Are you chasing electrical gremlins in your 2014-2015 Chevrolet Camaro? One minute the power windows work, the next they don’t. Maybe your interior lights have a mind of their own, or you’re seeing bizarre warning messages on the dash. Before you spend a fortune on diagnostic time and dealer-only parts, the root cause is likely a failing Body Control Module (BCM). As the central nervous system for your vehicle’s comfort and convenience features, a faulty BCM can create a cascade of confusing and frustrating problems.
This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a complete, hassle-free solution. We provide a fully tested BCM that is programmed by cloning the data from your original module. This means no expensive trips to the dealership for programming. You get a part that is truly plug-and-play, restoring full functionality to your vehicle quickly and affordably.
Case Study: A Tricky Diagnosis
A customer brought in a 2015 Camaro with a laundry list of complaints: the radio would randomly shut off, the driver’s side window was intermittent, and the key fob only worked when it felt like it. They had already replaced the battery and checked all the fuses. Diagnostics showed a dozen communication codes (U-codes) pointing in different directions. In my 20+ years of experience, this kind of widespread, non-specific electrical chaos almost always points back to one component: the BCM. We swapped in a cloned module, and every single issue vanished. It’s a perfect example of how this single module can be the key to solving what seems like a dozen different problems.
Is Your Camaro Showing These Symptoms?
A failing BCM can manifest in many ways. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is your likely solution:
- ✔ Intermittent or non-working power windows, door locks, or mirrors.
- ✔ Erratic interior or exterior lighting behavior.
- ✔ Key fob not being detected or working inconsistently.
- ✔ False warning lights on the instrument cluster (e.g., “Service Theft Deterrent System”).
- ✔ Radio or infotainment system randomly turning off or malfunctioning.
- ✔ Communication error codes, particularly U-codes, stored in the system.
- ✔ Inability for diagnostic tools to communicate with various other modules.
How Our Simple Cloning Service Works
We’ve streamlined this process to get you back on the road with minimal downtime:
- Place Your Order: Purchase this BCM listing. We will then contact you with clear instructions and a shipping address.
- Ship Your Original BCM: Carefully package and send us your vehicle’s original Body Control Module.
- We Handle the Tech: Upon arrival, our experts will extract the unique programming and vehicle-specific data from your old module and flash it onto your new, fully tested BCM.
- Receive Your Plug-and-Play Module: We ship your programmed BCM back to you, typically within 1-2 business days of receiving your original. You’ll get a tracking number so you know exactly when it’s coming.
Your Straightforward BCM Installation Guide
Installing your new 2014-2015 Camaro BCM is a manageable job for a DIYer. In the Camaro, the BCM is typically located behind the right side of the dashboard.
- Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery before working on any electronic components.
- Access the Module: You will likely need to remove the glove box or a lower dash panel on the passenger side to gain access to the BCM.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors from the old BCM. They have locking tabs that must be depressed. Once disconnected, unbolt or unclip the module from its mounting bracket.
- Install the New BCM: Mount your new, programmed BCM in the same location and securely reconnect all electrical connectors. Ensure they click into place.
- Reconnect and Test: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Turn the key to the ‘ON’ position and test all body functions—windows, locks, lights, radio, etc.—to confirm the repair.
Important Post-Installation Notes
While our cloning service makes this a plug-and-play repair, some GM systems require a ‘handshake’ after a new module is introduced.
- Airbag System Sync: If your 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.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor relearn may be required to ensure proper brake light and traction control operation. This also requires a compatible diagnostic tool.
Disclaimer: Vehicle systems can vary. We always recommend consulting a factory service manual or a qualified technician if you are unsure about any step.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to get this BCM programmed by a dealer?
No. The price of this module includes our expert cloning service. We transfer all the necessary data from your original BCM to this replacement unit, so it arrives at your door ready to be installed without any additional programming.
What exactly is a BCM cloning service?
Cloning is a process where we use specialized equipment to read the vehicle-specific software, security information (like key data), and option settings from your original BCM. We then write an exact copy of this data onto the replacement module, ensuring it works seamlessly with your car’s other electronic systems.
Is this a reliable fix for my 2014-2015 Camaro BCM issues?
Absolutely. We use high-quality, fully tested modules and a professional data transfer process. This service provides a durable and dependable solution to common BCM failures, restoring your vehicle’s electronic functions to factory specifications.
What happens if I don’t send in my original module?
This service cannot be completed without your original module. The data contained within it is essential for programming the replacement. The module we send you will not function in your vehicle without being cloned from your original.
Do I need to send my keys with the module?
No, you do not need to send your keys. All the necessary security information is stored within the BCM itself. Our cloning process transfers this data, so your existing keys will work perfectly with the new module upon installation.
Is there a core charge for this part?
No, there is no core charge. After we have cloned the data, you can keep your original module. We do not require it to be returned.
