Is Your Vehicle Plagued by Electrical Gremlins?
Are you battling a vehicle that seems to have a mind of its own? Power windows that refuse to operate, dashboard lights that flicker randomly, or a security system that prevents your car from starting can be incredibly frustrating. These aren’t separate, unrelated issues; they often point to a single culprit: a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central nervous system for your car’s body electronics, managing everything from your interior lights and power locks to your key fob and security system. When it fails, it can cause a cascade of confusing and unpredictable problems.
Symptoms of a Failing Body Control Module
A faulty BCM can manifest in numerous ways. If you’re experiencing any of the following, your BCM is likely the component that needs attention:
- ā Intermittent or non-working power windows, door locks, or mirrors.
- ā Erratic behavior from interior dome lights, headlights, or taillights.
- ā Instrument cluster warning lights (like the airbag or security light) illuminating for no reason.
- ā Keyless entry remote (key fob) not responding or working sporadically.
- ā Vehicle security system acting up, causing alarm issues or a no-start condition.
- ā Radio, climate control, or other interior accessories malfunctioning.
- ā Wipers or turn signals activating on their own.

Installation and Post-Install Notes
Installation is typically straightforward. After disconnecting the negative battery terminal, locate and swap your original BCM with the programmed unit we send you. While this is a plug-and-play part, some vehicles may require a simple relearn procedure.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is on after installation, a professional scan tool is needed to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: In some cases, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be necessary to ensure proper brake light and traction control operation.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for vehicle-specific guidance.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Body Control Module (BCM)?
The BCM is a computer in your vehicle that controls and monitors a wide range of electronic accessories not related to the engine, such as power windows, locks, lights, wipers, and the security system.
How does this programming service work?
You send us your original BCM. We then extract its unique data (VIN, security keys, options) and flash it onto a fully functional replacement BCM. We then ship this cloned module back to you, ready for plug-and-play installation.
Why is cloning better than just buying a used BCM?
A standard used BCM from a salvage yard will not work in your car because it’s programmed to the donor vehicle’s VIN and security system. Our cloning service makes the replacement BCM an exact electronic match for your car, eliminating the need for expensive dealership programming.
Is this part difficult to install?
For most models, the BCM is located under the dashboard and is accessible with basic hand tools. The physical swap is generally simple. No programming is required on your end, making it a DIY-friendly repair.
What happens if I don’t send my original BCM?
This service is entirely dependent on cloning the data from your original module. We cannot complete the order without it. If your module is lost or completely unreadable, please contact us to discuss other options.
Do I need to do anything after installing the new 2012 Regal BCM?
In most cases, no. It is a plug-and-play part. However, as noted above, some vehicles may require an airbag system sync or brake pedal position relearn if specific warning lights appear after installation.
