Restore Your Vehicle’s Electrical System with a Hassle-Free Solution
Are you battling bizarre and frustrating electrical problems in your GMC Terrain, Chevy Equinox, or other GM vehicle? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows and locks, or a dashboard that seems to have a mind of its own are all classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). These issues aren’t just annoying—they can compromise your vehicle’s safety and reliability. This listing offers a definitive, plug-and-play solution: a replacement BCM, professionally programmed with the data from your original unit, getting you back on the road without an expensive trip to the dealership.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A faulty BCM can cause a cascade of confusing problems. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this programmed module is the reliable fix you need:
- Intermittent or non-functional interior/exterior lights
- Power windows, door locks, or mirrors working erratically
- Instrument cluster gauges behaving strangely or not working at all
- Vehicle security system randomly activating
- A no-start condition where the engine cranks but won’t fire up
- Communication error codes (U-codes) stored in the system
Instead of paying for dealership diagnostics and programming fees, our service simplifies the entire process. We transfer all the critical information—including your vehicle’s VIN, mileage, and key data—from your old BCM to this replacement unit. The result is a fully compatible 2013-2017 GMC Terrain BCM that is ready for installation right out of the box.

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 BCM is like a lock from another house—it has the wrong keys. It won’t recognize your vehicle’s VIN or your programmed keys, resulting in a no-start condition and a car that’s completely immobilized. Our professional cloning service bypasses this entire nightmare. We essentially ‘re-key’ the replacement module with your car’s exact electronic signature, making it the only true plug-and-play solution outside of a dealership.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does this programming service work?
It’s a simple, mail-in process. After you purchase, we will provide instructions for shipping your original BCM to us. Once we receive it, our technicians will clone the data to the replacement module and ship it back to you, ready for installation. We will provide tracking information for the return shipment.
Is this BCM difficult to install?
The physical installation is straightforward for someone with basic mechanical skills. The BCM is typically located under the driver’s side dash. The main challenge is accessing it. Once installed, our programming ensures there are no complex computer procedures required. However, always disconnect the battery before starting work.
Will this fix my specific electrical problem?
This programmed 2013-2017 GMC Terrain BCM is the direct solution for issues originating from a faulty module. If you’re experiencing multiple, unrelated electrical symptoms like those listed above, a failing BCM is the most likely culprit.
What if my airbag light comes on after installation?
In some cases, the new BCM may need to be synced with the airbag system (SDM). This is a simple procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ that can be performed by any competent repair shop with a professional-grade scan tool. It is only necessary if the light appears after installation.
Do I need to send my keys with the module?
No, you do not need to send your keys. All the necessary security information is stored within your original BCM. We transfer this data directly, so the replacement module will recognize your existing keys perfectly.
Which vehicles is this 2013-2017 GMC Terrain BCM compatible with?
This module fits a wide range of GM vehicles, including the Chevy Equinox (13-17), Cruze (13-16), Malibu (13), Buick Verano (13-17), and many others, as detailed in the fitment list. The key is matching one of the compatible part numbers.
