Restore Your Vehicle’s Electrical System
Is your Chevrolet Malibu, Buick LaCrosse, or Cadillac SRX acting possessed? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, a security system that won’t cooperate, or a horn that has a mind of its own are all classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it starts to fail, it can create a cascade of frustrating and seemingly unrelated electrical problems. Don’t let these issues leave you stranded or facing an expensive bill from the dealership. We have a straightforward, reliable solution.
Is Your Body Control Module Failing?
A faulty BCM can manifest in numerous ways. If you’re experiencing any of the following symptoms, your BCM is the likely culprit:
- ✔ Erratic power windows, door locks, or interior/exterior lights.
- ✔ The security or anti-theft system light is on, or the car won’t start.
- ✔ Wipers or turn signals operating intermittently or not at all.
- ✔ The horn sounds randomly or doesn’t work when you need it.
- ✔ Warning lights on the dashboard appear for no reason.
- ✔ Inconsistent or non-functional keyless entry and remote start.
The Simple, Dealer-Free Solution for your 2014-2016 Malibu BCM
Forget about towing your car to a dealership and paying for expensive diagnostics and programming. Our professional cloning service makes this repair simple and cost-effective. We transfer the critical data—including VIN, mileage, and key information—from your original BCM directly onto this replacement unit. The result is a true plug-and-play module that is ready for installation the moment you receive it. No additional programming or calibration is required, restoring your vehicle’s full functionality without the hassle.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2015 Malibu come in with a classic BCM failure case. The customer complained of the radio turning off randomly and the driver’s side power window only working occasionally. They had already replaced the battery and checked fuses with no luck. After a quick scan, we saw multiple communication codes pointing to the BCM. Instead of a costly new module and hours of programming at the dealer, we used our cloning service. We sent them a pre-programmed unit, they plugged it in, and all the strange electrical gremlins vanished. It’s a perfect example of how isolating the correct component and using a smart repair solution saves time and money.

Important Post-Installation Information
While our cloning service makes this BCM fully plug-and-play for your vehicle’s core functions, certain integrated safety systems may require a simple sync procedure after installation.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a professional scan tool must be used to perform the “Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM” procedure. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system’s Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM) and is only necessary if the light appears.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be needed to ensure proper operation of the brake lights and traction control system.
Specific procedures can vary by vehicle. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a BCM cloning service?
Cloning is the process of reading the unique, vehicle-specific data (like VIN, mileage, and security information) from your original BCM and writing it onto a replacement module. This makes the replacement module an exact electronic copy, allowing it to work in your car without any further programming.
Do I need a dealer to program this after I receive it?
No. The module you receive from us will be fully programmed and ready to install. It is a true plug-and-play solution, designed to save you the time, cost, and hassle of a dealership visit.
Where is the BCM located on my 2014-2016 Malibu?
On the 2014-2016 Chevrolet Malibu, the Body Control Module is typically located behind the driver’s side kick panel, to the left of the pedals. Always disconnect the vehicle’s battery before attempting to remove any electronic modules.
What happens if the airbag light comes on after I install the BCM?
If the airbag light is on, it simply means the BCM needs to be electronically introduced to the airbag system module (SDM). A qualified mechanic with a professional-grade scan tool can perform the “Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM” procedure in a few minutes to resolve this.
How long does the entire process take?
Once we receive your original BCM, our service is typically completed within 24-48 business hours. The total time will depend on shipping times to and from our facility. We will provide you with tracking for the return shipment.
