End the Frustrating Electrical Problems in Your Buick Encore
Are you dealing with bizarre and unpredictable issues in your 2013-2014 Buick Encore? Flickering interior lights, power windows that won’t respond, random warning lights on the dash, or even a car that refuses to start? These are classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central nervous system for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can cause a cascade of frustrating problems. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it can compromise your vehicle’s reliability. We offer a simple, definitive solution to restore your Encore to perfect working order.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A faulty BCM can manifest in many ways. You might be experiencing one or more of the following:
- Power windows, door locks, or mirrors working intermittently or not at all.
- Interior or exterior lights staying on, flickering, or not turning on.
- Erratic instrument cluster behavior or false warning lights.

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 module is a locked box; it contains the VIN and security information from the donor car. Installing it in your Encore will cause a mismatch, preventing the car from starting and requiring expensive dealer tools to even attempt a reprogram—which isn’t always successful. Our cloning service eliminates this risk entirely. By transferring your car’s unique electronic DNA to the new module, we deliver a Programmed 2013-2014 Buick Encore BCM that your vehicle instantly recognizes as its own. It’s the safest, most reliable, and most intelligent path to a successful repair.
Post-Installation Information
While our goal is a seamless installation, some GM vehicles may require minor electronic handshakes after the BCM is replaced. Please be aware of the following potential procedures:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is on after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure may be needed with a professional scan tool to sync the systems.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor relearn might be necessary for proper brake light and traction control function.
Specific procedures can vary by vehicle. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the cloning service work?
It’s simple. After you place your order, we will contact you with instructions to ship your original BCM to us. Once we receive it, our technicians will extract the data and flash it onto the replacement module. We then ship the ready-to-install BCM back to you with tracking information.
Will I need to program this BCM?
No. The entire point of our service is to handle the programming for you. The module you receive will be fully programmed with your car’s specific data, making it a plug-and-play part that requires no further dealer intervention.
Is this a guaranteed fix for my car’s problems?
This Programmed 2013-2014 Buick Encore BCM will fix all issues directly caused by a faulty Body Control Module. However, it’s crucial that your vehicle has been properly diagnosed. If your issues are caused by wiring problems, faulty sensors, or other modules, replacing the BCM will not resolve them.
What happens if I have an airbag light after installation?
This is a known possibility on some GM vehicles. The BCM and the airbag module (SDM) need to sync their security keys. A qualified technician with a high-level scan tool can perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure in a few minutes to resolve this.
How long does the entire process take?
We typically program and ship your replacement BCM within 1-2 business days of receiving your original module. The total time will depend on shipping transit times to and from our facility.
Does this fit vehicles other than the 2013-2014 Encore?
Yes. This BCM and our programming service are compatible with a wide range of GM vehicles from 2013-2017, including the Chevy Cruze, Equinox, Malibu, Volt, GMC Terrain, Cadillac SRX, and Buick Verano, among others. Please verify your part number from the provided list.
