Restore Full Electrical Function to Your Vehicle
Are you battling a host of strange and unpredictable electrical issues in your Chevrolet Cruze, Buick Regal, or GMC Terrain? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, a temperamental key fob, or a car that refuses to start can often be traced back to a single, vital component: the Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM acts as the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics. When it fails, it can create a cascade of frustrating problems. This listing offers a straightforward, cost-effective solution: a replacement BCM, programmed with your vehicle’s original data, making for a simple, plug-and-play installation.
Is Your BCM Failing? Common Symptoms
- ✔ Intermittent or non-functional power windows, locks, or mirrors.
- ✔ Erratic behavior from interior or exterior lights (flickering, staying on, or not turning on).
- ✔ Key fob not working or only working sporadically.
- ✔ Vehicle’s security system engaging randomly, causing a no-start condition.
- ✔ Unexplained battery drain that leaves you stranded.
- ✔ Warning lights on the dashboard appearing without a clear cause (e.g., ABS, Airbag, Traction Control).
- ✔ Wipers or horn activating on their own.
The Smart Solution: Our Mail-In Programming Service
Replacing a BCM isn’t just about swapping parts. A new module from the dealership is a blank slate; it requires expensive, specialized programming to sync with your vehicle’s VIN, security system, and specific options. Our service completely bypasses this costly and inconvenient step. We transfer the critical data from your original, faulty BCM directly onto this replacement unit. The result is a module that is 100% ready for installation the moment you receive it.

- ✔ We Program Your Replacement: Upon arrival, our technicians will professionally transfer all necessary data from your old module to the replacement unit.
- ✔ Receive Your Plug-and-Play Part: We ship the fully programmed replacement BCM back to you. Simply install it, and you’re ready to go!
Post-Installation Procedures for Your 2011 Cruze Body Control Module
While our programming service makes this a plug-and-play repair, some vehicle systems may require a simple recalibration after the new BCM is installed. These procedures are straightforward and can often be performed with a capable bi-directional scan tool.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure is necessary. This syncs the BCM with the airbag system’s Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM) to ensure safety system integrity.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: In some cases, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be needed. This ensures your brake lights function correctly and the traction control and ABS systems receive accurate data from the sensor.
Please note: Specific procedures can vary. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does the Body Control Module do?
The BCM is a computer that manages and controls many of your vehicle’s non-engine related electronic functions. This includes power windows, door locks, interior and exterior lighting, the security system, wipers, and more. It’s the brain behind your car’s creature comforts and security.
Why is this cloning service better than buying a new BCM from a dealer?
A new BCM from the dealer is a ‘blank’ unit that requires hours of expensive programming to work with your car’s specific VIN and options. Our service clones your existing data, so the replacement module is plug-and-play, saving you hundreds of dollars in programming fees and a trip to the dealership.
How long does the programming service take?
Once we receive your original BCM, our technicians typically complete the data transfer and prepare the replacement for shipment within 1-2 business days.
Do I need any special tools to install this?
Installation typically requires basic hand tools to access the BCM, which is usually located behind the driver’s side kick panel or dash. No programming tools are needed. However, as noted, a bi-directional scan tool may be required for post-installation procedures like an airbag sync or brake pedal relearn.
Is this a guaranteed fix for my car’s electrical problems?
If your vehicle’s issues match the common symptoms of BCM failure and a qualified technician has diagnosed the BCM as the faulty component, this service is a reliable and effective solution. It restores the BCM to its proper operational state.
