicle’s security system or keyless entry failing to work correctly.
- ✔ False warning lights appearing on the dashboard (e.g., airbag, ABS, traction control).
- ✔ Unexplained battery drain when the vehicle is turned off.
- ✔ Engine starting problems or a complete no-start condition due to security system conflicts.
- ✔ Wipers, radio, or climate control systems behaving unpredictably.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2015 Camaro SS come into the shop with a list of complaints that sounded like the car was haunted. The customer said the dome light would flicker randomly, the driver’s side window would sometimes refuse to go down, and twice the car wouldn’t start, leaving him stranded. He’d already replaced the battery to no avail. After running diagnostics, we found communication errors pointing directly to the BCM. Instead of a new module and a costly programming session at the dealer, we used our cloning service. We transferred the data from his faulty BCM to a replacement unit. After a quick installation, every single electrical gremlin was gone. The customer was thrilled to have his car back to normal without the dealership price tag.
How Our Simple Cloning Service Works
Our goal is to make this process as seamless as possible. Here’s how it works:
- Place Your Order: Complete your purchase through our secure checkout. Ensure your contact information is accurate.
- We Contact You: Shortly after your order, our team will reach out with clear, step-by-step instructions on how to remove and ship your original BCM to our facility.
- Data Transfer: Once we receive your module, our technicians will professionally extract all the vital vehicle-specific data and flash it onto the replacement unit. This includes VIN, mileage, and security information.
- Return Shipment: We promptly ship your newly programmed, ready-to-install BCM back to you. You’ll receive tracking information so you know exactly when it will arrive.
Post-Installation Procedures for Your 2014-2015 Camaro BCM
Because our service clones your original data, this module is designed to be as close to plug-and-play as possible. However, in some vehicles, certain safety and calibration systems may require a relearn procedure after the BCM is reconnected. These are standard procedures that can be performed with a capable diagnostic scan tool.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, it indicates the BCM and the SDM (Sensing and Diagnostic Module) need to be re-synchronized. A professional scan tool is required to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to clear the light. This is only necessary if the light appears.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: To ensure accurate brake light operation and proper function of the traction control and stability systems, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be needed.
Please note: Specific requirements can vary by exact make and model. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified automotive technician for guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Body Control Module (BCM) do?
The BCM acts as the main computer for your vehicle’s electronic accessories. It controls functions like power windows, door locks, interior/exterior lighting, the security system, wipers, and more. When it fails, these systems can behave erratically.
Why do I have to send you my original BCM?
Your original BCM contains critical data unique to your vehicle, including the VIN and security information that allows the engine to start. By transferring this data to the replacement module (a process called cloning), we make the new part plug-and-play, saving you from needing expensive programming at a dealership.
Is this part difficult to install?
The physical installation is typically straightforward, involving disconnecting the battery and swapping the module. The location varies by vehicle (e.g., under the dash, in the kick panel). The key is that our programming service eliminates the most difficult part: the software configuration.
How long does the programming service take?
We pride ourselves on a fast turnaround. Once we receive your original module, the data transfer process is typically completed and shipped back out within 1-2 business days.
What happens if the airbag light comes on after installation?
This is a common security measure. The BCM and the airbag module (SDM) need to be electronically re-synced. A qualified technician with a professional scan tool can perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure in a few minutes to resolve this.
