Restore Your Vehicle’s Electrical Harmony
Are you battling a frustrating array of electrical gremlins in your vehicle? Flickering dashboard lights, unresponsive power windows, a security system that acts on its own, or warning lights that have no clear cause? These are classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central command center for your car’s body electronics, and when it falters, it can create chaos. This pre-programmed BCM is the definitive solution to restore order, getting your car back to the reliable and comfortable vehicle you depend on.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM & Your Solution
A faulty BCM can manifest in numerous ways, often making diagnosis difficult. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is your answer:
- Erratic or non-functional interior and exterior lights
- Power windows, door locks, or mirrors working intermittently or not at all
- Vehicle security system engaging randomly or preventing the car from starting
- Warning chimes or messages appearing for no reason
- HVAC (heating and air conditioning) controls not responding
- Communication errors with other vehicle modules (DTCs U0140, U0155, etc.)

Expert Insight: Why Our Cloning Service is the Smart Choice
As a technician with over two decades of experience, I’ve seen countless drivers spend a fortune at dealerships for BCM issues. They buy a new module, pay for hours of labor, and then pay again for programming that links the new BCM to the car. Our cloning service bypasses this entire ordeal. By transferring the unique ‘DNA’ from your old module to the new one, we create a true plug-and-play part. This is especially critical for a 2011 Buick Regal BCM replacement, where multiple electronic systems must communicate perfectly. This process isn’t just a repair; it’s a precise restoration of your car’s factory-intended functionality.
Important Post-Installation Procedures
While our programming handles the critical setup, some GM vehicles may require simple relearn procedures after installation. Please be aware of the following possibilities:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a professional scan tool must be used to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. This syncs the airbag system with the new BCM.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: In some cases, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be needed to ensure correct brake light and traction control operation.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for vehicle-specific guidance.
Frequently Asked Questions
How exactly 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 extract the necessary data and flash it onto the replacement module. We then ship the programmed module back to you, ready for installation. The entire process is designed to be as seamless as possible.
What part numbers does this BCM replace?
This module 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 I need to take my car to the dealer after installation?
No. The primary benefit of our service is that the module arrives pre-programmed for your specific vehicle. This eliminates the need for expensive dealer-level programming, making it a true plug-and-play solution for the core BCM functions.
What if the airbag light comes on after I install it?
This is a known possibility on some GM models. The airbag module (SDM) may need to be electronically ‘introduced’ to the new BCM. This is a simple procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ that can be performed by any competent repair shop with a professional-grade diagnostic tool.
Is this a difficult part to install?
The physical installation of a BCM is typically straightforward for someone with basic mechanical skills. It is often located in the driver or passenger side kick panel or behind the dash. The key is our programming service, which handles the complex part of the job before the module even arrives at your door. A proper 2011 Buick Regal BCM replacement is made much simpler with our service.
How long does the entire process take?
Once we receive your original module, our programming and handling time is typically 1-2 business days. We will then ship the replacement module back to you, and you will receive a tracking number at that time. Total turnaround time will depend on shipping speeds.
