Restore Full Electrical Function to Your GM Vehicle
Are you experiencing frustrating and unpredictable electrical issues in your Buick Regal, Chevy Malibu, or Cadillac SRX? Problems like flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, or a security system that has a mind of its own often point to a single culprit: a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM acts as the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it starts to fail, it can cause a cascade of confusing symptoms. This replacement Body Control Module, programmed specifically for your vehicle, is the definitive solution to restore order and reliability.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Power windows, door locks, or interior/exterior lights operating erratically or not at all.
- ✔ The vehicle’s security system engaging randomly or preventing the car from starting.
- ✔ Key fobs that no longer work consistently.
- ✔ Dashboard warning lights (like the airbag or ABS light) illuminating without a clear cause.
- ✔ Intermittent no-start conditions where the engine cranks but won’t turn over.
- ✔ Horn honking unexpectedly or failing to work when needed.
The Simple, Dealer-Free Solution: Mail-In Cloning Service
Replacing a BCM isn’t as simple as swapping the part. A new or used module from another vehicle is locked with different Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and security data, rendering it useless in your car without expensive and complex programming at a dealership. Our professional mail-in cloning service eliminates this hassle entirely. We transfer the complete, original data from your failing BCM directly onto this replacement unit. This process creates a perfect digital twin of your original module, ensuring it is 100% plug-and-play upon arrival.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We recently had a 2015 Chevy Malibu in the shop with a classic “haunted car” scenario. The radio would turn on by itself, the dome lights would flicker while driving, and the key fob worked only half the time. The owner had already replaced the battery and checked every fuse. A diagnostic scan revealed multiple communication loss codes with the BCM. Instead of a costly trip to the dealer for a new module and programming, we used our cloning service. Once the programmed replacement 2014-2017 Regal BCM was installed, every single electrical gremlin vanished. It’s a textbook example of how a failing BCM can create phantom issues that are otherwise impossible to trace.

Installation & Required Procedures
Installation is straightforward, but on some models, a couple of simple relearn procedures may be necessary after the new module is connected. These are standard procedures that can be performed by any competent technician.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is on after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure must be performed with a professional scan tool to sync the systems.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: A recalibration of the brake pedal position sensor may be needed to ensure proper brake light and traction control functionality.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Body Control Module (BCM) do?
The BCM is a computer that manages and controls most of your vehicle’s non-engine related electronic functions. This includes power windows, door locks, interior and exterior lighting, the security system, keyless entry, and more.
Why do I need to send you my original BCM?
Your original BCM contains unique security data, your vehicle’s VIN, and specific option configurations (like sunroof, power seats, etc.). By cloning this data to the replacement module, we make it a true plug-and-play part, saving you from a costly trip to the dealership for programming.
How long does the programming service take?
We pride ourselves on a fast turnaround. We will program and ship your replacement module within 1-2 business days of receiving your original unit.
Is the replacement module truly plug-and-play?
Yes, for over 95% of installations. Because we clone your original data, no dealer programming is needed. In some rare cases, a simple relearn procedure, like for the airbag system or brake pedal sensor, may be required after installation.
What if my original BCM has ‘no communication’ issues?
Even if your module is not communicating with a standard scan tool, our advanced equipment can often still extract the necessary data. If your module has severe water or fire damage, please contact us before ordering to confirm we can retrieve the data.
Do I need to return my old part for a core charge?
No, there is no core charge for this service. We will ship your original module back to you along with the fully programmed replacement.
