Tired of Unpredictable Electrical Problems?
Experiencing bizarre electrical issues in your 2015 GM truck, SUV, or sedan? Flickering lights, malfunctioning windows, a persistent battery drain, or a frustrating no-start condition can all point to a failing Body Control Module (BCM). Don’t let these gremlins keep you off the road. Get back in the driver’s seat with certainty using our professional cloning service for this Programmed 13506936 BCM, delivered ready for a straightforward installation.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM & Your Direct Solution
A faulty BCM can cause a wide range of confusing symptoms that disrupt your vehicle’s operation and your peace of mind. If you’re noticing any of the following, it’s a strong indicator that your BCM needs attention:
- Erratic or non-functional interior and exterior lights
- Power windows, door locks, or mirrors working intermittently or not at all
- Instrument cluster gauges behaving strangely or going dark
- Vehicle security system faults or alarm sounding randomly
- A battery that dies overnight for no apparent reason
- Communication error codes (U-codes) when scanned
- The engine cranks but refuses to start due to security system lock-out
This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a complete, hassle-free solution. We transfer the critical data—including your vehicle’s VIN, security information, and specific options—from your original module to this replacement unit. This crucial step ensures the new BCM integrates perfectly with your vehicle’s other computers, restoring full functionality without requiring an expensive trip to the dealership for programming.

Our cloning service is the definitive way to ensure the replacement module speaks the exact same language as your truck’s other computers, like the Engine Control Module. This process preserves all your factory settings, key fob programming, and security data, providing a repair that is as reliable as it is simple.

Important Post-Installation Information:
While our goal is a seamless installation, some vehicles may require minor recalibrations. Please be aware of the following possibilities:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure may be needed using a professional scan tool to sync the systems.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration might be necessary to ensure proper brake light and traction control function.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for vehicle-specific procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I have to send in my original BCM?
Your original BCM holds the unique software, VIN, and security data for your specific vehicle. By cloning this information to the replacement module, we ensure it works perfectly upon installation without any additional, expensive programming required from a dealer.
Will my existing keys and mileage be correct after installation?
Yes. Because we are performing a direct clone of your module’s data, all existing key fob programming, security information, and vehicle mileage data are preserved. The new module will function exactly as your original one did before it failed.
What if my original BCM is completely dead or water damaged?
In many cases, we can still recover the necessary data even from non-communicating or damaged modules. However, if you suspect severe damage, please contact us before ordering so we can discuss the specific situation and determine the best course of action.
How long does the entire process take?
Our programming service is typically completed within 1-2 business days after we receive your module. The total turnaround time will depend on shipping times to and from our facility.
Is this a difficult part to install myself?
On most GM trucks and SUVs from this era, the BCM is located under the driver’s side of the dashboard and is accessible with basic hand tools. While the physical swap is straightforward, we always recommend consulting a repair manual or a trusted mechanic if you are not comfortable with the process.
What problems does this Programmed 13506936 BCM solve?
This module is the solution for a wide array of electrical issues, including non-working lights, power windows/locks, security system faults, instrument cluster malfunctions, and certain no-start conditions related to the vehicle’s anti-theft system.
