Restore Your Vehicle’s Electrical System with a Plug-and-Play BCM
Is your Chevrolet Caprice, GMC Sierra, or other compatible GM vehicle suffering from strange and unpredictable electrical problems? The Body Control Module (BCM) is the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can cause a cascade of frustrating issues. This listing is for a replacement BCM, part number 13594692, that comes fully programmed through our simple mail-in cloning service. This process transfers all the critical data from your original module to this replacement, making installation a true plug-and-play experience without the need for an expensive trip to the dealership.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2015 Silverado 1500 in the shop that was driving the owner crazy. The dome lights would flicker randomly, the radio would shut off, and sometimes the power locks wouldn’t respond. He’d already replaced the battery twice, thinking it was a power drain issue. After running diagnostics, we traced the erratic behavior to a failing BCM. Instead of a costly new module and programming fee from the dealer, we used our cloning service. We transferred the data from his old, faulty module to a replacement unit. He plugged it in, and every single issue was gone instantly. It’s a straightforward solution to a complex-seeming problem.
Common Symptoms of a Failing Body Control Module
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional power windows, door locks, and mirrors.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights staying on, flickering, or not working at all.
- ✔ Intermittent no-start conditions or security system warning lights.
- ✔ Dashboard warning lights appearing randomly (e.g., ABS, Airbag, Traction Control).
- ✔ Horn honking unexpectedly or not working when pressed.
- ✔ Wipers activating on their own or not responding to the switch.
- ✔ Key fob not being recognized or functioning intermittently.

Post-Installation Checks for Your 2014-2017 Caprice BCM
Because our service clones your original data, the installation is typically seamless. However, in some GM vehicles, certain systems may require a quick sync or relearn procedure after the BCM is reconnected. These are standard procedures that can often be performed with a high-quality bidirectional scan tool.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ is needed. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system’s Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM).
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration might be necessary to ensure correct brake light operation and to prevent issues with the traction control system.
Disclaimer: Specific requirements can vary by exact make, model, and year. 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 all the essential vehicle-specific data from your original BCM and writing it directly onto a replacement module. This makes the replacement unit an exact digital copy, allowing it to work in your vehicle without any additional programming.
Why is this better than buying a new BCM from a dealer?
This service saves you significant time and money. You avoid the high cost of a new module from the dealership, expensive labor rates for programming, and the inconvenience of having your vehicle tied up at their service center. Our solution is plug-and-play.
How long does the entire process take?
We typically program and ship your replacement module within 24-48 hours of receiving your original BCM. The total turnaround time will depend on shipping times to and from our facility.
What if my original BCM is not communicating or is severely damaged?
In most cases, even if the BCM has failed, we can still extract the necessary data. If your module is physically destroyed (e.g., fire or severe water damage), please contact us before ordering to discuss options.
Do I need any special tools for installation?
You will only need basic hand tools to remove and reinstall the BCM. As mentioned, a professional diagnostic tool may be needed for post-installation procedures like an airbag sync, but this is not always required.
