Are you battling bizarre electrical issues in your GM vehicle? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, a security system that acts on its own, or even a no-start condition can often be traced back to a single, vital component: the Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics. When it fails, it can create a cascade of frustrating and seemingly unrelated problems. This listing offers a reliable and straightforward solution: a replacement BCM, part number 13592137, that comes fully programmed with your vehicle’s original data.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2015 Cadillac CTS in the shop that was driving its owner crazy. The radio would randomly change stations, the interior lights would stay on, and occasionally the car just wouldn’t start. The owner had already replaced the battery and checked all the fuses. After connecting our diagnostic scanner, we saw multiple communication errors pointing towards the BCM. A new BCM from the dealer would have required expensive programming and key relearning. Instead, we used our cloning service. We transferred the data from the old, faulty BCM to a replacement unit. Once installed, the car started right up, and every single electrical gremlin was gone. This service saved the customer hundreds of dollars and a trip to the dealership.
Is Your Vehicle Showing These BCM Failure Symptoms?
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional interior and exterior lights (headlights, dome lights, dash lights).
- ✔ Power windows, door locks, or mirrors not working correctly or at all.
- ✔ Vehicle security system engaging randomly or preventing the car from starting (Security light on).
- ✔ Wipers or horn activating unexpectedly.
- ✔ Inconsistent or failed communication with diagnostic scan tools.
- ✔ Battery drain issues, leading to a dead battery overnight.
- ✔ False warning messages appearing on the instrument cluster.
The Simple Plug-and-Play Solution: Our BCM Cloning Service
Modern vehicles store critical information like the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), key fob data, and specific vehicle options directly within the BCM. Simply installing a used or new BCM will not work, as this data will not match your vehicle, leading to a no-start condition and system malfunctions. Our professional cloning service is the key to a successful repair. Here’s how it works:
- Purchase this service: Complete your order and ensure your contact information is up to date.
- We Contact You: We will reach out with clear instructions on how to ship your original BCM to our facility.
- We Transfer the Data: Our technicians will expertly extract all the critical data from your original module and flash it onto this replacement unit.
- We Ship It Back: We send you the newly programmed BCM. Once you receive it, installation is as simple as removing the old part and plugging this one in. No further programming is required.

Please verify your part number and consult the detailed fitment list to ensure this is the correct component for your vehicle.
Post-Installation Checks
Because our service clones your original data, in most cases no additional steps are needed. However, in some instances, certain systems may need to be re-synced. Please be aware of the following potential procedures:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure must be performed with a professional scan tool. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be needed to ensure correct brake light operation and traction control functionality.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for vehicle-specific procedures.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a BCM and what does it do?
The Body Control Module (BCM) is a computer in your vehicle that manages and controls a wide range of electronic accessories, such as power windows, locks, lights, wipers, and the security system. It acts as a central hub for these functions.
How does your cloning service work?
You purchase this BCM and then ship your original, faulty BCM to us. Our technicians extract all the vehicle-specific data (like VIN, mileage, and key programming) from your module and transfer it to the replacement unit. We then ship the programmed replacement back to you.
Will this BCM be plug-and-play?
Yes. Because we transfer the exact data from your original module, the replacement BCM will be fully programmed for your specific vehicle. This allows for a simple installation without the need for expensive dealership programming.
What happens if I don’t send in my original BCM?
We cannot complete the service without your original BCM. The data inside your module is essential to make the replacement part work with your vehicle. This service is for programming a replacement unit, not for selling a blank one.
How long does the programming service take?
Once we receive your original module, the programming process is typically completed and shipped back out within 1-2 business days. We will provide you with tracking information as soon as it ships.
Do I need to perform any procedures after installation?
In most cases, no. However, some vehicles may require an airbag system sync or a brake pedal position relearn if specific warning lights appear after installation. These procedures require a professional-grade scan tool.
