Is Your Chevy Spark Plagued by Baffling Electrical Issues?
Dealing with unpredictable electrical problems can turn your dependable daily driver into a source of constant frustration. One moment your power windows work, the next they don’t. Strange warning lights appear on the dash without reason, or worse, your car refuses to start. These are classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM), the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics. Instead of facing a costly and complicated trip to the dealership, we offer a straightforward, reliable solution to get your Spark back in perfect working order.
Common BCM Failure Symptoms & Your Solution
A faulty BCM can manifest in numerous ways, often seeming unrelated. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this programmed module is the definitive fix you need:
- Intermittent or non-functional power windows, door locks, and interior lights.
- Erratic instrument cluster behavior or warning lights (like the security or airbag light) staying on.
- Problems with the radio, climate control, or windshield wipers.
- A no-start condition where the engine cranks but won’t turn over due to a security system fault.
- Diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) related to communication errors (U-codes) with other modules.
Our professional programming service makes this a simple, direct-fit replacement. We transfer the unique data from your original BCMโincluding the VIN, mileage, and security informationโdirectly onto this replacement unit. This means the 2014-2015 Spark BCM 13580697 you receive is synchronized to your vehicle, eliminating the need for expensive dealer-only programming tools.

An Expert’s Take: Why Our Cloning Service is the Smart Choice
As a technician with over two decades of experience, I’ve seen countless drivers struggle with module replacement. Buying a used BCM from a junkyard seems cheap, but it’s a gamble; it won’t have your car’s specific data and will cause immediate conflicts. A new BCM from the dealer solves this but requires expensive, specialized tools to program it to your vehicle. Our cloning service is the perfect middle ground. We provide the precision of dealer-level programming with the value and convenience you need. This is the same method savvy independent shops use to guarantee a successful, hassle-free repair for their customers. By choosing our service for your 2014-2015 Spark BCM 13580697, you’re getting a professional-grade solution.
Post-Installation Checks
While this module is designed for a simple installation, some GM vehicles may require a final sync procedure for specific systems. Please be aware of the following:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is on after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure must be performed with a professional scan tool.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a recalibration of the brake pedal position sensor may be needed to ensure correct brake light and traction control operation.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does this programming service work?
It’s simple. After you place your order, we will contact you with instructions to ship your original BCM to our facility. Once we receive it, our technicians will clone all the necessary data to the replacement module and ship it back to you, typically within 1-2 business days. You’ll receive tracking information as soon as it’s on its way.
Is this BCM truly “plug and play”?
Yes, in the vast majority of cases. Because we’ve programmed it with your car’s specific data, it will control the main functions right out of the box. However, as noted above, certain safety systems like the airbag or brake sensor may require a simple relearn procedure with a scan tool if a warning light appears.
What happens if I don’t send in my original BCM?
This service cannot be completed without your original module. The data contained within it is essential for programming the replacement unit to work with your specific vehicle. The order is for the service of cloning your data onto our replacement part.
Will this fix my specific problem?
This module will resolve any issues directly caused by a failing BCM. The symptoms listed above are the most common indicators. However, we always recommend a proper diagnosis by a qualified mechanic to confirm the BCM is the root cause before ordering, as other issues can sometimes mimic BCM failure.
How long does the entire process take?
The total time depends on shipping. Once we receive your module, our service takes 1-2 business days. We then ship the programmed replacement back to you. We recommend using a tracked shipping service when sending your module to us.
Do I need to return my old part after installation?
No. There is no core charge for this item. You can keep your original module after our programming service is complete.
