Restore Full Functionality to Your Vehicle’s Electronics
Is your 2014 Chevrolet Impala experiencing a host of bizarre and frustrating electrical issues? From flickering lights and malfunctioning power windows to intermittent starting problems, a failing Body Control Module (BCM) can wreak havoc on your vehicle’s systems. The BCM is the central command center for your car’s body electronics, and when it fails, the symptoms can be unpredictable and widespread. This listing offers a straightforward, reliable solution: a replacement BCM, part number 13586589, delivered to you fully programmed and ready for a simple, plug-and-play installation.
We recently had a 2014 Impala towed in with a complaint that was all over the map. The customer said the radio would turn off randomly, the interior lights would stay on, and sometimes the car just wouldn’t start, with no crank and no click. They had already replaced the battery and checked the alternator. After running network diagnostics, we found communication errors pointing directly to the BCM. Instead of a costly new module and hours of programming at the dealership, we used our cloning service. We transferred the data from his faulty BCM to a replacement unit. After a quick installation, every single electrical gremlin was gone. It’s a perfect example of how a single failing module can mimic a dozen different problems.
Symptoms of a Failing Body Control Module
A faulty BCM can manifest in numerous ways, often making diagnosis difficult. If you’re experiencing several of the following issues, your BCM is the likely culprit:
- ✔ Intermittent or non-functional power windows, locks, or mirrors.
- ✔ Erratic behavior from the interior or exterior lights (flickering, staying on, or not turning on).
- ✔ Malfunctioning dashboard gauges or warning lights that appear for no reason.
- ✔ Problems with the vehicle’s security system, including random alarm activation.
- ✔ Climate control system not working correctly.
- ✔ Radio or infotainment system turning on or off by itself.
- ✔ No-start conditions where the engine doesn’t crank, even with a good battery.
- ✔ Communication error codes stored in the vehicle’s computer system (U-codes).
The Simple Plug-and-Play Solution: Our Cloning Service
Replacing a modern BCM isn’t as simple as swapping the part. A new module from the dealership must be programmed with expensive, specialized tools to recognize your vehicle’s specific VIN and security information. Our unique cloning service eliminates this step entirely. We transfer the critical data from your original, failing BCM directly onto this replacement unit. The result is a module that is 100% plug-and-play. There is no need for additional programming or trips to the dealer.
How The Process Works:
- ✔ Place Your Order: Purchase this BCM through our secure checkout.
- ✔ We’ll Contact You: After your purchase, our team will reach out with clear, simple instructions and a shipping address for you to send your original BCM to us. Please ensure your contact information is up to date.
- ✔ We Program Your Part: Once we receive your original module, our technicians will professionally transfer all necessary data to the replacement unit. This typically takes 1-2 business days.
- ✔ Receive Your Ready-to-Install BCM: We ship the programmed replacement BCM back to you. You’ll receive tracking information as soon as it’s on its way. Installation is as simple as removing the old part and plugging in the new one.

Important Post-Installation Information
While our goal is a seamless installation, some vehicle systems may require a simple sync or relearn procedure after the BCM is installed. These can often be performed with a high-end diagnostic scan tool.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure is needed to sync the airbag system with the new BCM. This is only necessary if the light is on.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: In some cases, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be required to ensure proper operation of the brake lights and traction control system.
Disclaimer: 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?
Our cloning service involves transferring the essential vehicle-specific data—like the VIN, mileage, and security keys—from your original BCM to the replacement unit. This makes the replacement module a perfect electronic match for your car, eliminating the need for dealership programming.
Is this part truly plug-and-play?
Yes, because we program the replacement module using data from your original part, it will be ready to install and function immediately without any additional programming required.
How long does the entire process take?
Once we receive your original BCM, the programming and shipping process typically takes 1-2 business days. The total time will depend on the shipping speed you use to send your module to us.
Do I need to send my keys with the module?
No, you do not need to send your keys. All the necessary security information is contained within the BCM itself, which is what we transfer during the cloning process.
What happens if the airbag light comes on after I install it?
If the airbag warning light appears, it simply means the airbag module (SDM) needs to be electronically re-synced with the BCM. A qualified technician with a professional diagnostic tool can perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to resolve this.
