Restore Full Electrical Function to Your Vehicle
Are you battling frustrating and unpredictable electrical problems in your Chevrolet Cruze, GMC Terrain, or Buick Regal? Issues like flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, a dead instrument cluster, or a car that refuses to start are common signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can create a cascade of confusing symptoms. This listing offers a reliable and straightforward solution: a professionally programmed replacement BCM, cloned from your original unit to ensure a perfect, plug-and-play installation.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We recently had a 2013 Chevy Cruze towed in with a classic case of BCM failure. The owner reported that the turn signals would work one minute and not the next, the radio would randomly shut off, and the anti-theft light was constantly flashing, preventing the car from starting. After confirming power and grounds were good, our scan tool couldn’t even communicate with the BCM. Instead of a new module and an expensive programming session at the dealership, we used this exact cloning service. We shipped the original BCM, received the programmed replacement two days later, plugged it in, and every single electrical gremlin vanished. It’s the most efficient and cost-effective fix for these complex issues.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Intermittent or non-working power windows, door locks, and mirrors.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights staying on, flickering, or not turning on at all.
- ✔ Erratic behavior from the radio, climate control, or instrument cluster.
- ✔ The security or anti-theft system preventing the engine from starting.
- ✔ False warning lights appearing on the dashboard (e.g., ABS, Airbag, Traction Control).
- ✔ Inability for a diagnostic scan tool to communicate with the module.
- ✔ Unresponsive key fob or remote entry functions.

Understanding Your 2013 Cruze Body Control Module
The 2013 Cruze Body Control Module is more than just a fuse box; it’s a sophisticated computer that manages a vast network of components. It interprets inputs from switches (like your headlight or window switch) and sensors, and sends commands to activate relays and motors. Because it’s tied into the immobilizer system, simply swapping a BCM from another vehicle will result in a no-start condition. Our cloning service bypasses this critical issue by making the replacement module an exact electronic replica of your original, ensuring the car recognizes it and operates perfectly.
Post-Installation Procedures
While our BCM arrives ready for installation, some vehicle systems may require a simple synchronization procedure after the module is connected. This is a normal part of the process when a major electronic component is replaced.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure must be performed. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system’s Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM) and can be completed by a technician with a professional-grade diagnostic tool.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: In some cases, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be needed to ensure correct brake light operation and to satisfy the traction control system. This is also a quick procedure performed with a capable scan tool.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need to send in my original BCM?
Your original BCM contains critical, vehicle-specific data, including the VIN, immobilizer key codes, and settings for your car’s options. By cloning this data to the replacement unit, we make it 100% plug-and-play, avoiding the need for expensive dealership programming.
How long does the cloning service take?
The programming and cloning process is typically completed within 24-48 hours of us receiving your original module. We then ship the replacement unit back to you promptly.
Is this a repair service for my old module?
No, this is a data transfer service. We are not repairing your old, faulty module. We are programming a fully tested, quality replacement BCM with your car’s data and sending that unit to you. You can keep your original module.
What if my original BCM is completely dead or water damaged?
In most cases, even if the BCM is not communicating with the vehicle, we can still extract the necessary data directly from the board’s memory chip. If your module has severe physical damage (e.g., from fire or a collision), please contact us first to discuss options.
Will I need any special tools for installation?
Installation typically only requires basic hand tools to access the BCM, which is often located in the driver’s or passenger’s side kick panel or behind the glove box. No special programming tools are needed. However, a professional scan tool may be required for post-installation procedures like the airbag sync if the warning light appears.
