Is Your Vehicle Plagued by Baffling Electrical Problems?
Dealing with a modern vehicle’s electronic issues can be incredibly frustrating. One moment your power windows work, the next they don’t. The security light flashes for no reason, or worse, your car refuses to start. These aren’t random glitches; they 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 fails, it creates a cascade of confusing problems. This mail-in programming service is the definitive, hassle-free solution to restore your vehicle’s functionality and your peace of mind.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
If you’re experiencing any of the following, a faulty BCM is the likely culprit. This service is designed to permanently resolve these issues:
- Intermittent or non-working power windows, door locks, and interior lights.
- Erratic instrument cluster behavior or warning lights (Airbag, ABS, Security).
- Problems with the key fob, remote start, or security system.
- Communication errors with other modules (often showing U-codes on a scan tool).
- A no-start condition where the engine cranks but won’t fire due to security system failure.
Instead of paying for expensive diagnostics and programming at a dealership, our service provides a fully Programmed GM Body Control Module that is ready for installation right out of the box. We handle the complex part, so you can handle the simple install.
Expert Insight: The BCM Domino Effect
As a technician with over 20 years of experience, I’ve seen how a failing BCM can send owners and even other shops on a wild goose chase. You might replace a window motor, only to find the problem persists. That’s because the BCM is the ‘brain’ giving the command, not the motor itself. It communicates with nearly every other computer in your carโfrom the engine controller to the airbag system. When its internal logic fails, it sends corrupt data, causing perfectly good parts to malfunction. Our cloning service ensures the replacement BCM speaks the exact same digital language as your car’s original module, fixing the root cause and stopping the frustrating domino effect of electrical failures.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the process for this mail-in service?
It’s simple. After you complete your purchase, we will contact you with detailed instructions and the address to ship your original BCM. Once we receive it, our technicians will clone the necessary data to the replacement unit and ship it back to you, typically within 1-2 business days. We will provide you with a return tracking number.
What if my original BCM is completely dead or unreadable?
In most cases, even if the module is failing, we can still extract the necessary data. If your module is severely damaged (e.g., by fire or water) and the data is unrecoverable, we will contact you to discuss other options or provide a full refund.
Will I need to do any programming after I install it?
No. Our cloning service makes this a true plug-and-play module. All the vehicle-specific information, including VIN and security keys, are transferred. In some rare cases, a specific relearn procedure like for the Brake Pedal Position sensor may be needed, but this does not require a dealership visit.
Why do I see an airbag light after installation?
Occasionally, the new BCM needs to be electronically ‘introduced’ to the airbag system (SDM). If the airbag light is on after installation, a technician will need to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure with a professional scan tool to sync the modules. This is a quick procedure for any qualified shop.
Which part numbers does this service cover?
This service is compatible with a wide range of part numbers, including 13579004, 13580198, 13582396, 13583450, 13586856, 13582688, 13586278, 13501737, 13501739, 13577924, 13580773, and 13583451. The replacement Programmed GM Body Control Module will be fully compatible with your vehicle’s original specifications.
