Are Bizarre Electrical Issues Disrupting Your Drive?
If your Impala, XTS, ATS, or Sonic is suffering from strange and unpredictable electrical problems, a failing Body Control Module (BCM) is the most likely culprit. You might be experiencing flickering lights, power windows and locks that have a mind of their own, a security system that won’t cooperate, or even a frustrating no-start condition. These aren’t just annoyances; they compromise your vehicle’s reliability and your peace of mind. Instead of facing an expensive and time-consuming trip to the dealership, we offer a direct, simple, and effective solution.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM & Your Direct Solution
A faulty BCM can manifest in numerous ways, often leading to confusing diagnostic codes (like U-series communication codes) or no codes at all. Look out for these common warning signs:
- Intermittent or non-working interior/exterior lights
- Power windows, door locks, or mirrors behaving erratically
- Security system faults or key fob recognition issues
- The engine cranks but refuses to start
- Warning lights on the dash that appear without reason
- Instrument cluster gauges dropping out or acting strangely

Through our professional cloning service, we transfer the critical software and security data from your original module to this replacement unit. The result is a true plug-and-play component that restores your vehicle’s factory functions without any additional programming required.

Expert Insight: Why Our Cloning Service is Superior
As a technician, I’ve seen countless drivers buy a used BCM from a salvage yard, only to find it’s a useless brick. Without the original vehicle’s unique programming, it won’t communicate with the other modules in your car. Our cloning service bypasses this entire problem. We perform a precise, bit-for-bit data transfer from your original BCM to the replacement. This means the new module is an exact electronic twin of your old one, retaining all the subtle configurations for your specific trim level and options. It’s the closest you can get to a brand-new, factory-installed part without the brand-new price tag.
Take control of your vehicle’s repair. Ordering this Programmed 13586589 BCM is the first step toward a reliable and fully functional car. After your purchase, we will contact you with simple instructions for shipping your original module to our facility. Once we receive it, our technicians will promptly complete the cloning process and ship your ready-to-install BCM back to you.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the cloning service work?
It’s a simple process. After you place your order, we will provide you with instructions to ship your original BCM to us. Once we receive it, we use specialized equipment to extract the unique data and program it onto the replacement module. We then ship the newly programmed module back to you, ready for installation.
Do I need to do any programming or calibration after installation?
No, the primary benefit of our service is that the module arrives fully programmed for your specific vehicle. In some cases, as noted in our documentation, minor relearn procedures like for the Brake Pedal Position sensor or an SDM key sync may be necessary, but the core programming is 100% complete.
What if my original BCM is completely dead or not communicating?
In many cases, even if the BCM is failing, we can still extract the necessary data. If your module has severe water or fire damage, data recovery may not be possible. Please contact us before ordering if you suspect your module is physically destroyed.
Is this a guaranteed fix for my car’s problems?
This Programmed 13586589 BCM will resolve all issues directly caused by a faulty Body Control Module. However, proper vehicle diagnostics are essential. Please ensure that you or your mechanic have confirmed the BCM is the source of the problem, as other issues (like wiring or other modules) can cause similar symptoms.
What tools are needed for installation?
Installation typically requires only basic hand tools, such as a socket set and screwdrivers, to access and remove the BCM from its mounting location (e.g., behind the dash or on the firewall). Always disconnect the battery before beginning work.
What happens if the airbag light comes on after I install it?
If the airbag light illuminates, it simply means the BCM and the airbag system (SDM) need to be re-synchronized. This is a common occurrence and is resolved by performing the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure with a professional-grade scan tool.
