Is Your GM Vehicle Experiencing Strange Electrical Problems?
If your 2013 Buick Regal, Chevy Cruze, Equinox, or another compatible GM model is suddenly acting possessed, you’re not alone. Erratic interior lights, power windows and locks with a mind of their own, a security system that won’t cooperate, or even a frustrating no-start condition can often be traced back to a single, critical component: the Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central nervous system for your vehicle’s body electronics, managing everything from your turn signals and wipers to keyless entry and interior climate controls. When it fails, it can create a cascade of confusing and disruptive issues.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Intermittent or non-functional power windows, door locks, or mirrors.
- ✔ Dashboard warning lights appearing randomly or staying on constantly.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights flickering, staying on, or not working at all.
- ✔ The security system acting up, causing alarm issues or preventing the car from starting.
- ✔ Key fob not being recognized or working inconsistently.
- ✔ Wipers or turn signals operating erratically or not at all.
- ✔ A complete no-start condition where the engine won’t even crank.
The Simple, Dealer-Free Solution: Mail-In Programming Service
Replacing a BCM isn’t as simple as swapping out a fuse. A new module from the dealership requires expensive and complex programming to sync it with your vehicle’s specific VIN, security information, and optional features. This process often requires multiple appointments and specialized tools, leading to high costs and vehicle downtime. Our mail-in programming service eliminates this hassle entirely. We transfer the exact data from your original BCM directly onto a replacement unit. The result is a true plug-and-play module, ready for installation right out of the box, with no additional programming required.

Expert Pro Tip
Before condemning your BCM, always check the basics first. A weak or failing battery can cause a host of electrical gremlins that mimic BCM failure. Ensure your battery has a full charge and that the terminals are clean and tight. This simple check can save you significant time and money in diagnostics.

Installation and Post-Installation Notes
Installation is straightforward: simply disconnect the battery, remove your old BCM, and install the programmed one we send you. In most cases, no further action is needed. However, please be aware of the following potential procedures:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is on after installation, a professional scan tool is needed to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. This syncs the airbag system with the BCM.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration might be necessary to ensure correct brake light and traction control operation.
Disclaimer: Specific procedures can vary by vehicle. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance.
