Are you experiencing frustrating and unpredictable electrical issues with your Buick Encore? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, a car that won’t start, or random warning lights on the dash are common signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM).

This professional programming service for the Programmed 2013-2014 Buick Encore BCM 13584695 is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s electrical systems to perfect working order.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A faulty BCM can create a wide range of problems that seem unrelated. If you’re noticing any of the following, your BCM is the likely culprit:
- Intermittent or non-working interior/exterior lights
- Power windows, locks, or mirrors behaving erratically
- Vehicle security system randomly activating
- Engine cranks but refuses to start
- Warning lights (like ABS or Airbag) appearing for no reason
- Communication errors with diagnostic scan tools
Instead of paying for expensive dealership diagnostics and programming, our service provides a straightforward, cost-effective fix. We transfer the unique, vehicle-specific data from your original BCM directly onto a replacement unit. When you receive it back, it’s a simple plug-and-play installation, getting you back on the road quickly and confidently.

Expert Insight: Why Our Cloning Service is the Smart Choice
Many people consider buying a used BCM from a junkyard to save money, but this often leads to more problems. A used BCM contains the VIN and security data from a different vehicle. When installed, it will not communicate with your car’s engine computer or key, resulting in a no-start condition. Our cloning service is fundamentally different. We perform a precise, one-to-one data transfer from your original module to the replacement. This means the replacement BCM is an exact electronic duplicate of your original, making it the most reliable and hassle-free way to fix your Programmed 2013-2014 Buick Encore BCM 13584695 issues.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does this programming service work?
It’s a simple process. After you place your order, we will contact you with instructions to ship your original BCM to our facility. Once we receive it, our technicians will clone the data to a replacement module and ship it back to you, typically within 1-2 business days. The returned unit is ready for installation.
Why do I need to send you my original BCM?
Your original BCM holds the unique Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), security information, and programming for your specific car’s features. By transferring this data, we ensure the replacement module works seamlessly with your vehicle’s other computers without any additional programming.
Will I need to do any programming after I install it?
No. The module arrives ready to install. However, in some GM vehicles, post-install procedures like an ‘Airbag System Sync’ or ‘Brake Pedal Position Relearn’ may be necessary if specific warning lights appear. These procedures require a professional scan tool but are not a full reprogramming.
What happens if my airbag light comes on after installation?
If the airbag light is on, it means the new BCM needs to be synchronized with the airbag system (SDM). A technician with a professional diagnostic tool will need to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to resolve this.
Is this part difficult to replace myself?
The BCM on a 2013-2014 Buick Encore is located on the left side of the dash. While the physical replacement is straightforward for someone with moderate mechanical skill (disconnecting the battery, removing trim panels, and unplugging connectors), we always recommend consulting a service manual or having a qualified technician perform the installation.
How do I know if this fits my vehicle?
This service is for the Programmed 2013-2014 Buick Encore BCM 13584695 and also covers a wide range of other GM models like the Equinox, Cruze, Malibu, and Terrain. Please check the detailed fitment list on this page and verify that your original BCM has one of the listed part numbers to ensure compatibility.
