Restore Your Vehicle’s Electrical System to Perfect Health
Are you dealing with baffling electrical issues in your Cadillac, Buick, or Chevy? Flickering lights, unresponsive power windows, random security alerts, or even a vehicle that refuses to start can all point to a failing Body Control Module (BCM). These problems are more than just an annoyance; they compromise your vehicle’s convenience and reliability. This professional 13580696 BCM programming service is the definitive solution to restore full functionality and your peace of mind.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A faulty BCM can turn your driving experience into a frustrating guessing game. If you’re noticing any of the following, it’s a strong indicator that your BCM needs attention:
- Interior or exterior lights behaving erratically (staying on or not turning on)
- Power windows, door locks, or mirrors working intermittently or not at all
- The security system engaging randomly or preventing the car from starting
- Warning lights on the dash with no apparent cause
- Communication errors with diagnostic scan tools (e.g., U-codes)
Instead of paying for expensive diagnostics and dealership programming, our service provides a direct, reliable fix. We transfer the unique, vehicle-specific data from your original BCM to a fully tested replacement unit. This cloning process ensures the replacement module is a perfect digital match for your car, making installation a straightforward, plug-and-play process.

Expert Insight: Why Cloning is the Superior Method
When a BCM fails, many people think they can just buy a used one and install it. This will not work. The BCM is the central hub for your vehicle’s security and options, containing the unique Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and specific settings for your car’s features. Our cloning service is not just ‘programming’; it’s a complete data transfer. We lift the entire operational identity from your old module and implant it onto the new one. This ensures that everythingโfrom your key fobs to your specific trim-level optionsโworks exactly as it did from the factory. It’s the most precise and reliable way to replace a BCM outside of the dealership.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the exact process for this 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 module. We then ship the newly programmed BCM back to you, typically within 1-2 business days, and provide you with tracking information.
Will I need to do any programming after I install it?
Our 13580696 BCM programming service makes the unit plug-and-play for most functions. However, in some cases, certain security or safety systems may require a ‘relearn’ or ‘sync’ procedure. For example, if your airbag light is on, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure may be needed with a professional scan tool. These are minor procedures compared to programming a new module from scratch.
Is this a repair of my original BCM?
No. This service is for programming a replacement BCM. We use your original, failed BCM only to extract the necessary data. You will receive a different, fully functional BCM that has been loaded with your car’s specific information.
What happens if I can’t send my original BCM?
This service absolutely requires your original module to perform the data transfer. If your original BCM is lost or damaged to the point where data cannot be read, we cannot perform this service for you. The data on your original module is essential for a successful clone.
How do I know if my BCM is the problem?
While the symptoms listed above are strong indicators, a definitive diagnosis from a qualified technician is always the best course of action. A failing BCM often causes multiple, seemingly unrelated electrical issues simultaneously. If you’re experiencing problems with lights, locks, and windows all at once, the BCM is a very likely culprit.
