Tired of Unpredictable Electrical Problems in Your GM Vehicle?
Is your Chevrolet Volt, Buick LaCrosse, or Cadillac SRX acting possessed? Flickering lights, unresponsive power windows, random security alerts, or a dashboard that has a mind of its own are all classic signs of 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 cause a cascade of frustrating and confusing issues. Instead of facing a costly and complicated trip to the dealership, get the precise, plug-and-play solution that restores your vehicle’s function and your peace of mind.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A failing BCM can manifest in numerous ways, often leading to misdiagnosis. If you’re experiencing any of the following, our professionally cloned 13583450 Body Control Module is the definitive answer:
- Intermittent or non-working power windows, door locks, and interior lights.
- The security or anti-theft system engages randomly, preventing the car from starting.
- Erratic instrument cluster behavior or warning lights that won’t turn off.
- Communication failure codes (U-codes) when scanned with a diagnostic tool.
- HVAC (heating and air conditioning) controls not responding correctly.
Our unique cloning service makes this repair straightforward. You simply send us your original BCM. We then transfer all the critical, vehicle-specific data—including VIN, mileage, and key programming—to this fully tested replacement unit. We ship it back to you ready for a simple, plug-and-play installation. No dealer visits, no additional programming, no hassle.

Expert Insight: Why Cloning is Superior to Reprogramming
As a technician with over 20 years of experience, I can tell you that not all BCM services are created equal. A simple “reprogramming” service from a dealer often involves loading generic software onto a new module, which can miss vehicle-specific options your car was built with. Our cloning process is different. We perform a direct, bit-for-bit data transfer from your old module to the new one. This method is like making a perfect copy of your car’s electronic DNA, ensuring every feature—from the specific key fobs to the trim-level lighting options—works exactly as it did from the factory. It’s the most reliable way to guarantee a flawless repair for a complex component like the 13583450 Body Control Module.
Post-Installation Procedures
While our goal is a 100% plug-and-play experience, some vehicles may require minor recalibrations after the BCM is installed. Please be aware of the following possibilities:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is on after installation, a “Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM” procedure must be performed with a professional scan tool to sync the modules.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration might be needed to ensure proper brake light and traction control operation.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for vehicle-specific guidance.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the process for this cloning service?
It’s simple. After you place your order, we will contact you with detailed instructions to ship your original BCM to our facility. Once we receive it, our technicians will perform the data transfer to the replacement unit, typically within 1-2 business days. We then ship the ready-to-install BCM back to you with tracking information.
Will I need to have my keys reprogrammed?
No. Our cloning service transfers all your original key fob and transponder data to the replacement module. Your existing keys will work immediately upon installation, saving you a significant amount of time and money.
What if my original BCM is completely dead or not communicating?
In many cases, even if the BCM is not communicating with the vehicle, we can still extract the necessary data directly from the memory chip. Please contact us before ordering if your module is completely non-responsive so we can discuss the specifics of your situation.
How can I be sure the BCM is the cause of my problems?
While the symptoms listed above are strong indicators, a definitive diagnosis from a qualified technician is always recommended. Common diagnostic trouble codes related to BCM failure often start with a “U” (e.g., U0140, U0155), indicating a loss of communication with other modules on the vehicle’s network.
Which vehicles is this 13583450 Body Control Module compatible with?
This module and service are compatible with a wide range of GM vehicles, including the Chevy Volt, Cruze, Equinox, Camaro, Orlando; Buick LaCrosse, Regal; Cadillac SRX; and GMC Terrain from approximately 2011-2013.
