Is Your Chevy Acting Possessed?
Are you dealing with bizarre electrical gremlins in your vehicle? Flickering lights, power windows with a mind of their own, a security light that won’t turn off, or even an engine that refuses to start can be incredibly frustrating. These seemingly random issues often point to one central culprit: a failing Body Control Module (BCM). Instead of facing a costly and complicated trip to the dealership, you’ve found the straightforward, reliable solution to get your car back to 100%.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM & Your Direct Solution
A BCM is the central nervous system for your vehicle’s electronics. When it starts to fail, it can cause a cascade of problems. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this service is your definitive fix:
- Intermittent or non-working power windows, door locks, or interior lights.
- Erratic instrument cluster behavior or warning lights (like the security light).
- Remote keyless entry failure.
- Communication errors with other modules (often showing U-codes on a scanner).
- A no-start condition where the engine cranks but won’t fire up due to security system confusion.
Our professional cloning service makes this complex repair simple. You send us your original BCM, we transfer all the critical vehicle-specific data (including VIN, mileage, and security information) to this replacement unit, and we ship it back to you. The result is a true plug-and-play 2012 Chevy Cruze BCM replacement that restores full functionality without any additional programming required.

Expert Insight: The Body Control Module’s Role
As a technician, I’ve seen countless drivers chase what they believe are individual component failures—a bad window switch here, a faulty relay there. In many modern GM vehicles, these are just symptoms of a failing BCM. The BCM acts as a gatekeeper for dozens of functions. When its internal logic fails, it can send corrupt signals or no signals at all, making it look like other parts have failed. By addressing the root cause with a reliable 2012 Chevy Cruze BCM replacement, you’re not just fixing one problem; you’re restoring the stability of your vehicle’s entire electronic ecosystem.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does this programming service work?
It’s simple. After you place your order, we will contact you with clear instructions to ship your original BCM to our facility. Once we receive it, our technicians will professionally clone all the necessary data to the replacement module and ship it back to you, typically within 1-2 business days.
Is this BCM truly ‘plug and play’?
Yes. Because we transfer the unique data from your original module, the replacement unit will be recognized by your vehicle’s other computers, allowing for a seamless installation. In some cases, minor relearn procedures, like for the brake pedal position sensor, may be necessary as outlined in our included instructions.
Why do I have to send my original BCM in?
Your original BCM contains critical security information, your vehicle’s VIN, and specific option configurations. Transferring this data is the only way to ensure a true plug-and-play installation without the need for expensive dealership programming tools.
Will this fix my specific electrical problem?
This service is designed to fix issues caused by a faulty BCM. If your vehicle is experiencing multiple, seemingly unrelated electrical faults like those listed in the description, there is a very high probability that this 2012 Chevy Cruze BCM replacement is the solution you need.
What happens if the airbag light is on after I install it?
If the airbag (SRS) warning light appears after installation, it simply means the new BCM needs to be synced with the airbag module. This is done with a common procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM,’ which can be performed by most professional mechanics with a capable scan tool.
What part numbers is this compatible with?
This module replaces a wide range of part numbers, including 13583450, 13579004, 13580198, 13582396, 13586856, 13582688, 13586278, 13501737, 13501739, 13577924, 13580773, and 13583451. If your part number is on this list, this is the correct service for you.
