Restore Your Vehicle’s Sophisticated Electronics with a Hassle-Free Solution
Are you experiencing a cascade of frustrating electrical problems in your Cadillac or GM vehicle? Issues like erratic interior lights, unresponsive power windows and locks, false security alerts, or even a car that refuses to start can often be traced back to a failing Body Control Module (BCM). This isn’t just an inconvenience; it compromises your vehicle’s comfort, security, and reliability. We offer a definitive, streamlined solution: a replacement BCM, professionally programmed with your vehicle’s original data, making the repair process as simple as possible.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A faulty BCM can turn your driving experience into a guessing game. If you’re noticing any of the following, a failing module is the likely culprit:
- Power windows, door locks, or mirrors working intermittently or not at all.
- Interior or exterior lights staying on, flickering, or not turning on.
- The vehicle’s security system engaging randomly or preventing the car from starting.
- Warning lights appearing on the dash with no apparent cause.
- Communication errors with other vehicle modules (DTCs like U0140).
Our service directly addresses this by providing a fully programmed 13586589 BCM. We handle the complex part—the programming—so you don’t have to. By cloning the information from your original BCM, we ensure the replacement unit is a perfect digital match for your car, preserving all its specific settings and security credentials.

Expert Insight: Why Cloning is the Smart Choice
Many people consider buying a used BCM from a salvage yard, only to discover it won’t work. That’s because a BCM is not just a simple component; it’s the electronic brain for your car’s body features and is coded specifically to your vehicle’s VIN and security system. A mismatched BCM will cause a no-start condition or a host of other conflicts. Our cloning service transfers this critical ‘digital DNA’ from your old module to the replacement. This makes the installation process straightforward and is the most reliable method to ensure every feature works exactly as it did from the factory.
Installation & Post-Install Notes
After installing your programmed 13586589 BCM, some vehicles may require a simple relearn procedure for certain systems to fully sync. This is standard and can typically be performed with a high-level diagnostic scan tool.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is on after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure may be needed to sync the systems.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: A recalibration of the brake pedal position sensor might be necessary for proper brake light and traction control function.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician if you are unsure about any part of the installation process. We’ve done the programming, making the physical swap your primary task.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does this mail-in programming service work?
It’s simple. Once you complete your purchase, we will contact you with instructions to ship your original BCM to our facility. When we receive it, our technicians will extract the unique data and transfer it to a replacement module. We then ship the newly programmed BCM back to you, typically within 1-2 business days of receiving your original.
Is this a plug-and-play BCM?
For the most part, yes. Because we clone your vehicle’s original data, the need for dealer-level programming is eliminated. However, as noted, some subsystems like the airbag or brake pedal sensor may require a ‘relearn’ procedure with a scan tool to fully synchronize with the new BCM after installation.
What if my original BCM is completely dead or not communicating?
In many cases, even if the BCM is failing, we can still extract the necessary data. If your module is severely damaged (e.g., by fire or water), please contact us before purchasing to discuss options. We have advanced tools to recover data from most non-communicating modules.
Will this programmed 13586589 BCM fix all of my car’s electrical problems?
This module will resolve all issues directly caused by a faulty BCM. If your vehicle has other underlying problems, such as a bad sensor or wiring short, those will need to be diagnosed and repaired separately. A proper diagnosis is key before ordering.
What happens after I place my order?
After you place your order, we will contact you via the information on your account to arrange the mail-in service for your original BCM. Please ensure your contact details are up-to-date to avoid any delays.
