Are you battling a storm of strange electrical problems in your Chevrolet, Buick, or GMC? From power windows with a mind of their own and flickering dashboard lights to a car that refuses to start, a failing Body Control Module (BCM) can turn your trusted vehicle into a source of daily frustration. Stop chasing symptoms and address the root cause with a reliable, straightforward solution that gets you back on the road without the dealership hassle.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM & Your Direct Solution
If you’re experiencing any of the following, a faulty BCM is the likely culprit:
- Intermittent or non-working power windows, door locks, or interior lights.
- Erratic instrument cluster behavior or warning lights (ABS, Airbag, Security) that won’t turn off.
- Problems with the vehicle’s security system, leading to no-start conditions.
- Communication errors with other vehicle modules (DTCs like U0100, U0140).
- HVAC (heating and air conditioning) controls not responding correctly.

Expert Insight: The Power of Cloning
Why is cloning better than a generic BCM from a dealer? When a dealership installs a new BCM, they program it with a base file from GM. Our cloning process, however, is a complete digital replica of your original module. It preserves all the nuanced settings, learned parameters, and software versions unique to your specific vehicle’s history. This method avoids potential compatibility conflicts and ensures that every feature your car left the factory with works exactly as it should. It’s the most reliable way to restore your vehicle’s electronic soul.
This service is the ideal solution for both savvy DIYers and professional repair shops looking for a reliable 2013-2016 Cruze Programmed BCM. The process is simple: after your purchase, we will provide instructions for you to send your original module to our facility. Our technicians will perform the data transfer and ship your plug-and-play replacement BCM back to you promptly. You will get your vehicle back to its dependable self, free from the frustrating electrical gremlins caused by a failing module. This 2013-2016 Cruze Programmed BCM service restores order to your vehicle’s complex systems.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the mail-in cloning process work?
It’s simple. After you complete your purchase, we will contact you with clear instructions on how to package and ship your original BCM to us. Once we receive it, our technicians will clone the data to the replacement unit, typically within 1-2 business days, and ship it back to you with tracking information.
Is this BCM truly plug-and-play after programming?
Yes, the core functions will be plug-and-play. Because we clone your original data, no dealer visit is required for programming. However, as noted, some vehicles may require a simple ‘relearn’ procedure for the Brake Pedal Position sensor or Airbag system, which can be done with a capable diagnostic tool if a warning light appears.
What if my original BCM is completely dead or water damaged?
Our cloning service requires a readable original module. If your BCM has severe physical damage (fire, water) or is completely non-communicative, we may not be able to retrieve the data. Please contact us before ordering if you suspect this is the case so we can discuss potential options.
Do I need to match the part number exactly?
This BCM and service are compatible with all part numbers listed in the description (13584695, 13586273, 13580697, etc.). As long as your original module’s part number is on our list, this is the correct solution for you.
Will this fix my car’s specific electrical problem?
This BCM will resolve any issue directly caused by a faulty Body Control Module. While the symptoms listed are very common indicators, we always recommend a proper diagnosis by a qualified technician to confirm the BCM is the source of the problem before ordering.
