Restore Your Vehicle’s Electrical Functions
Is your 2014-2016 Buick LaCrosse, Chevy Malibu, or other compatible GM vehicle suffering from strange and frustrating electrical problems? Issues like flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, or a security system that has a mind of its own often point to a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central command center for your car’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can cause a cascade of seemingly unrelated issues. This replacement LaCrosse Body Control Module, part number 13593775, is the definitive solution to get your vehicle back in perfect working order without the exorbitant costs and hassle of a dealership visit.
We recently had a 2015 Chevy Malibu in the shop with a list of bizarre symptoms: the dome light wouldn’t turn off, the driver’s side window was stuck down, and the key fob worked only intermittently. The owner had already replaced the battery and checked fuses with no luck. A quick scan showed multiple communication errors pointing to the BCM. Instead of a complex and expensive dealer replacement, we used our cloning service. By transferring the data from his original faulty module to this replacement unit, we created a plug-and-play solution. The car was back to 100% functionality the same afternoon, saving the customer hundreds of dollars and significant downtime.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional interior and exterior lights.
- ✔ Power windows, door locks, or mirrors not responding correctly.
- ✔ The security system engaging randomly or preventing the car from starting.
- ✔ Intermittent no-start conditions where the engine cranks but won’t fire.
- ✔ Key fob recognition problems.
- ✔ HVAC (climate control) system operating incorrectly.
- ✔ Unexplained battery drain when the vehicle is off.
The Simple, No-Hassle Programming Solution
Replacing a BCM isn’t as simple as swapping the part. Modern modules are coded specifically to your vehicle’s Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), key data, and specific options. Our professional cloning service completely eliminates this challenge. The process is straightforward:

Important Post-Installation Information
While our programming service makes installation as simple as possible, some vehicle systems may require a quick recalibration after the new BCM is installed. These procedures typically require a professional-grade scan tool.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure is needed to sync the airbag system with the new BCM. This is only required if the light is on.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration might be necessary to ensure proper brake light and traction control functionality.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for vehicle-specific procedures.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does this mail-in programming service work?
After you purchase, we will email you instructions to ship your original BCM to us. We then copy all the critical data from your module to the replacement unit and ship it back to you, ready for installation.
Why is cloning better than buying a new BCM from a dealer?
Our service saves you significant money by avoiding expensive dealership parts and programming fees. It’s also more convenient, as the part arrives at your door ready to be installed without needing the vehicle to be towed to a service center.
How long does the entire process take?
Once we receive your original module, our technicians typically complete the cloning service and ship your replacement BCM within 1-2 business days. Total time depends on shipping transit times.
What if my original BCM is physically damaged or unreadable?
In the rare case that your module’s data cannot be read due to severe water or fire damage, we will contact you to discuss options. In most cases, even with electronic failure, the core data is recoverable.
Is this a guaranteed fit for my 2015 LaCrosse Body Control Module?
Yes, if your vehicle is listed in our fitment chart and your original module’s part number is on our compatibility list, this is the correct part for your vehicle.
Do I need special tools for installation?
Installation typically only requires basic hand tools to access the BCM (often located in the driver or passenger kick panel area). However, as noted, a professional scan tool may be needed for post-installation procedures like an airbag system sync if a warning light appears.
