End Frustrating Electrical Problems and Get Your Vehicle Back to Normal
Are you dealing with bizarre and unpredictable issues in your Chevy Equinox, GMC Terrain, or other GM vehicle? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, a dead instrument cluster, or a car that refuses to start can all point to a single culprit: a failing Body Control Module (BCM). These problems can be more than just an annoyance; they can compromise your vehicle’s safety and reliability. Instead of facing a costly and complicated trip to the dealership, our mail-in BCM programming service offers a simple, effective, and affordable solution to get you back on the road with confidence. We provide a fully functional, data-cloned Programmed 2013-2017 Equinox Body Control Module, making the repair process as straightforward as possible.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A faulty BCM can create a cascade of electrical gremlins that are often difficult to diagnose. If you’re experiencing any of the following, there’s a high probability your BCM is the root cause:
- Interior or exterior lights not working correctly (staying on or not turning on)
- Power windows, locks, or mirrors behaving erratically
- Warning lights appearing on the dashboard for no reason
- Vehicle security system issues or key fob problems
- Intermittent no-start or no-crank conditions
- Communication error codes (U-codes) stored in the system
Our professional programming service is the definitive fix for these issues. We take the essential data from your original BCM—including the VIN, mileage, and specific options for your vehicle—and transfer it directly onto a replacement unit. The result is a module that is a perfect electronic match for your car, ready for installation right out of the box.

Expert Insight: Why Cloning is the Smart Choice
Many people consider buying a used BCM from a salvage yard to save money. However, this often leads to more problems. A used BCM is electronically locked to the VIN of its original vehicle. When installed in your car, it won’t be able to communicate with the engine computer, transmission module, or other key systems, rendering your vehicle inoperable. The only way to make it work is to have a dealership attempt a full reprogramming, which can be expensive and isn’t always successful. Our cloning service for your Programmed 2013-2017 Equinox Body Control Module completely bypasses this entire problem, providing a reliable and hassle-free repair.

Post-Installation Requirements
After installing the BCM, some vehicles may require one or more of the following procedures to ensure all systems function correctly. These can typically be performed by a qualified mechanic with a professional-grade scan tool.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is on, the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure is necessary to sync the systems.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: A recalibration of the brake pedal position sensor may be needed for proper brake light and traction control operation.
- Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for vehicle-specific guidance.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does this mail-in programming service work?
After you place your order, we will contact you with instructions to ship your original BCM to us. Once we receive it, we extract the unique data and transfer it to a replacement BCM. We then ship the newly programmed module back to you, ready for installation.
Do I need to do any programming myself?
No. The entire point of our service is to handle the programming for you. The module you receive will be a direct clone of your original, eliminating the need for expensive tools or a trip to the dealer.
What are the most common signs of a bad BCM?
Common symptoms include erratic behavior of lights, power locks, and windows; false warning lights on the dash; key fob malfunctions; and in some cases, a no-start condition where the engine won’t crank.
How long does the process take?
We prioritize a quick turnaround. The programming service is typically completed within 1-2 business days of us receiving your original module. Shipping times will vary based on your location and chosen shipping method.
What if the airbag light comes on after I install it?
This is a known possibility. A professional scan tool is required to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure, which syncs the airbag system with the new BCM and turns off the light. Any qualified repair shop can perform this for you.
Will this fit models other than the Equinox?
Yes, this BCM and our programming service are compatible with a wide range of GM vehicles, including the GMC Terrain, Chevy Cruze, Malibu, Buick Regal, Cadillac SRX, and more. Please check the fitment list on this page to confirm compatibility with your specific vehicle.
