Is Your Car Acting Possessed? Get Back in Control.
Are you dealing with bizarre electrical issues in your Chevy Spark, Equinox, or other GM vehicle? Flickering dashboard lights, power windows that have a mind of their own, a security system that won’t cooperate, or a car that refuses to start are all classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). These problems are more than just an annoyance; they can compromise your vehicle’s safety and reliability. Instead of facing a costly and time-consuming trip to the dealership, we offer a straightforward, reliable solution that gets you back on the road fast.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
If you’re experiencing any of the following, a faulty BCM is the likely culprit:
- Intermittent or non-functional power windows, door locks, or interior lights
- Erratic instrument cluster behavior or warning lights (like the security light) staying on
- Key fob not working correctly
- Engine starting problems or stalling
- Communication errors with other vehicle modules (DTCs like U0140)
This professionally prepared BCM is the definitive fix. We take a quality, tested replacement unit and flash it with the exact data from your original module. This cloning process makes our programmed 2013 Chevy Spark BCM 13583542 a true plug-and-play solution, eliminating the need for expensive dealership-only programming tools.

Expert Insight: The Cloning Advantage
Many owners get stuck in a loop when a BCM fails. A new module from the dealer requires expensive programming. A used one from a junkyard won’t work because it’s coded to another car. Our cloning service is the perfect middle ground. We provide the reliability of a fully tested module with the simplicity of installing your original part. By perfectly mirroring your car’s software, we eliminate the electronic ‘handshake’ issues that plague other replacement options. This is the smartest, most efficient way to solve complex BCM problems.
The process is simple: after your purchase, we will provide instructions for you to ship your original BCM to us. Once we receive it, our technicians will perform the data transfer to the replacement unit and ship it back to you promptly, typically within one business day. Your purchase of this programmed 2013 Chevy Spark BCM 13583542 is the first step to resolving those frustrating electrical gremlins for good.
Please note: In some cases after installation, procedures like an ‘Airbag System Sync’ or ‘Brake Pedal Position Relearn’ may be necessary if specific warning lights appear. This can be performed with a professional scan tool. The need for these relearns varies by the specific vehicle and its options. This is a small final step to ensure every system in your vehicle communicates perfectly with the new programmed 2013 Chevy Spark BCM 13583542.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the cloning service work?
After you place your order, we will contact you with secure, insured shipping instructions to send your original BCM to our facility. Once it arrives, we extract the unique data and program it onto the replacement module. We then ship the ready-to-install BCM back to you.
Is this really “plug and play”?
Yes. Because we transfer all the vehicle-specific programming, including VIN and security information, the replacement module will work immediately upon installation without any need for a trip to the dealer for programming.
What if my original BCM is badly damaged or not communicating?
In most cases, even if the BCM has failed, we can still extract the necessary data. If your module is severely damaged (e.g., from fire or water), please contact us before ordering to discuss options.
Will I need to have my keys reprogrammed?
No. Since we clone the security data from your original BCM, the replacement module will recognize your existing keys just like the original did.
What tools are needed for the installation?
Installation typically requires only basic hand tools, such as a socket set and screwdrivers, to access the BCM’s location (usually in the dash or kick panel area). Always disconnect the battery before beginning work.
Which part numbers does this BCM replace?
This module is a direct, programmed replacement for part numbers 13580696, 123589093, 13588446, 13584692, and 13583542, among others. If your part number is listed, this is the correct solution for you.
