Is Your Vehicle Experiencing Strange Electrical Issues?
The Body Control Module, or BCM, is the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics. It manages everything from your power windows and locks to the interior lights, security system, and even turn signals. When the BCM starts to fail, it can create a host of confusing and frustrating problems that seem unrelated. If you’re dealing with electrical gremlins in your 2014-2015 Camaro or other compatible GM vehicle, a faulty BCM is often the culprit. This listing is for a replacement Body Control Module, part number 13592376, that is delivered to you fully programmed and ready for installation.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We recently had a 2015 Chevy Malibu in the shop with a bizarre set of symptoms. The radio would turn on by itself, the driver’s side turn signal worked only intermittently, and the anti-theft light would flash randomly. The owner had already replaced the battery and checked every fuse with no luck. A diagnostic scan revealed multiple communication error codes (U-codes), all pointing to a network breakdown. The source of the chaos? A failing BCM. By providing a pre-programmed module using data from the original, we were able to resolve all the ghost-in-the-machine problems in one go, saving the customer a costly trip to the dealer and days of diagnostic headaches.
Symptoms of a Failing Body Control Module
- ā Power windows, door locks, or mirrors operating erratically or not at all.
- ā The security system or anti-theft light malfunctioning, preventing the car from starting.
- ā Interior or exterior lights (headlights, dome lights, dash lights) staying on, flickering, or not turning on.
- ā Horn honking unexpectedly or not working when pressed.
- ā Wipers activating on their own or not responding to the switch.
- ā Multiple warning lights appearing on the instrument cluster without a clear cause.
- ā Key fob failing to lock or unlock the doors.
The Simple, No-Hassle Programming Solution
Dealerships will often charge a premium for a new BCM and then add several hours of labor for installation and programming. Our service streamlines this entire process. We perform a specialized cloning service that transfers all the critical, vehicle-specific data from your original BCM directly onto this replacement unit. This includes the VIN, security information, and other settings unique to your car.
The process is straightforward:
- Place your order for this module.
- We will contact you with clear, easy-to-follow instructions for shipping your original BCM to our facility.
- Once we receive your module, our technicians will perform the data transfer to the replacement unit.
- We ship the fully programmed, plug-and-play BCM back to you, typically within 1-2 business days.
This method ensures a seamless installation without the need for expensive dealer-specific scan tools or additional programming fees. It’s the most efficient way to get your 2014-2015 Camaro BCM replaced and your car back to normal.
Installation and Post-Install Procedures
Once you receive the programmed module, installation is typically as simple as disconnecting the battery, locating and removing your old BCM, and plugging in the new one. However, in some vehicles, additional synchronization procedures may be required.
- 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-grade diagnostic tool. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration might be necessary to ensure correct brake light operation and to satisfy the traction control system.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for vehicle-specific instructions.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does this mail-in programming service work?
After you purchase, we’ll email you instructions to mail your original BCM to us. We then copy the data to the replacement module and ship it back to you. This makes the replacement plug-and-play.
Why do I have to send in my original module?
Your original BCM contains the unique VIN, security codes, and option configurations for your specific vehicle. Cloning this data is the only way to ensure the replacement module works correctly without a trip to the dealer for expensive programming.
Is this part difficult to install?
For most DIY mechanics, the physical installation is straightforward. The BCM is typically located in the dash or kick panel area. The main challenge is accessing it. Since our module comes pre-programmed, the electronic setup is already done for you.
Will I need any special tools for installation?
Basic hand tools are usually all that’s needed for the physical swap. However, as noted in our post-install procedures, a professional diagnostic scan tool may be required for certain relearn or sync procedures, like for the airbag system.
How can I be sure my BCM is the problem?
The best way to confirm a bad BCM is with a professional diagnosis. A technician can scan for communication codes (U-codes) and test the BCM’s inputs and outputs. The symptoms listed above are strong indicators of a failing BCM.
What is the turnaround time for the programming service?
We typically program and ship your replacement module within 1-2 business days of receiving your original BCM. We will send you tracking information as soon as it ships.
