Restore Full Electrical Function to Your Vehicle
Is your Buick Regal, Chevy Cruze, or GMC Terrain plagued by bizarre electrical issues? Problems like malfunctioning power windows, a haywire security system, or dashboard lights that have a mind of their own often point to a single culprit: a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM acts as the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it malfunctions, it can make your car feel unreliable and frustrating to drive. This replacement BCM, part number 13580697, combined with our expert programming service, is the definitive solution to get your vehicle’s systems operating correctly again.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
A faulty Body Control Module can manifest in numerous ways. If you’re experiencing any of the following, it’s a strong indicator that your BCM needs attention:
- âś” Power windows, door locks, or mirrors working intermittently or not at all.
- âś” Interior dome lights or exterior lamps staying on or refusing to turn on.
- âś” The vehicle’s anti-theft or security system acting erratically, preventing the car from starting.
- âś” Keyless entry remote failing to lock or unlock the doors.
- âś” Unexplained warning lights illuminating on the instrument cluster.
- âś” Horn honking unexpectedly or not working when pressed.
- âś” Communication issues when trying to scan the vehicle with a diagnostic tool.

Post-Installation Procedures
After installing your newly programmed BCM, some vehicles may require one or more simple relearn procedures to synchronize all systems. These can often be performed with a high-end bidirectional scan tool.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ is necessary. This syncs the BCM with the airbag system’s Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM).
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: To ensure proper brake light operation and stability control function, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be required on some models.
Please note: Specific procedures can vary by vehicle. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the programming service work after I order?
After you place your order, we will contact you with detailed instructions and a shipping address. You will need to send your original BCM to us. Once we receive it, we transfer its data to the replacement module and ship the programmed unit back to you, typically within 1-2 business days.

Is this BCM truly plug-and-play?
Yes, because we clone your vehicle’s exact data, the module is ready for installation upon arrival. In some cases, as noted above, a simple ‘relearn’ procedure for the airbag or brake pedal position sensor may be required using a professional scan tool.
