Restore Your Vehicle’s Electrical System with a Plug-and-Play Solution
Are you dealing with frustrating and unpredictable electrical problems in your Chevrolet or GMC vehicle? Issues like flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, a security system that acts up, or even a car that refuses to start can often be traced back to a failing Body Control Module (BCM). Instead of facing a costly and complicated trip to the dealership, our pre-programmed BCM provides a reliable, straightforward fix to get you back on the road with confidence. This is the ideal 2013-2017 Equinox BCM replacement for owners who demand a dependable repair without the hassle.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A faulty BCM can cause a wide range of confusing symptoms that disrupt your vehicle’s operation. If you’re experiencing any of the following, a failing BCM is the likely culprit:
- Interior or exterior lights staying on or not working at all.
- Power windows, locks, or mirrors behaving erratically.
- The security system preventing the vehicle from starting.
- Warning lights appearing on the dash with no clear cause.
- Communication error codes (U-codes) stored in the system.

Expert Insight: The Power of Cloning
Many people assume a new BCM from the dealer is the best option, but it arrives as a blank slate. It requires a specialized, dealer-level scan tool to be programmed from scratch, a process that can be complex and time-consuming. Our cloning service bypasses this entirely. We extract the unique ‘DNA’ from your original BCMโthe very data that makes your car *your* carโand flash it onto the replacement unit. This makes our 2013-2017 Equinox BCM replacement a far more efficient and reliable repair method, especially for DIY mechanics and independent shops.
Post-Installation Checks
In some cases, specific vehicle systems may require a relearn procedure after the BCM is installed. These are simple procedures that can be performed with a compatible high-level scan tool:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is on, the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure will be needed to sync the systems.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: A brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be necessary to ensure proper brake light and traction control function.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician if you are unsure about these procedures. Finding the right 2013-2017 Equinox BCM replacement is the first step, and ensuring a complete installation is key to a lasting repair.
