Restore Your Vehicle’s Electrical System with a Hassle-Free Solution
Are you battling frustrating and unpredictable electrical problems in your Chevrolet, Buick, or GMC vehicle? Issues like flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, erratic dashboard warnings, or a car that won’t start can often be traced back to a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central nervous system for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can cause a cascade of confusing symptoms. Replacing it at a dealership often means expensive parts, programming fees, and significant downtime. Our programming service for the 2014-2015 Spark Body Control Module offers a direct, cost-effective, and reliable alternative.
The Simple Mail-In Programming Process
This isn’t just a part; it’s a complete service designed to get you back on the road quickly. The process is straightforward: once you place your order, we will contact you with instructions to ship your original BCM to our facility. Our expert technicians will then extract the critical vehicle-specific data from your module and transfer it directly onto a replacement unit. This cloning process ensures that the replacement BCM is a perfect match for your vehicle’s configuration, retaining all original keys, security information, and settings. We then ship the fully programmed, plug-and-play module back to you, ready for installation without any need for a trip to the dealer.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We recently had a 2015 Chevy Cruze come in with a classic case of BCM failure. The owner was at their wit’s end. The horn would honk randomly, the interior lights wouldn’t turn off, and the remote keyless entry was dead. They had been quoted over a thousand dollars by the dealership for a new BCM and the required programming. Instead, they used our mail-in service. We received their old BCM, transferred the data to a replacement unit, and shipped it back the next day. They installed it in their driveway in under an hour, and every single issue was resolved. It’s a perfect example of how this service saves drivers significant time, money, and stress.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Intermittent or non-functional power windows, door locks, or mirrors.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights staying on, flickering, or not working at all.
- ✔ Malfunctioning security system or keyless entry remote.
- ✔ Inaccurate or erratic gauge cluster readings.
- ✔ Unexplained battery drain when the vehicle is off.
- ✔ Warning lights (like Airbag or ABS) appearing on the dash.
- ✔ No-start condition where the engine cranks but won’t fire up due to security system issues.
Installing Your 2014-2015 Spark Body Control Module
Installation is as simple as removing the old module and plugging in the new one. Because we’ve handled all the programming, your vehicle will recognize the module as its own. However, in some GM vehicles, certain systems may require a recalibration procedure after the BCM is replaced. Please be aware of the following potential post-installation steps:
- 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 new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: To ensure proper brake light and traction control operation, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration might be necessary. This also typically requires a compatible diagnostic tool.
We provide this pre-programmed 2014-2015 Spark Body Control Module to make your repair as seamless as possible, eliminating the most complex part of the job—the software configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does this mail-in programming service work?
After you purchase, we’ll send you instructions to mail your original BCM to us. Our technicians will transfer its data to a replacement module and ship the new, plug-and-play BCM back to you.
Is this really plug and play?
Yes, the module will be programmed with your vehicle’s specific information, so it will not require any additional programming to start the car and run basic functions. Some models may require minor relearn procedures for systems like the airbag or brake pedal sensor, as noted above.
What if my original BCM is damaged or not communicating?
In most cases, even with significant electrical failure, we can still extract the necessary data. If your module is severely damaged (e.g., by fire or water), please contact us before ordering to discuss options.
How long does the service take?
We typically program and ship the replacement module within 1-2 business days of receiving your original BCM. Return shipping time will depend on your location and chosen shipping method.
Do I need to send my keys?
No, you do not need to send your keys. Our cloning process transfers all the original key and security information, so your existing keys will work seamlessly with the new module.
