End Frustrating Electrical Problems for Good
Are strange electrical issues in your Buick, Chevy, or GMC vehicle driving you crazy? Flickering lights, power windows and locks that have a mind of their own, or a security system that prevents your car from starting are all classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). Instead of facing a massive bill and a long wait at the dealership, our mail-in 13580696 BCM Programming Service offers a reliable, straightforward, and cost-effective solution to restore your vehicle’s proper function and your peace of mind.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM & Your Solution
If you’re experiencing any of the following, a faulty BCM is the likely culprit. This service is designed to be the definitive fix for these frustrating electrical gremlins:
- Interior or exterior lights not working correctly (staying on, not turning on, or flickering)
- Power windows, door locks, or mirrors behaving erratically or not responding
- The security system engaging randomly, causing a no-start condition
- Erroneous warning lights on the instrument cluster
- Issues with the heating and A/C blower motor controls
Our process is simple: you send us your original BCM, and we professionally clone all of its critical dataโincluding the VIN, mileage, and key programmingโonto a fully tested replacement unit. We then ship the programmed module back to you, ready for a simple installation. This bypasses the need for expensive, complex programming tools or a trip to the dealer.

Expert Insight: The Power of Cloning
Why is cloning so effective? Many people try to save money by buying a used BCM from a junkyard, only to find it won’t work. That’s because a BCM is locked to the original vehicle’s VIN and specific electronic configuration. Our cloning service is not just a repair; it’s a data transplant. We create an exact digital twin of your original module’s brain, ensuring every systemโfrom your key fobs to your specific trim-level featuresโcommunicates perfectly, just as it did from the factory.
Frequently Asked Questions
How exactly does this programming service work?
It’s a simple mail-in process. After you place your order, we will provide instructions for you to ship your original BCM to us. Once we receive it, our technicians will extract the data and clone it to a replacement module. We then ship the newly programmed module back to you, ready for installation.
Do I need to get this BCM programmed by a dealer after I receive it?
No. The entire point of our 13580696 BCM Programming Service is to eliminate the need for any additional programming. Because we clone your original data, the replacement module is ready to be installed and function in your vehicle upon arrival.
What if my airbag light is on after installation?
In some cases, the airbag system (SDM) may need to be re-synced with the new BCM. This is a simple procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ that can be performed by a technician with a professional-grade diagnostic tool. This is only necessary if the airbag light appears after you’ve installed the module.
Is this a difficult part to install?
The BCM is typically located under the dashboard on the driver’s or passenger’s side. While the physical replacement is straightforward for someone with basic mechanical skills (disconnecting the battery, removing trim panels, and unplugging connectors), we always recommend consulting a service manual or a qualified technician if you are unsure.
Which vehicles is this BCM compatible with?
This BCM fits a wide range of 2012-2014 GM vehicles, including the Buick Verano, Regal, and LaCrosse; Chevy Camaro, Spark, and Equinox; GMC Terrain; and Cadillac SRX. Please check the fitment list on this page and match part number 13580696 or one of the alternate numbers to ensure compatibility.
What is the warranty on this part?
This unit is backed by our one-year replacement warranty, giving you confidence in the quality and reliability of the module and our service.
