When systems like power windows, door locks, interior lights, or even the ignition start acting erratically, a failing Body Control Module (BCM) is often the culprit.

Expert Insight: Why Cloning 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 is locked to the donor vehicle’s VIN and security system. Installing it will trigger the anti-theft system, preventing your car from starting. It then still requires special tools to be reprogrammed by a dealer, erasing any initial cost savings. Our cloning service bypasses this entire ordeal. We make the replacement BCM an exact electronic duplicate of your original, guaranteeing it works with your keys and systems perfectly from the moment you plug it in. It’s the safest and most reliable method for this repair.
By choosing this service, you’re not just buying a part; you’re buying a complete solution. We make the process of replacing and programming your BCM as simple as possible. This high-quality 2013-2017 Equinox programmed BCM is your direct path to resolving those persistent electrical issues and restoring your confidence in your vehicle’s reliability.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the mail-in cloning service work?
It’s simple. After you place your order, we will contact you with instructions to securely ship your original BCM to our facility. Once we receive it, our technicians will extract the necessary data and program the replacement module. We then ship the plug-and-play BCM back to you, typically within 1-2 business days of receiving your original part.
Will this BCM be truly plug-and-play?
Yes. Because we are cloning the data from your original module, the replacement BCM will be an exact match for your vehicle’s configuration. This means no additional programming or dealer visits are required for the module itself. Just install it, and you’re ready to go.
What if my original BCM is not communicating?
In many cases, even if the BCM has failed, we can still extract the necessary data. Please contact us before ordering if your BCM is completely dead, water-damaged, or fire-damaged so we can discuss the specific situation and determine the likelihood of a successful data transfer.
Do I need to perform any procedures after installation?
In some cases, minor relearn procedures may be necessary. For example, if the airbag light is on, an ‘SDM Primary Key Setup’ may be needed. A ‘Brake Pedal Position Relearn’ might also be required on certain models. These are standard procedures that can be performed by most shops with a professional scan tool.
Which part numbers does this BCM replace?
This module is a direct replacement for a range of part numbers, including 13584695, 13586273, 13580697, 13588447, 13589197, 13589324, and 13589325. It fits a wide variety of 2013-2017 GM models.
