Is Your Buick or Chevrolet Experiencing Strange Electrical Problems?
If your 2010 Buick Allure, LaCrosse, or Chevrolet Camaro is suffering from flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows and locks, or even a no-start condition, a failing Body Control Module (BCM) is often the culprit. The BCM acts as the central nervous system for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can cause a cascade of frustrating and seemingly unrelated issues. Don’t let a faulty module keep you off the road. We offer a simple, reliable solution to get your vehicle’s electronics working perfectly again.
This listing is for a replacement BCM, part number 13577268, that is professionally programmed with the data from your vehicle’s original module. This cloning process ensures that the replacement unit is a perfect match for your car’s specific configuration, making installation a true plug-and-play experience. You get a fully functional part without the exorbitant costs and scheduling hassles of a dealership visit.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional interior and exterior lights (headlights, dome lights, dash lights).
- ✔ Power windows, door locks, or mirrors not working correctly.
- ✔ Intermittent no-start or no-crank conditions.
- ✔ Security system or anti-theft light flashing, preventing the engine from starting.
- ✔ Inaccurate gauge readings on the instrument cluster.
- ✔ Horn honking unexpectedly or not working at all.
- ✔ Communication error codes stored in the vehicle’s diagnostic system.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2010 LaCrosse come into the shop with a truly baffling set of symptoms. The owner reported that sometimes the radio would turn off, the driver’s side window wouldn’t roll down, and occasionally the car wouldn’t start. He had already replaced the battery and checked the alternator. After connecting our scan tool, we saw multiple communication loss codes with various modules. Instead of chasing each individual problem, we went straight to the central hub: the BCM. After inspecting the original module and confirming it was the source of the network failure, we performed a cloning service just like this one. The replacement BCM restored communication instantly, and all the bizarre electrical gremlins vanished. It’s a great reminder that when multiple, unrelated electronic systems fail at once, the BCM should be your primary suspect.
Why Choose Our Programmed 2010 Allure Body Control Module?
Our professional programming service is the key to a successful and stress-free repair. A BCM from a dealership requires on-car programming with specialized tools, and a used module from a salvage yard will contain the incorrect Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and option data, causing it to not function in your car. Our service bypasses these issues entirely.
The Process is Simple:
- Place Your Order: Complete your purchase through our secure checkout.
- We Contact You: We will reach out with clear instructions on how to ship your original BCM to our facility.
- We Program Your Part: Upon receiving your module, our technicians will extract the critical data and flash it onto the replacement 13577268 BCM.
- We Ship It Back: We ship your newly programmed module back to you, typically within one business day. You will receive tracking information as soon as it’s on its way.
Installation and Post-Install Notes
The BCM is typically located in the driver’s or passenger’s side kick panel or behind the dash. Installation is as simple as disconnecting the battery, removing the old module, and plugging in the new one. However, in some cases, additional synchronization procedures may be required:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure must be performed with a professional scan tool to sync the airbag system. This is only necessary if the light appears.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration might be needed to ensure correct brake light operation.
Disclaimer: Vehicle systems can vary. We always recommend consulting a factory service manual or a qualified technician for specific guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Body Control Module (BCM)?
The BCM is a computer in your vehicle that controls and monitors many of its non-engine related electronic functions, such as power windows, locks, lights, security system, and wipers.
How does your programming service work?
You send us your original BCM. We use specialized equipment to read the unique data from it—including the VIN and other vehicle-specific settings—and transfer that data to the replacement BCM. This makes the new part a perfect ‘clone’ of your old one.
Do I need to get this part programmed by a dealer?
No. Our service completely eliminates the need for any additional programming. The module you receive from us will be plug-and-play, ready for installation right out of the box.
How long does the entire process take?
Once we receive your original module, we typically program and ship the replacement unit within 24-48 hours. The total time depends on shipping transit times to and from our facility.
Is it difficult to replace a BCM?
Physically replacing the BCM is usually straightforward. It’s located in an accessible spot like the driver’s side kick panel and involves unplugging a few connectors and removing some bolts. Always disconnect the battery before starting.
