Restore Your Cruze’s Electrical Functions and Get Back on the Road
Are you experiencing frustrating and unpredictable electrical issues with your Chevrolet Cruze, Equinox, or GMC Terrain? Flickering lights, unresponsive power windows, a malfunctioning key fob, or random warning lights on your dashboard are all classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM acts as the central nervous system for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it starts to fail, it can cause a cascade of confusing problems. Don’t let these electrical gremlins keep you guessing. This replacement BCM, programmed specifically for your vehicle, is the definitive solution to restore full functionality and peace of mind.
Is Your 2013 Cruze BCM Failing?
The Body Control Module manages a wide array of non-engine-related functions. Its failure can manifest in numerous ways, often starting as minor annoyances before becoming major problems. If you’re noticing any of the following symptoms, it’s highly likely that your BCM is the culprit.
Common Symptoms of a Bad Body Control Module
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional power windows, door locks, and mirrors.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights flickering, staying on, or not working at all.
- ✔ The key fob or remote entry system works intermittently or has stopped working.
- ✔ The vehicle’s security system or alarm activates randomly.
- ✔ The horn honks without input or doesn’t work when needed.
- ✔ Wipers operate on their own or won’t turn on/off.
- ✔ False warning lights appearing on the instrument cluster (e.g., airbag, ABS, traction control).
- ✔ Communication issues with diagnostic scan tools.
The Simple, Plug-and-Play Solution: Our Cloning Service
Forget about expensive dealership visits, towing fees, and the hassle of programming a new module from scratch. Our professional cloning service makes this repair straightforward and cost-effective. Here’s how it works: you purchase this BCM and ship your original, faulty module to us. Our technicians will extract the critical vehicle-specific data—including the VIN, key codes, and factory-installed options—and flash it directly onto this replacement unit. We then ship the fully programmed BCM back to you. The result is a true plug-and-play module. Simply install it, and your vehicle will recognize it as the original, restoring all functions without any additional programming required.
Installation and Post-Installation Checks
The BCM on the 2013 Chevrolet Cruze is typically located in the driver’s side kick panel area, making it accessible for replacement. Once the new, programmed module is installed, your vehicle should start and run with all primary functions restored. However, in some cases, a couple of simple relearn procedures may be necessary to fully sync all vehicle systems.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a professional scan tool is needed to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system’s Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM) and is only required if the light is on.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: To ensure proper brake light operation and traction control performance, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration might be necessary. This can also be performed with a compatible diagnostic tool.
Please note: Specific procedures can vary by vehicle. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a BCM cloning service?
Cloning is the process of reading the essential data (like VIN, mileage, and key information) from your original BCM and writing it onto a replacement module. This makes the replacement unit a perfect electronic match for your vehicle, eliminating the need for dealership programming.
Why is this better than buying a used BCM from a junkyard?
A standard used BCM will contain the data from the donor vehicle and will not work in your car without being reprogrammed by a dealer, which is costly. Our service provides you with a replacement BCM that is already programmed to your specific vehicle, making it a true plug-and-play solution.
How does the shipping process work?
After you place your order, we will contact you with detailed instructions for shipping your original BCM to our facility. Once we receive it, our technicians will perform the cloning service within 1-2 business days and ship the newly programmed replacement BCM back to you with tracking information.
What if my original BCM is too damaged to be read?
In most cases, even with significant electronic failure or water damage, we can still retrieve the necessary data. If for some reason your module’s data is completely unrecoverable, we will contact you to discuss other options and will provide a full refund if we cannot complete the service.
Do I need any special tools for installation?
Basic hand tools like a socket set and screwdrivers are typically all that’s needed to access and replace the BCM in the driver’s side kick panel. However, as mentioned, a professional diagnostic scan tool may be required for post-installation relearn procedures like the airbag sync or brake pedal position sensor calibration.
