Restore Full Electronic Functionality to Your Vehicle
Is your Buick Regal or other GM vehicle plagued by strange and unpredictable electrical problems? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, or a security system that has a mind of its own are common signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM acts as the central command center for your car’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can cause a cascade of frustrating issues. This listing is for a replacement BCM, part number 13589115, that is professionally programmed using the data from your original module, providing a seamless, plug-and-play solution.
Diagnosing Your 2014-2017 Regal Body Control Module
A faulty BCM can manifest in numerous ways, often mimicking other component failures. If you’re experiencing several of the following symptoms, your BCM is the likely culprit. Our service provides a reliable and cost-effective fix for these exact issues by ensuring the replacement module is a perfect electronic match for your vehicle.
Common Failure Symptoms
- ✔ Power windows, locks, or mirrors operating erratically or not at all.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights flickering, staying on, or failing to work.
- ✔ The horn sounding randomly or not working when pressed.
- ✔ Vehicle security system issues, including false alarms or anti-theft causing a no-start condition.
- ✔ Inaccurate or non-functional gauges on the instrument cluster.
- ✔ Windshield wipers activating on their own or not responding to the switch.
- ✔ Key fobs that stop working or have intermittent functionality.

Installation and Post-Install Considerations
Physically replacing the BCM is generally a straightforward process, typically located in the driver’s or passenger’s side kick panel or dash area. Because our service clones your original data, no further programming is required for the vehicle to start and run. However, on some models, certain secondary systems may need to be re-synchronized.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is on after installation, a simple ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure may be needed. This is performed with a professional diagnostic tool and syncs the BCM with the airbag module.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: To ensure proper brake light and traction control operation, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration might be necessary on some vehicles.
Note: 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 BCM cloning service?
Cloning is the process of reading the unique, vehicle-specific data from your original BCM and writing it onto a replacement module. This makes the new module an exact electronic copy, allowing it to work in your car without any additional programming.
Why do I have to send you my original module?
Your original BCM contains critical data like the VIN, security codes, and settings for your car’s specific options. Without this data, a replacement module will not communicate correctly with other computers in the vehicle, preventing it from starting or functioning properly.
Will this part fit my vehicle?
This module, part number 13589115, is a direct fit for the 2014-2017 Buick Regal and is also compatible with a wide range of other GM vehicles including the LaCrosse, Malibu, Volt, Camaro, and SRX. Please check the fitment list and part numbers in the description to confirm compatibility.
Is this a difficult part to install?
The physical installation is straightforward for anyone with basic mechanical skills. It involves disconnecting the battery and swapping the module. Our programming service eliminates the most difficult part: the complex computer setup required by dealerships.
What is the turnaround time for the programming service?
We typically complete the programming and ship your replacement module back out within 1-2 business days of receiving your original BCM.
Is there a core charge?
No, there is no core charge. We need your original module for data transfer only; you do not need to worry about core returns or fees.
