Restore Your Vehicle’s Electrical System with a Plug-and-Play BCM
Are you battling a cascade of frustrating electrical issues in your Buick LaCrosse, Chevy Cruze, or GMC Terrain? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows and locks, a dashboard that seems to have a mind of its own, or even a no-start condition can all point to a failing Body Control Module (BCM). This critical component is the central hub for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can make driving an unpredictable and stressful experience. Our professional programming service provides the definitive, hassle-free solution to get your car back to 100% functionality.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A faulty BCM can manifest in numerous ways, often leading to confusing diagnostics. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this service is your answer:
- Erratic or non-functional interior and exterior lights
- Power windows, door locks, or mirrors working intermittently or not at all
- Instrument cluster gauges behaving strangely or going dark
- Vehicle security system engaging randomly or preventing the car from starting
- Communication error codes (U-codes) stored in the system

We transfer the critical data from your original BCM directly to this replacement unit. The result is a true plug-and-play module for your 2011-2012 Buick LaCrosse BCM, arriving at your door ready for immediate installation with no further programming required.

Expert Insight: The Power of Cloning
Why is our cloning service superior to buying a used BCM from a salvage yard? A standard used module will not work in your car. It contains the security and options data from its original vehicle, which will conflict with your car’s systems, leading to a no-start condition or disabled features. Our process meticulously transfers your vehicleโs unique VIN, security keys, and options programming to the replacement module. This ‘digital fingerprint’ ensures the new 2011-2012 Buick LaCrosse BCM is accepted by all other computers in your car, restoring full functionality just as the original did when it was new.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does this programming service work?
It’s simple. After you place your order, we will provide instructions for you to ship your original BCM to us. Once we receive it, our technicians will clone the data onto the replacement module and ship the newly programmed unit back to you, typically within 1-2 business days.
Do I need to program this BCM after I receive it?
No. The module you receive will be fully programmed and ready for installation. In most cases, it is a plug-and-play repair. However, some vehicles may require a simple relearn procedure as noted in our post-installation instructions, such as for the brake pedal position sensor or airbag system.
What part numbers does this unit replace?
This BCM is a direct replacement for a wide range of part numbers, including 13579004, 13580198, 13582396, 13583450, 13586856, 13582688, 13586278, 13501737, 13501739, 13577924, 13580773, and 13583451.
Will this fix my specific electrical problem?
This programmed 2011-2012 Buick LaCrosse BCM is the solution for failures within the module itself. While it resolves the most common electrical issues, we always recommend a proper diagnosis by a qualified technician to confirm the BCM is the root cause of your problems before ordering.
What if my airbag light comes on after installation?
If the airbag warning light is on after you install the BCM, it simply means it needs to be synced with the airbag’s SDM module. A professional scan tool is required to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure, which is a quick process that will resolve the light.
How long does the entire process take?
Once we receive your original module, the programming and shipping process typically takes 1-2 business days. The total time will depend on the shipping speed you use to send your module to us and the return shipping method.
