Restore Full Electrical Function to Your Vehicle
Are you experiencing frustrating electrical problems in your Chevrolet Orlando, Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac SRX, or other compatible GM vehicle? Issues like malfunctioning power windows, erratic door locks, flickering interior lights, or a security system that acts up on its own are often traced back to a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can cause a wide range of confusing and disruptive symptoms. Replacing it at a dealership often involves costly new parts and expensive programming fees. Our professional cloning service offers a direct, affordable, and reliable solution.
The Simple, Plug-and-Play Solution
This listing is for a replacement BCM that is professionally programmed using the data from your vehicle’s original module. This process, often called cloning, ensures a seamless replacement. We transfer all the critical information—including key data, security settings, and vehicle-specific options—from your old BCM to this replacement unit. The result is a module that is 100% plug-and-play. There is no need for a trip to the dealership or for any additional programming with expensive scan tools. Just install the module, and your vehicle’s electronics will function as they should.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2012 Chevy Cruze come in with a laundry list of bizarre electrical issues. The radio would turn on by itself, the driver’s side window wouldn’t go down, and the anti-theft light would flash randomly, sometimes preventing the car from starting. The owner had already replaced the battery and checked all the fuses. After connecting our diagnostic tool, we saw multiple communication errors pointing towards the BCM. Instead of a costly new module and hours of programming, we performed a cloning service. We transferred the data from his faulty BCM to a good replacement unit. He installed it in his driveway in under an hour, and every single electrical gremlin was gone. It’s a powerful fix for a complex problem.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Intermittent or non-working power windows, door locks, or mirrors.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights staying on or not turning on at all.
- ✔ Malfunctioning windshield wipers or horn.
- ✔ Security system faults or anti-theft light illumination.
- ✔ False warnings or messages on the instrument cluster.
- ✔ Inability to start the vehicle due to security system lock-out.
- ✔ Communication errors with other vehicle modules (DTC U-codes).

- We Ship It Back: We ship the ready-to-install BCM back to you, typically within 1-2 business days, and provide you with tracking information.
Important Post-Installation Information
While our goal is a 100% plug-and-play experience, certain vehicle systems may require a simple sync or relearn procedure after installation. These are not always necessary but are good to be aware of:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is on after installation, a professional scan tool may be needed to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. This syncs the airbag system with the new BCM.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration might be required to ensure correct brake light and traction control operation.
Disclaimer: Specific procedures can vary by vehicle. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Body Control Module (BCM)?
The BCM is a computer in your vehicle that controls and monitors most of the non-engine related electronic accessories. This includes power windows, locks, lights, wipers, security systems, and more.
Why does my original BCM need to be sent in?
Your original BCM contains vital security and vehicle-specific configuration data. By reading this data and programming it into the replacement module, we ensure the new part is a perfect electronic match for your car, eliminating the need for dealership programming.
Is this BCM difficult to install?
Installation is typically straightforward. The BCM is usually located in the driver’s or passenger’s side kick panel, under the dash, or below the center console. It involves disconnecting the battery, removing a few trim panels, and unplugging the electrical connectors. No special programming is needed after you receive it back from us.
How long does the programming service take?
Once we receive your original module, our programming and testing process is typically completed within 1-2 business days. We then ship the replacement module back to you with tracking.
Will this fix my car’s no-start problem?
If the no-start condition is caused by the BCM’s anti-theft system (a common failure), then yes, this service will resolve the issue. By cloning your key data, the replacement BCM will recognize your existing keys.
