Tired of Unpredictable Electrical Gremlins?
Are you dealing with bizarre electrical issues in your Cadillac, Buick, or Chevy? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, a security system that acts up, or a car that refuses to start can all point to a failing Body Control Module (BCM).

We offer a simple, definitive solution to restore your vehicleโs proper function without a costly trip to the dealership.

Expert Insight: Why Our Cloning Service is Essential
A common mistake we see is customers buying a used BCM from a junkyard, only to find it’s useless without vehicle-specific programming. The BCM is the ‘brain’ for your vehicle’s body electronics and contains your car’s unique VIN and security information. Our cloning service isn’t just a convenience; it’s a critical step that makes the repair possible. By perfectly replicating your original data, we ensure all systemsโfrom your key fobs to your interior lightsโcommunicate correctly from the moment you plug it in.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to send my original BCM to you?
Yes. This service is for programming a replacement module using your original. We will contact you with shipping instructions for your original BCM after your purchase. This cloning process is essential to ensure the replacement part works correctly in your vehicle without any additional programming.
Is this 13580696 BCM difficult to install?
The physical installation is typically straightforward, involving disconnecting the battery and swapping the module. The location varies by model (e.g., under the dash, in the kick panel). The primary benefit of our service is that the complex programming is already done, making the electronic side of the installation truly plug-and-play.
What if my airbag light is on after installation?
In some cases, the BCM and the airbag system (SDM) need to be re-synced. This is done with a professional scan tool using the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. This is only necessary if the airbag light appears after the new part is installed.
Will my existing keys and remotes work immediately?
Yes. Since we are cloning all the data from your original module, all of your vehicle’s security information is transferred over. Your existing keys and remotes will work exactly as they did before, with no need for reprogramming.
How long does the entire process take?
Once we receive your original module, our technicians typically complete the programming and ship your replacement unit within one business day. The total turnaround time will depend on shipping speeds to and from our facility.
