End Frustrating Electrical Failures in Your GM Vehicle
Are you battling bizarre electrical gremlins in your Chevrolet, Buick, or GMC? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, a dead instrument cluster, or a security system that has a mind of its own are classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). This critical component acts as the central hub for your car’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can cause a cascade of confusing and unpredictable problems. Instead of facing a costly trip to the dealership for a new module and complex programming, we offer a simple, permanent solution with our professionally programmed 13583450 BCM.
Common Symptoms & Your Direct Solution
A faulty BCM can turn your reliable car into a source of daily frustration. You might be experiencing one or more of the following issues:
- Interior or exterior lights not working correctly (staying on or not turning on)
- Power windows, door locks, or mirrors operating erratically or not at all
- The security system engaging randomly, preventing the car from starting
- Instrument panel gauges behaving strangely or going dark
- Remote keyless entry failure
- Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) related to communication errors (U-codes)
This is the exact reason our mail-in cloning service for the programmed 13583450 BCM was created. We transfer the critical, vehicle-specific data—including the VIN, mileage, and security information—from your original module directly onto this fully tested replacement unit. The result is a true plug-and-play module that restores your vehicle’s full functionality without any additional programming.

Expert Insight: The BCM Digital Transplant
As a technician with over 20 years on the floor, I’ve seen countless drivers chase electrical ghosts. The BCM is the ‘central nervous system’ for your car’s body electronics. When it fails, the symptoms can seem random and unrelated. Our cloning process isn’t just a repair; it’s a digital transplant. We preserve the unique ‘DNA’ of your vehicle—its VIN, security keys, and specific options—ensuring that the new module integrates seamlessly, just like the original did from the factory. This is the smart, precise fix that gets it right the first time.
Important Post-Installation Steps
While our goal is a seamless installation, some vehicles may require minor recalibration procedures after the BCM is installed. These are standard steps that can often be performed with a capable professional scan tool:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light comes on after installation, the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure will need to be performed with a professional diagnostic tool to sync the system and turn off the light. This is only required if the light appears after installation.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: A brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be necessary to ensure proper brake light function and traction control system performance.
Specific procedures can vary by vehicle. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance.
Frequently Asked Questions
How exactly does this mail-in cloning service work?
It’s simple. After you place your order, we will contact you with secure shipping instructions. You send us your original BCM. Once we receive it, our technicians will extract the unique data and flash it onto the replacement module. We then ship the newly programmed module back to you, ready for installation.
Will I need to get this programmed by a dealer after I install it?
No. The entire purpose of our service is to provide you with a fully programmed 13583450 BCM that is ready for installation right out of the box. This process completely bypasses the need for expensive dealership tools or programming.
How can I be sure this part will fit my vehicle?
This BCM fits a wide range of GM models like the Volt, LaCrosse, SRX, Equinox, and more. The best way to confirm compatibility is to match the part number from your original BCM to one of the numbers listed in this description, such as 13583450, 13580773, or 13579004.
What if my original BCM is completely dead or water damaged?
In many cases, we can still recover data even from non-communicating or damaged modules. However, if you suspect severe damage, please contact us before ordering so we can discuss the specifics of your situation and determine the best course of action.
How long does the service take once you receive my module?
We pride ourselves on a fast turnaround. Typically, the cloning process is completed and the replacement module is shipped back out within 1-2 business days of us receiving your original part.
What if I see an airbag light on my dash after installation?
This is not uncommon. It simply means the new BCM needs to be electronically ‘introduced’ to the airbag system’s SDM module. A technician with a professional scan tool can perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to sync the modules and clear the light.
