Restore Full Electrical Function to Your Camaro
Are you battling frustrating electrical gremlins in your 2014-2015 Chevrolet Camaro? Intermittent power windows, flickering dash lights, malfunctioning door locks, or even a no-start condition can often be traced back to a single point of failure: the Body Control Module (BCM). As the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics, a failing BCM can cause a cascade of confusing and seemingly unrelated problems. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it can affect your vehicle’s security and safety systems. We offer a reliable, cost-effective solution that gets you back on the road without the exorbitant costs and scheduling headaches of a dealership visit.
A Technician’s Notebook: The Ghost in the Machine
I remember a 2015 Camaro Convertible that came into the shop with a laundry list of bizarre issues. The radio would randomly change stations, the driver’s side window wouldn’t drop for the convertible top, and the security light would stay on, sometimes preventing it from starting. The owner had already replaced the battery and checked fuses, getting nowhere. After hooking up the scan tool, I saw multiple U-codes (communication errors) pointing to a network problem. Instead of chasing each individual symptom, experience pointed me straight to the BCM. A faulty BCM can disrupt the entire data network, making other modules act erratically. By providing a properly programmed replacement, we resolved all the issues in one shot, saving the customer hundreds in diagnostic fees and unnecessary parts.
How Our Simple Mail-In Programming Service Works
Forget about towing your car to the dealer and waiting for expensive programming. Our service is designed to be simple and efficient. After you purchase, we will contact you with clear instructions to ship your original BCM to our facility. Once we receive it, our expert technicians will transfer all the critical data—including VIN, mileage, and key programming—to this replacement module. We then ship the fully programmed, plug-and-play unit back to you. This process ensures a seamless installation, restoring your car’s functions precisely as the factory intended.
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 the likely solution for your 2014-2015 Camaro BCM issues:
- ✔ Power windows, door locks, or mirrors operating erratically or not at all.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights (headlights, dome lights) staying on or not turning on.
- ✔ The security system light is illuminated, and the engine won’t start.
- ✔ The horn honks unexpectedly or doesn’t work.
- ✔ Multiple, unrelated warning lights on the dashboard (ABS, Airbag, Traction Control).
- ✔ Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) related to communication errors, such as U0140, U0155, or other U-codes.
Your Straightforward Installation Guide
Once you receive your programmed module, installation is straightforward. In most 2014-2015 Camaros, the BCM is located behind the right-hand side of the dashboard.
- Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery before beginning any electrical work.
- Access the Module: You will likely need to remove the glove box or a lower dash panel to gain access to the BCM. It is typically a black plastic box with several large electrical connectors.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug all wiring harnesses from the old BCM. Note their orientation. Then, 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 the wiring harnesses.
- Reconnect Power: Reconnect the negative battery terminal.
- Verify Function: Start the vehicle and test all body functions—windows, locks, lights, radio, etc.—to confirm the repair is successful.
Important Post-Installation Notes
While our programming makes this a plug-and-play repair, some GM vehicles may require a simple relearn procedure for specific systems to sync with the new BCM. These do not occur in all cases.
- Airbag System Sync: If your 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 new BCM.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor relearn may be required to ensure correct brake light and traction control operation.
Disclaimer: Vehicle systems vary. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician if you are unsure about any step.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the turnaround time for the programming service?
We program and ship your replacement BCM within 1-2 business days of receiving your original module. We will send you tracking information as soon as it ships.
Do I need to send my keys with the module?
No, you do not need to send us your keys. All the necessary security information is stored within your original BCM, which we transfer directly to the replacement unit.
Is this a guaranteed fix for my car’s electrical problems?
This programmed 2014-2015 Camaro BCM will resolve any issues directly caused by a faulty Body Control Module. If your vehicle has other underlying problems, such as bad wiring or a faulty sensor, those will need to be addressed separately.
What if my original BCM is completely dead or cannot be read?
In most cases, even with significant internal failure, we can still extract the necessary data. If we encounter a rare case where the data is completely unrecoverable, we will contact you immediately to discuss options.
Is there a core charge?
No, there is no core charge for this service. You can keep your original module after you receive the programmed replacement.
