Restore Your Vehicle’s Electrical System with a Professionally Programmed BCM
Are you dealing with frustrating and unpredictable electrical problems in your 2010 Buick Allure, LaCrosse, or Chevy Camaro? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, or a car that refuses to start can often be traced back to a single culprit: a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the nerve center for your car’s comfort and convenience features. When it starts to fail, it can cause a cascade of issues that are difficult to diagnose. This listing offers a straightforward, reliable solution: a replacement BCM, part number 13577268, that comes pre-programmed with your vehicle’s exact data.
Our unique service eliminates the biggest headache of replacing a modern vehicle computer. Instead of towing your car to a dealership for expensive programming, you simply ship us your original BCM. Our expert technicians will meticulously transfer all the critical information—including security keys and vehicle-specific options—to this fully tested replacement module. We then ship it back to you, ready for installation. This process ensures a seamless repair, saving you significant time, money, and hassle.
Case Study: A Tricky Diagnosis
A customer brought in a 2010 Chevy Camaro with a laundry list of bizarre symptoms. The radio would turn on by itself, the driver’s side window would only work intermittently, and the dome light would stay on, draining the battery. They had already replaced the battery and checked all the fuses. In my shop, I’ve seen this pattern hundreds of times. After connecting my diagnostic scanner, I saw multiple communication error codes (U-codes) pointing to the BCM. Instead of a complex wiring chase, the root cause was internal failure within the original module. By providing a cloned 2010 Allure BCM (which shares the same platform), we had the car’s electronics functioning perfectly in a day, saving the customer from what could have been weeks of diagnostic dead ends.
Is Your Vehicle Showing These Symptoms?
- âś” Power windows, door locks, or mirrors not working correctly.
- âś” Interior or exterior lights behaving erratically (flickering, staying on, or not turning on).
- âś” The security system preventing the car from starting (intermittent no-start).
- âś” The horn honking randomly or the alarm going off without reason.
- âś” Dashboard warning lights illuminating for no apparent reason.
- âś” Common Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) like U0140, U0155, or other B-series codes.
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
- âś” Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery before starting any electrical work.
- âś” Locate the BCM: On the 2010 Allure and LaCrosse, the BCM is typically found in the driver’s side (LH) kick panel area. On the 2010 Camaro, it’s located behind the passenger side (RH) of the dashboard.
- âś” Remove the Old Module: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors and unbolt the original BCM from its mounting bracket.
- âś” Install the Replacement: Mount your newly programmed BCM in the same location and securely reconnect all electrical harnesses.
- âś” Reconnect Power: Reattach the negative battery terminal.
- ✔ Test All Functions: Start the vehicle and test all body-related functions—windows, locks, lights, wipers, and radio—to confirm the repair was successful.
Important Post-Installation Information
In some cases, additional synchronization procedures may be required after installation. These are simple for any professional shop with a capable scan tool.
- Airbag System Sync: If your airbag warning light is on after installation, a procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ is needed to sync the airbag system with the new BCM.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: To ensure proper brake light and traction control operation, a brake pedal position sensor relearn might be necessary.
Disclaimer: Vehicle systems can vary. We always recommend consulting a factory service manual or a certified technician for specific guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the programming service work?
After you purchase, we will contact you with instructions to ship your original BCM to us. Once we receive it, we transfer all the necessary data to the replacement unit and ship it back to you, usually within 1-2 business days.
Is this a plug-and-play solution?
Yes, because we clone your original module’s data, the replacement BCM is plug-and-play. It requires no additional programming from a dealer. In some rare cases, a minor relearn procedure like for the brake pedal sensor might be needed.
Do I need to send my keys?
No, you do not need to send your keys. All the necessary security information is stored within your original BCM, which is what we will transfer.
What if my original BCM is completely dead or not communicating?
In most cases, even if the BCM is failing, we can still extract the required data. Please contact us before ordering if your module has severe water or fire damage.
Is there a core charge?
No, there is no core charge for this item. You are welcome to keep your original module after our programming service is complete.
What does this 2010 Allure BCM control?
The Body Control Module manages a wide range of non-engine related functions, including power windows, door locks, interior and exterior lighting, the alarm system, and communication between various other electronic modules.
