Restore Full Electrical Function to Your Vehicle
Are you battling frustrating and unpredictable electrical problems in your 2010 Chevrolet Equinox, GMC Terrain, or other compatible GM vehicle? Issues like flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, a security system that won’t cooperate, or even a no-start condition often point to a single culprit: a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central nervous system for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can create a cascade of baffling symptoms. This replacement BCM, compatible with part number 13504004 and others, is the definitive solution to get your vehicle back in perfect working order.
The Simple, No-Dealership Solution
Replacing a BCM typically means a costly trip to the dealership for installation and programming. Our unique cloning service eliminates that step entirely. This isn’t just a part; it’s a complete service designed for you. You simply purchase this BCM, send us your original module, and we handle the rest. We extract the critical vehicle-specific data—including VIN, mileage, and security information—from your old BCM and flash it directly onto this replacement unit. When you receive it back, it’s a true plug-and-play component, ready for installation without any need for expensive scan tools or dealer intervention.
Common Symptoms of a Failing 2010 Equinox BCM
- ✔ Intermittent or non-functional power windows, door locks, or interior lights.
- ✔ The security system light stays on, or the alarm goes off randomly.
- ✔ Headlights, taillights, or turn signals behaving erratically.
- ✔ The vehicle won’t start, and you hear a rapid clicking sound from the dash.
- ✔ Warning lights for various systems (ABS, Airbag, Traction Control) appear on the instrument cluster.
- ✔ Wipers turning on by themselves or not working at all.
- ✔ Unexplained battery drain (parasitic draw) when the vehicle is off.

Post-Installation Notes
While our goal is a 100% plug-and-play experience, certain vehicle systems may require a simple sync procedure after installation. Please be aware of the following:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ will be necessary. This requires a professional-grade scan tool to sync the new BCM with the airbag module.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration might be needed to ensure proper function of the brake lights and traction control system.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician if you are unsure about any post-installation steps.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need to send you my original BCM?
Your original BCM contains vital security and configuration data unique to your vehicle’s VIN. By cloning this data to the replacement module, we make the new part plug-and-play, saving you from a mandatory and expensive programming session at a dealership.
Is this BCM difficult to install?
The physical installation is straightforward for someone with basic mechanical skills. The BCM is typically located under the driver’s side dashboard. The main challenge is programming, which our service completely handles for you.
What is the turnaround time for the programming service?
Once we receive your original module, the cloning process typically takes 1-2 business days. We then ship the programmed replacement back to you promptly.
Will this fix my specific electrical problem?
This part is a solution for a faulty BCM. If your vehicle exhibits several of the symptoms listed (erratic lights, security issues, power accessory failure), a failing BCM is the most likely cause. Proper diagnosis is always recommended.
What if the airbag light comes on after I install it?
This is a known possibility. The new BCM may need to be electronically introduced to the airbag module (SDM). A technician with a high-level scan tool can perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to resolve this.
