Is Your GM Vehicle Plagued by Electrical Gremlins?
If you’re dealing with a frustrating array of electrical issues in your 2014-2015 Camaro, Malibu, LaCrosse, or other compatible GM model, a failing Body Control Module (BCM) is the most likely culprit. The BCM is the central nervous system for your vehicle’s body electronics, managing everything from your power windows and door locks to the interior lights and security system. When it starts to fail, it can create bizarre, intermittent problems that are difficult to diagnose and can even prevent your car from starting.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We recently had a 2015 Camaro SS in the shop with a classic case of BCM failure. The owner reported that sometimes the turn signals wouldn’t work, other times the radio would shut off randomly, and occasionally the car wouldn’t recognize the key fob. After hours of chasing wires, we confirmed the BCM was internally shorting. A new module from the dealer meant a tow, expensive parts, and several hours of programming fees. Instead, we used our cloning service. We transferred the data from his faulty BCM to one of our replacement units. He had his car back the next day, fully functional, for a fraction of the cost. This service is the go-to solution for this common problem.
Symptoms of a Failing Body Control Module
A faulty BCM can manifest in numerous ways. If you’re experiencing any of the following, it’s time to consider a replacement:
- ✔ Intermittent or non-functional power windows, door locks, or mirrors.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights (headlights, taillights, dome lights) staying on or not turning on at all.
- ✔ The security system acting erratically, causing alarm issues or no-start conditions.
- ✔ Erratic gauge cluster behavior or warning lights illuminating for no reason (like the airbag light).
- ✔ Key fobs not being recognized or remote start failing.
- ✔ Complete loss of power to various accessories.

Important Post-Installation Information
While our goal is a 100% plug-and-play experience, some vehicle systems may require a simple sync procedure after installation. Please be aware of the following possibilities:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure is needed. This syncs the airbag system with the new BCM and can be performed by any shop with a professional-grade diagnostic tool.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be necessary to ensure correct brake light operation and traction control function.
Specific procedures can vary by vehicle. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance.
