Restore Full Electronic Functionality to Your Vehicle
Are you battling frustrating and unpredictable electrical problems in your vehicle? Issues like flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, a non-responsive key fob, or random warning lights on your dash are often symptoms of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM acts as the central command center for your car’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can create a cascade of confusing issues. This listing offers a straightforward, reliable solution: a replacement BCM, part number 13594692, that is professionally programmed using the data from your original unit.

From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2015 Silverado in the shop that was driving the owner crazy. The radio would turn on and off by itself, the dome lights would stay on, and occasionally the truck wouldn’t start, showing a ‘Service Theft Deterrent System’ message. The owner had already replaced the battery and checked all the fuses. After running diagnostics, we traced the network communication errors back to the BCM. Instead of a costly new module and hours of programming at the dealer, we performed our cloning service. The customer sent us his faulty BCM, we transferred the data to a replacement unit, and sent it back. He installed it in 20 minutes, and every single electrical gremlin was gone. It’s a testament to how a targeted repair can save hundreds of dollars and immense frustration.
Common Symptoms of a Failing 2014-2017 SS Caprice BCM
A faulty Body Control Module can manifest in numerous ways. If you’re experiencing any of the following, your BCM is the likely culprit:
- ✔ Power windows, door locks, or mirrors operating erratically or not at all.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights (headlights, taillights, dome lights) staying on or not turning on.
- ✔ The vehicle’s security system malfunctioning, causing false alarms or preventing the car from starting.
- ✔ Keyless entry remote (fob) not working consistently.
- ✔ Wipers or horn activating unexpectedly.
- ✔ Warning lights for ABS, Airbag, or Traction Control appearing on the dashboard.
- ✔ Rapid battery drain when the vehicle is off.
Installation and Post-Install Procedures
Once you receive your programmed BCM, installation is straightforward. Simply disconnect the battery, locate your old BCM (typically under the steering column or in the driver’s side kick panel), and swap it with the new one. Reconnect the battery, and you’re ready to go. However, in some cases, minor follow-up procedures may be needed:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a professional scan tool must be used to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On certain models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration might be necessary to ensure proper brake light and traction control functionality.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician if you are unsure about any part of the installation process.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a BCM and what does it do?
The Body Control Module (BCM) is a computer in your vehicle that controls and monitors a wide range of electronic accessories not related to the engine, such as power windows, locks, lights, wipers, security system, and keyless entry.
How does this programming service work?
You purchase the service and ship your original BCM to us. We extract its unique data and transfer it to a replacement BCM. We then ship the programmed replacement back to you, ready for a simple, plug-and-play installation.
Will I need to program this module at the dealership?
No. Our cloning service makes this module fully plug-and-play. All the necessary programming and key information from your old unit is transferred over, so you can avoid a trip to the dealer.
Is there a core charge for this part?
No, there is no core charge. We use your original module for data transfer only. You do not need to send it back after you receive the replacement.
What happens if my airbag light is on after installation?
If the airbag light appears, it means the BCM needs to be synchronized with the airbag system’s computer (SDM). This requires a professional scan tool to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure, which is a quick task for any qualified repair shop.
