Restore Peak Electrical Performance to Your GM Vehicle
Are you battling frustrating electrical issues in your Chevrolet, GMC, or Cadillac? Intermittent power windows, flickering lights, a malfunctioning security system, or strange instrument cluster behavior are all classic signs of 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 create a cascade of confusing and unpredictable problems. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it can affect the safety and reliability of your vehicle. Our mail-in programming service for this BCM, part number 13594692, is the definitive, hassle-free solution to get your vehicle back in perfect working order.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional interior and exterior lights (headlights, taillights, dome lights).
- ✔ Power windows, door locks, or mirrors operating intermittently or not at all.
- ✔ Malfunctioning keyless entry and remote start systems.
- ✔ False security system alarms or the inability to start the vehicle due to an anti-theft fault.
- ✔ Incorrect readings on the instrument cluster gauges or warning lights that stay on.
- ✔ Wipers or horn activating unexpectedly.
- ✔ Diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) related to communication errors (U-codes) with other modules.
The Simple, Plug-and-Play Solution
Replacing a modern BCM isn’t as simple as swapping the part. Each module is programmed with your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and optional equipment data. A mismatched BCM will not function correctly. Our professional cloning service eliminates this complexity. Here’s how it works:
- Place Your Order: Complete your purchase, ensuring your contact information is accurate.
- Ship Your Original BCM: We will contact you with simple instructions for shipping your original BCM to our facility.
- We Transfer The Data: Our technicians will professionally extract the critical data from your original module and flash it onto this fully tested replacement unit. This ensures a perfect match to your vehicle’s configuration.
- Receive Your Ready-to-Install BCM: We ship the programmed module back to you. Installation is as simple as unplugging the old unit and plugging in the new one. No dealership visit, no additional programming required.
Installation and Post-Install Procedures for your 2014-2017 Caprice BCM
Physically installing the BCM is straightforward, typically located under the steering column or on the LH firewall. Once the programmed module is connected, your vehicle’s primary functions should be restored. However, in some cases, the BCM needs to re-establish communication with other key safety systems. Be aware of the following potential procedures:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, it means the new BCM needs to be formally introduced to the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) module. A professional scan tool is required to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to sync the modules and clear the light.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: The BCM interprets data from the brake pedal position sensor. If your brake lights or traction control system are not behaving as expected, a recalibration of this sensor may be necessary to ensure proper functionality.
Note: Specific requirements can vary by exact make and model. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance.
This BCM is a direct replacement for the following part numbers:
13594692, 13594768, 13593214, 13580690, 13591519, 13594769. Please verify one of these numbers is on your original module to ensure compatibility with a wide range of vehicles, including the 2014-2017 Caprice BCM, Silverado, Sierra, Tahoe, Suburban, Corvette, and more.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need to send you my original BCM?
Your original BCM contains the unique VIN and specific configuration data for your vehicle’s options (like keyless entry, power seats, etc.). We transfer this data to the replacement module, making it a true plug-and-play part. This process avoids expensive and time-consuming dealership programming.
Is this a simple plug-and-play installation?
Yes, for over 95% of installations. Once you receive the programmed module from us, you simply disconnect the old one and connect the new one. In rare cases, as mentioned above, a follow-up procedure like an airbag sync may be needed, which requires a professional scan tool.
What is the turnaround time?
We pride ourselves on a fast and efficient service. The programming is typically completed within 1-2 business days of us receiving your original module. We then ship the replacement unit back to you, and you will receive tracking information at that time.
What if my original BCM is completely dead or unreadable?
In many cases, even if the BCM is non-functional in the vehicle, our specialized equipment can still extract the necessary data. If you suspect your module is severely damaged (e.g., by water or fire), please contact us before ordering to discuss potential options.
Will this fix all of my vehicle’s electrical problems?
This service will resolve all issues directly caused by a faulty BCM. If your vehicle has other underlying problems, such as a bad sensor or wiring short, those will need to be addressed separately. A proper diagnosis is key before ordering.
