Restore Your Vehicle’s Electrical System with a Plug-and-Play BCM
Are you dealing with frustrating and unpredictable electrical issues in your 2014-2017 SS Caprice? One moment the power windows work, the next they don’t. The security light flashes for no reason, or maybe the interior lights have a mind of their own. These aren’t just annoyances; they’re classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). As a technician with over 20 years of experience, I’ve seen how a faulty BCM can turn a reliable vehicle into a source of constant headaches. It’s the central nervous system for your car’s body electronics, and when it fails, chaos ensues.
This isn’t just a part; it’s a complete solution. We offer a professional cloning service for the BCM with part number 13594692. You simply send us your original BCM, and we expertly transfer all the critical vehicle-specific data—including VIN, mileage, and key programming—to this fully tested replacement module. We then ship it back to you, ready for installation. This process eliminates the need for expensive and time-consuming programming at a dealership, saving you hundreds of dollars and significant downtime. It’s the most efficient way to get a reliable 2014-2017 SS Caprice BCM without the typical hassle.
A Technician’s Notebook: The Case of the Ghostly Caprice
I remember a 2015 Caprice PPV that came into the shop with a list of symptoms that sounded like something out of a ghost story. The dash lights would flicker randomly, the radio would cut out, and the power locks would cycle while driving. The owner, a local security officer, was fed up. Standard diagnostics were tricky because the issues were so intermittent. After checking the main power and ground connections, my gut told me it was the BCM. We pulled the original module, sent it out for cloning onto a replacement, and installed the new unit a few days later. The problems vanished instantly. It’s a perfect example of how a failing 2014-2017 SS Caprice BCM can create a cascade of bizarre, unrelated faults that are solved with one targeted repair.
Is Your Vehicle Showing These Symptoms?
A failing BCM can manifest in numerous ways. If you’re experiencing any of the following, it’s a strong indicator that your Body Control Module needs attention:
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional power windows, door locks, or mirrors.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights that flicker, stay on, or don’t turn on at all.
- ✔ The security system alarm sounding randomly or a persistent security light on the dash.
- ✔ Inconsistent or non-working remote keyless entry (RKE).
- ✔ Dashboard warning lights appearing without a clear cause.
- ✔ Communication error codes, such as U0140 (Lost Communication With Body Control Module), stored in other modules.
- ✔ In some cases, a no-start condition if the BCM fails to recognize the security key.
A Straightforward Guide to Your BCM Installation
Our cloning service makes the physical installation simple. Since the programming is already done, you can avoid a trip to the shop for that step. For a 2014-2017 SS Caprice, the BCM is typically located under the steering column.
- Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery before working on any electronic components.
- Locate the Original BCM: On most compatible vehicles, you will find the BCM in the driver’s side footwell, either under the steering column or on the left-hand side dash/firewall area. You may need to remove a lower dash panel for access.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors from the module. They have locking tabs that need to be depressed. Once disconnected, unbolt or unclip the module from its mounting bracket.
- Install the Replacement: Mount the new, programmed BCM in the same location and securely reconnect all electrical connectors. Ensure they click into place.
- Power Up: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Turn the ignition to the ‘On’ position and test all body functions (lights, windows, locks, etc.).
Post-Installation Notes
In some cases, your vehicle may require a couple of simple relearn procedures after the new 2014-2017 SS Caprice BCM is installed. This is normal and ensures all related systems are properly synced.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a professional scan tool is needed to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. This syncs the airbag system with the new BCM.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: Some models may require a brake pedal position sensor recalibration to ensure proper brake light and traction control operation.
