Is Your Buick Regal Experiencing Strange Electrical Problems?
If your 2014-2017 Buick Regal is suffering from a mind of its own—with flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, erratic door locks, or dashboard warning lights that come and go—you’re likely dealing with 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 cause a cascade of frustrating and unpredictable issues. Don’t let these problems disrupt your driving experience. We offer a reliable, straightforward solution to get your car back in perfect working order.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2015 LaCrosse come in that was a real head-scratcher. The owner complained that sometimes the interior lights wouldn’t turn off, the radio would randomly change stations, and the key fob would only work intermittently. We checked all the usual suspects—fuses, wiring, individual switches—and found nothing. After hooking up our professional scan tool, we saw communication errors pointing directly to the BCM. Instead of a costly new module and a full day of programming at the dealer, we used our cloning service. We transferred the data from his old, faulty BCM to a replacement unit. The customer had his car back the next day with all the electrical gremlins gone for good. It’s a perfect example of how a failing BCM can mimic a dozen other problems.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Intermittent or non-functional power windows, locks, or mirrors.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights staying on, flickering, or not working at all.
- ✔ Malfunctioning windshield wipers or horn.
- ✔ Key fob not being recognized or working sporadically.
- ✔ False warnings on the instrument cluster (e.g., ‘Door Ajar’ light).
- ✔ Security system issues or vehicle failing to start.
- ✔ Unresponsive climate control functions.

Important Post-Installation Information
While our goal is a 100% plug-and-play experience, some GM vehicles may require minor recalibrations after the BCM is replaced. Please be aware of the following potential procedures:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure is necessary. This requires a professional-grade scan tool to sync the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On certain models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration might be needed to ensure correct brake light operation and to prevent issues with the traction control system.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified automotive technician if you are unsure about any installation steps.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does your ‘cloning’ service involve?
Cloning is the process of reading the essential, vehicle-specific software from your original BCM and writing it directly onto the replacement module. This includes the VIN, security information, and other settings, making the replacement unit an exact digital copy of the original.
Why do I have to send you my original part?
Your original BCM contains the unique programming for your specific vehicle. By transferring this data, we ensure the replacement module works perfectly without needing any expensive and complicated reprogramming from a dealership. This saves you time and money.
Is this BCM difficult to install?
The physical installation is typically straightforward for someone with basic mechanical skills. The BCM is often located in the driver’s or passenger’s side kick panel or behind the dash. Once installed, it’s plug-and-play because we’ve already handled the programming.
What if the airbag light comes on after I install it?
This is a known possibility on some GM vehicles. It means the new BCM needs to be electronically ‘introduced’ to the airbag module. A repair shop with a professional scan tool can perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to resolve this.
How long does the whole process take?
Once we receive your original module, our programming service is typically completed within 24-48 hours. The total time will depend on shipping times to and from our facility. We provide tracking information as soon as your programmed module is on its way back to you.
