Restore Full Electrical Function to Your Vehicle
Are you battling a storm of bizarre electrical problems in your vehicle? From power windows with a mind of their own to dashboard lights that flicker for no reason, a failing Body Control Module (BCM) is often the culprit. The BCM is the central command center for your car’s body electronics, and when it malfunctions, it can make driving a frustrating and unpredictable experience. This listing offers a straightforward, reliable solution: a replacement BCM, pre-programmed with your vehicle’s original data, ensuring a seamless, plug-and-play installation.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We recently had a 2012 GMC Terrain in the shop with a classic BCM failure symptom: a parasitic battery drain that left the owner stranded multiple times. They had already replaced the battery and the alternator to no avail. After a thorough diagnostic, we traced the power draw to the BCM, which was failing to shut down the radio and interior light circuits after the key was removed. Instead of a costly and time-consuming repair at the dealership, we used a programming service just like this one. We cloned the original module’s data onto a replacement unit, installed it, and the problem was solved in a fraction of the time and cost. It’s a testament to how this service gets you back on the road without the dealership hassle.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
If you’re experiencing any of the following issues, your BCM may be at fault. This programmed 2012 Regal BCM is designed to resolve these exact problems:
- ✔ Power windows, door locks, or mirrors behaving erratically or not working at all.
- ✔ Interior dome lights, headlights, or taillights staying on, flickering, or failing to illuminate.
- ✔ The vehicle’s security system malfunctioning or the keyless entry failing to respond.
- ✔ Unexplained battery drain that kills your battery overnight.
- ✔ The horn or windshield wipers activating randomly.
- ✔ False warnings on the instrument cluster, such as ‘door ajar’ or other system alerts.

Post-Installation Procedures
While our goal is a 100% plug-and-play experience, certain vehicle systems may require a simple recalibration after the BCM is installed. Please be aware of the following potential procedures:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a professional scan tool must be used to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration might be necessary to ensure correct brake light operation and to prevent issues with the traction control system.
Disclaimer: Specific procedures can vary by vehicle. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does this mail-in programming service work?
After you place your order, you will ship your original BCM to us. We then copy the essential vehicle data from your module to the replacement unit and ship the ready-to-install part back to you. This ensures perfect compatibility.
Is this BCM truly plug-and-play?
Yes. Because we transfer your vehicle’s original data, the replacement BCM will be recognized by your car’s other computers, requiring no further programming from a dealer. In some rare cases, a simple relearn procedure as noted above may be necessary.
What part numbers does this module replace?
This module is a direct replacement for part numbers 13580696, 123589093, 13588446, 13584692, and 13583542.
What happens if my airbag light is on after I install it?
If the airbag light appears, it means the BCM needs to be synchronized with the airbag module (SDM). A technician with a professional diagnostic tool will need to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to resolve this.
Do I need to send my keys with the module?
No, you do not need to send your keys. All the necessary security information is contained within your original BCM, which is all we need to perform the data transfer.
How long does the entire process take?
We typically program and ship the replacement module within 1-2 business days of receiving your original BCM. The total turnaround time will depend on shipping speeds to and from our facility.
