Are you chasing down frustrating electrical gremlins in your 2014-2016 Chevrolet Malibu? Intermittent power windows, flickering lights, or strange warning messages on the dash are classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central nervous system for your vehicle’s comfort and convenience features, and when it starts to fail, it can cause a cascade of bizarre, hard-to-diagnose problems. Forget expensive dealership diagnostics and programming fees. This is the straightforward, reliable solution you’ve been looking for.
We offer a professional programming service for this replacement BCM, part number 13594564. The process is simple: you purchase this service, send us your original BCM, and we transfer all of its essential data—including VIN, mileage, and security information—to this fully tested replacement unit. We then ship the programmed module back to you, ready for a true plug-and-play installation. This eliminates the need for a trip to the dealer and the use of expensive scan tools for initial setup, saving you significant time and money.
From the Diagnostic Bay
I recently had a 2015 Malibu in the shop that was driving its owner crazy. The radio would turn off randomly, the dome light would stay on, and occasionally the turn signals wouldn’t work. The owner had already replaced the battery and checked all the fuses. After connecting my scan tool, I saw multiple U-codes, specifically a U0140 (Lost Communication With Body Control Module). This pointed directly to an internal BCM failure. Instead of a costly new module and hours of programming, we used this exact cloning service. The customer had the programmed part back in a few days, installed it in under 30 minutes, and every single electrical issue was resolved. It’s a testament to how effective this solution is for both professional shops and DIYers.
Is Your Malibu Experiencing These Glitches?
A failing BCM can manifest in numerous ways. If you’re noticing any of the following, this module is your likely solution:
- ✔ Power windows, locks, or mirrors operating erratically or not at all.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights flickering, staying on, or not turning on.
- ✔ The security system acting up or preventing the car from starting (anti-theft light on).
- ✔ Inaccurate gauge readings or warning lights on the instrument cluster.
- ✔ Diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) related to communication errors, such as U0140, U0155, or B1325.
- ✔ Remote keyless entry (fob) not working correctly.
Your Straightforward Installation Path
Installing your pre-programmed BCM is designed to be a simple swap. While the exact location can vary slightly, the process is generally the same.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery and wait a few minutes to ensure all systems are powered down.
- Locate the BCM: On most 2014-2016 Malibus, the BCM is located in the driver’s side footwell, behind the kick panel to the left of the pedals.
- Remove the Old Module: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors. They have locking tabs that need to be depressed. Once unplugged, unbolt or unclip the module from its mounting bracket.
- Install the New Module: Mount your pre-programmed BCM in the same location and securely reconnect all electrical connectors. You should hear a ‘click’ as they lock into place.
- Power Up: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Turn the key to the ‘ON’ position and test all functions (lights, windows, locks, etc.) before starting the engine.
