Restore Full Electrical Function to Your Vehicle
Is your 2014 Corvette or other compatible GM vehicle suffering from strange and unpredictable electrical problems? The Body Control Module (BCM) is the central nervous system for your car’s body electronics, managing everything from power windows and locks to interior lighting and security systems. When it fails, it can cause a cascade of frustrating issues that are often difficult to diagnose. This listing is for a replacement BCM, part number 13594692, that is delivered to you fully programmed with your vehicle’s original data, making for a seamless and straightforward installation.
We recently had a 2014 Sierra 1500 in the shop with a list of bizarre symptoms. The radio would turn on by itself, the dome lights would flicker randomly, and the power locks worked intermittently. The owner had already replaced the battery and checked all the fuses. After connecting our diagnostic scanner, we saw multiple communication error codes pointing to the BCM. Instead of a costly trip to the dealer for a new module and programming, we performed a data clone to a replacement unit. Once installed, every single electrical gremlin was gone. It’s a perfect example of how a failing BCM can mimic a dozen other problems.
Is Your Body Control Module Failing?
A faulty BCM can manifest in numerous ways, often starting as minor annoyances before becoming major problems. If you’re experiencing any of the following, a failing BCM is the likely culprit:
- ā Intermittent or non-functional power windows, door locks, or mirrors.
- ā Erratic behavior from interior or exterior lights (flickering, staying on, or not turning on at all).
- ā The security system or keyless entry system malfunctioning.
- ā Dashboard warning lights appearing randomly with no apparent cause.
- ā The radio or infotainment system turning on or off unexpectedly.
- ā A/C and heater controls not responding correctly.
- ā A parasitic battery drain that leaves you with a dead battery overnight.
The Simple, No-Hassle Solution: Our BCM Programming Service
Dealerships will charge you for a new module, labor to install it, and a separate, expensive fee to program it to your vehicle’s VIN. Our service eliminates the need for dealership intervention. We use your original BCM to transfer all the critical vehicle-specific dataāincluding VIN, mileage, and key fob informationādirectly onto this replacement module. The result is a true plug-and-play component, ready for installation right out of the box.

Post-Installation Information
While our goal is a 100% plug-and-play experience, some modern GM vehicles have interconnected safety systems that may require a simple sync procedure after installation.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after you install the new BCM, a procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ is required. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system’s Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM) and must be performed with a professional-grade scan tool.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be needed to ensure flawless operation of the brake lights and traction control system. This is also performed with a diagnostic tool.
Please note: These procedures are not always necessary but can vary by vehicle. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need to send you my original BCM?
Your original BCM contains unique data specific to your vehicle’s VIN, security settings, and programmed options. By cloning this data to the replacement module, we create a plug-and-play part that avoids the need for expensive and complex dealership programming.
How long does the programming service take?
We typically complete the programming and ship your replacement module back out within 24-48 hours of receiving your original BCM.
Is this BCM new or used?
This is a quality, tested, and guaranteed good used component. Each module is thoroughly inspected to ensure it meets our high standards for performance and reliability before being programmed.
Will I need to get my keys reprogrammed?
No. Because we transfer all the data from your original module, the replacement BCM will recognize your existing keys and key fobs. No key programming is required.
What if the airbag light comes on after I install it?
This can happen on some vehicles. It simply means the new BCM needs to be electronically ‘introduced’ to the airbag module. A technician with a professional scan tool can perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to sync the systems and turn off the light.
