Restore Full Functionality to Your Vehicle’s Electronics
Are you dealing with frustrating and unpredictable electrical problems in your Chevrolet, GMC, or Cadillac? Issues like flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, a dead battery overnight, or a car that refuses to start can often be traced back to a single component: a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM acts as the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it malfunctions, it can create a cascade of confusing symptoms. This listing offers a straightforward, reliable solution: a replacement BCM, part number 13594769 (and its interchanges), that comes fully programmed with your vehicle’s specific data.
The Simple, No-Dealership Solution for Your 2014-2017 Caprice BCM
Replacing a BCM traditionally means a costly trip to the dealership for installation and programming. Our unique mail-in cloning service bypasses this hassle entirely. We transfer the essential configuration, security, and key data from your original, failing BCM directly onto a replacement unit. This process ensures that the module we send you is a true plug-and-play component, perfectly matched to your vehicle’s VIN and options. You get a fully functional part without the need for expensive scan tools or dealer appointments.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2015 Silverado 2500 in the shop that was driving the owner crazy. The interior dome lights and cargo light would randomly turn on and stay on, draining the battery overnight. He’d already replaced the battery twice. After checking door switches and wiring, we isolated the fault to an internal failure in the BCM. The dealership quoted him over $900 for a new module and programming. Instead, we used our cloning service. We pulled his original BCM, transferred the data to our replacement unit, and had him back on the road the next day for a fraction of the cost. The problem was solved, and he didn’t have to leave his truck at the dealer for days.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ā Power windows, door locks, or mirrors working intermittently or not at all.
- ā Interior or exterior lights behaving erratically (staying on, not turning on, or flickering).
- ā The security or anti-theft system light is on, preventing the engine from starting.
- ā Key fobs or remote entry system fails to operate correctly.
- ā Dashboard warning lights appearing for no reason.
- ā Unexplained parasitic battery drain that kills the battery when the vehicle is off.
- ā Horn honking randomly or wipers activating on their own.

Important Post-Installation Information
While our goal is a 100% plug-and-play experience, certain vehicle systems may require a simple sync procedure after installation.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installing the BCM, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure must be performed with a professional scan tool. This syncs the airbag system with the new BCM.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be needed to ensure correct brake light and traction control operation.
Disclaimer: Specific procedures can vary by vehicle. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance.
Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is a Body Control Module (BCM)?
The BCM is a computer in your vehicle that controls and monitors most of the non-engine related electronic functions, such as power windows, locks, lights, security system, wipers, and more. It’s the brain for your car’s body accessories.
Why do I need to send you my original BCM?
Your original BCM contains unique data specific to your vehicle, including the VIN, security information, and settings for its options. By cloning this data to the replacement module, we make it a plug-and-play part, saving you the time and high cost of dealership programming.
Is this BCM truly plug-and-play?
Yes, in over 95% of cases, the module is completely plug-and-play. In rare instances, as noted above, a simple relearn procedure for the airbag system or brake pedal position sensor may be required using a professional scan tool.
What happens if the airbag light comes on after I install it?
This indicates the BCM and the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) or Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM) need to be synced. A qualified technician with a high-level scan tool can perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to resolve this.
How long does the cloning process take?
Once we receive your original module, the cloning service is typically completed and the replacement module is shipped back out within 1-2 business days.
Do I need to return my old part after installation?
No. There is no core charge for this service. You only need to send us your original module for the data transfer.
