Restore Full Functionality to Your GM Vehicle
Is your 2014-2017 Buick Regal or other compatible GM vehicle acting possessed? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, a dead instrument cluster, or a frustrating no-start condition are all classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central nervous system for your car’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can cause a cascade of confusing and inconvenient problems. Dealerships will quote you a fortune for a new module plus mandatory programming fees. We offer a smarter, more affordable solution.
This is a comprehensive programming service for a replacement BCM. You simply purchase this listing, and we’ll contact you with instructions to send us your original module. Our expert technicians will then transfer all the critical data—including your vehicle’s VIN, security information, and specific options—to this replacement unit. We then ship the fully programmed module back to you, ready for installation. This process eliminates the need for any dealer intervention, saving you significant time and money.
From the Diagnostic Bay: The Case of the Erratic Regal
A customer brought in a 2015 Regal that was a diagnostic nightmare for other shops. The dash lights would flicker randomly, the radio would cut out, and sometimes it just wouldn’t start. There were no consistent trouble codes, just a slew of communication errors (U-codes) that would come and go. After checking the main power and ground circuits, we focused on the BCM. Upon removal, we found tell-tale signs of water intrusion on the back of the connector pins—a common issue on these platforms. The moisture had caused microscopic corrosion on the circuit board, leading to intermittent failures. A replacement 2014-2017 Regal Body Control Module with our cloning service got the car back to perfect working order without a single trip to the dealer.
Common Signs of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional interior/exterior lights.
- ✔ Power windows, door locks, or mirrors working intermittently or not at all.
- ✔ Instrument cluster gauges behaving strangely or going dark.
- ✔ Vehicle security system faults or key fob recognition issues.
- ✔ A no-start or no-crank condition even with a good battery.
- ✔ Communication-related Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs), such as U0100, U0140, or other U-series codes.
- ✔ Malfunctioning climate control system.

Important Post-Installation Notes
While our programming makes this a near plug-and-play repair, some vehicle systems may require a ‘handshake’ with the new BCM. Please be aware of the following potential procedures:
- 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. This is only required if the light appears.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration might be needed to ensure correct brake light and traction control operation.
Disclaimer: We always recommend consulting a factory service manual or a certified technician if you are unsure about any part of the process.
