Restore Your Vehicle’s Electrical System with a Hassle-Free Solution
Are you battling bizarre electrical gremlins in your 2010 Buick LaCrosse, Allure, or Chevy Camaro? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, or a security system that has a mind of its own are classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central hub for your car’s comfort and convenience features, and when it fails, it can cause a cascade of frustrating, hard-to-diagnose problems. Instead of facing a costly trip to the dealership for a new module and expensive programming, we offer a streamlined, reliable solution. This listing is for a replacement BCM that comes fully programmed with your vehicle’s original data, making installation a breeze.
Case Study: A Tricky Diagnosis
I recently had a 2010 LaCrosse in my bay that was driving the owner crazy. The radio would turn on and off randomly, the driver’s side power window worked intermittently, and occasionally the car wouldn’t start, showing only a security light on the dash. The owner had already replaced the battery and checked the fuses. After connecting my diagnostic scanner, I saw multiple communication error codes (U-codes) pointing to a network issue. Experience told me to look at the BCM. By providing a pre-programmed 2010 LaCrosse BCM, we were able to solve all the issues in one go, saving the customer hundreds of dollars and the headache of a dealership visit.
Is Your Vehicle Showing These Symptoms?
- ✔ Power windows, door locks, or mirrors not working correctly
- ✔ Interior dome lights or exterior lamps behaving erratically
- ✔ The anti-theft or security system light is on, preventing the car from starting
- ✔ Intermittent instrument cluster functionality
- ✔ Diagnostic trouble codes related to communication loss with other modules (e.g., U0140, U0155)
- ✔ Wipers or horn activating unexpectedly
How Our Simple Mail-In Cloning Service Works
We’ve made this process as straightforward as possible. After your purchase, we will contact you with clear, step-by-step instructions for shipping your original BCM to our facility. Once we receive it, our expert technicians will transfer all the critical data—including VIN, mileage, and key information—to the replacement module. We then ship the fully programmed BCM back to you, typically within one business day. The result is a true plug-and-play part, ready for installation without any further programming required on your end.
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
- ✔ Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery before starting any electrical work.
- ✔ Locate the BCM: In the 2010 LaCrosse and Allure, the BCM is found behind the driver’s side (LH) kick panel. In the Camaro, it’s located behind the passenger’s side (RH) of the dashboard.
- ✔ Remove Trim: Carefully remove any plastic trim or panels necessary to access the module.
- ✔ Disconnect and Remove: Unplug the electrical connectors from the old BCM. They have locking tabs that need to be depressed. Once disconnected, unbolt or unclip the module from its mounting bracket.
- ✔ Install the New BCM: Mount your newly programmed module in place and securely reconnect all electrical connectors. You should hear a ‘click’ as they lock.
- ✔ Final Steps: Re-install the trim panels and reconnect the negative battery terminal. Start the vehicle to confirm that the issues are resolved.
Important Post-Installation Information
With our cloning service, most vehicles will not require any additional procedures. However, in some cases, you may need to perform a simple relearn. If your airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a professional scan tool is needed to perform the “Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM” procedure. Additionally, some models may require a Brake Pedal Position sensor relearn to ensure proper function of the brake lights and traction control system. Always refer to a factory service manual for vehicle-specific details.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the mail-in cloning service work?
After you place your order, we will email you instructions and a shipping address. You send us your original BCM. We copy the data to the replacement module and ship it back to you, ready to install.
Is this BCM difficult to install?
The physical installation is straightforward for most DIY enthusiasts. It involves removing a kick panel, unplugging the old module, and plugging in the new one. The complex programming is already done by us.
Will I need to go to the dealer after installation?
No. Our cloning service makes this a plug-and-play module. In rare cases, an airbag or brake pedal position relearn may be needed, which can be done by most independent shops with a professional scan tool.
What if my original BCM is completely dead?
Even if your module is non-functional, we can often still extract the necessary data for the cloning process. Please contact us if you have concerns about the condition of your original BCM.
Do I have to send my old part back for a core charge?
No, there is no core charge for this item. We only need your original module to perform the programming service. You can keep it afterward.
