Restore Your Vehicle’s Electrical System with Confidence
Are you dealing with baffling electrical issues in your Buick, Chevy, or GMC? Flickering lights, unresponsive power windows, a security system that acts on its own, or even a car that refuses to start can all point to a failing Body Control Module (BCM). These problems are more than just an annoyance; they compromise your vehicle’s reliability and your peace of mind. This professionally prepared programmed 13580696 BCM is the definitive, hassle-free solution to restore your car’s brain and get you back on the road with confidence.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A failing BCM can manifest in numerous ways, often leading to frustrating and expensive diagnostic sessions. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is your answer:

Expert Insight: Why Our Cloning Service is Critical
You might see a used BCM with a matching part number for sale elsewhere, but installing it directly will not work. Modern BCMs are locked to the vehicle’s Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and contain security information for the anti-theft system. A mismatched module will cause a no-start condition or trigger a cascade of error codes. Our professional cloning service bypasses this entire problem. We perform a precise, sector-by-sector data transfer, making the replacement module an exact electronic twin of your original. This is the only way to guarantee a seamless, error-free installation outside of a dealership.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does the Body Control Module (BCM) do?
The BCM acts as the central computer for your vehicle’s body electronics. It controls non-engine related functions like power windows, locks, lights, security system, climate control fans, and interior accessories. When it fails, these systems can become erratic or stop working altogether.
How does the mail-in cloning service work?
After you place your order, you will ship your original BCM to us. Our technicians use specialized equipment to read the unique programming, security, and VIN data from your module and write it directly onto the replacement unit. This makes the new part an identical electronic match, allowing for a simple plug-and-play installation on your end.
Do I need a professional mechanic to install this?
While the module itself is plug-and-play after our service, installation requires accessing it, which is typically located under the dashboard. Many DIY-savvy owners can perform the swap, but if you are not comfortable with automotive electrical work, we recommend consulting a qualified technician. The key is that no computer programming is needed after installation.
What if my airbag light is on after installation?
In some cases, the BCM may need to be synced with the airbag system (SDM). If the airbag light appears, a technician will need to perform a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure with a professional scan tool. This is a simple sync procedure that resolves the light.
Is this compatible with other part numbers?
Yes, this module is a direct replacement for several part numbers, including 13580696, 123589093, 13588446, 13584692, and 13583542. As long as your original module carries one of these numbers, our service will work for you.
