Restore Your Vehicle’s Brain and End Electrical Frustration
Are you dealing with bizarre electrical issues in your GMC Terrain, Equinox, or other compatible GM vehicle? Flickering lights, unresponsive power windows, a security system that acts up, or even a vehicle that refuses to start can all point to a single culprit: a failing Body Control Module (BCM). This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a breakdown in your vehicle’s central nervous system. We offer a straightforward, reliable solution with our mail-in programming service for the GMC Terrain BCM 13578420, getting you back on the road with confidence.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A faulty BCM can manifest in numerous ways, often leaving drivers and even mechanics chasing ghosts in the electrical system. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this service is the definitive fix:
- Intermittent or non-working power windows, door locks, or interior lights.
- Erratic instrument cluster behavior or warning lights that won’t turn off.
- Problems with the anti-theft or keyless entry systems.
- Communication errors with other modules (DTCs like U0140).
- A no-start condition where the engine cranks but won’t fire due to security conflicts.
Instead of buying a used module that creates new problems or paying steep dealership fees for a new unit and programming, our service provides a superior alternative. We transfer the critical data from your original BCM to this fully tested replacement unit, creating a true plug-and-play module matched specifically to your vehicle.

Expert Insight: Why Cloning is the Smart Choice
As a technician, I’ve seen countless vehicle owners try to save money by installing a used BCM from a salvage yard. This almost always ends in frustration. A BCM is not a simple swap-out part; it’s coded with a specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and security data. Installing a mismatched BCM can trigger the anti-theft system, preventing the car from starting and creating a problem that’s often more expensive to fix than the original issue. Our cloning service for the GMC Terrain BCM 13578420 completely bypasses this pitfall. We perform a precise digital transfer of your car’s unique ‘DNA,’ making the replacement module an exact twin of your original. It’s the most reliable and cost-effective way to ensure a successful repair.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does this mail-in programming service work?
It’s simple. Once you complete your purchase, we will contact you with clear, prepaid shipping instructions to send your original BCM to our facility. Upon arrival, our technicians will clone the necessary data to the replacement module. We then ship the ready-to-install BCM back to you, typically within 1-2 business days of receiving your original part.
Will I need to do any programming or visit a dealer after installation?
No. The entire purpose of our cloning service is to eliminate the need for additional programming. The replacement GMC Terrain BCM 13578420 will be plug-and-play, ready to function in your vehicle as soon as it’s installed.
What if my original BCM is damaged or not communicating?
In most cases, even if the BCM is failing, we can still extract the necessary data for the cloning process. If you believe your module is completely dead (e.g., water damaged or burned), please contact us before purchasing so we can discuss the situation and potential for recovery.
What are the potential post-installation procedures I should know about?
In some vehicles, two minor relearn procedures may be necessary. If the airbag light is on, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure may be needed. Additionally, a ‘Brake Pedal Position Relearn’ might be required for proper brake light and traction control function. These can be performed with a compatible high-level scan tool.
How do I know if this part will fit my vehicle?
This BCM fits 2010-2011 GMC Terrain, 2010-2011 Chevy Equinox, 2010 Cadillac SRX, 2011 Buick Regal, and 2011-2013 Chevy Cruze models. It is a direct replacement for part numbers 13577850, 13505326, 13500384, 13574844, 13504004, 13504494, and 13578420. Please verify the part number on your original module to ensure compatibility.
