Restore Full Electrical Function to Your Vehicle
Are you battling frustrating and unpredictable electrical problems in your Buick Regal, LaCrosse, or other compatible GM vehicle? Issues like flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, a dead instrument cluster, or a car that refuses to start can often be traced back to a single component: a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM acts as the central command center for your car’s body electronics. When it fails, it can create a cascade of baffling symptoms that are difficult to diagnose. This listing offers a reliable and straightforward solution: a replacement Body Control Module, part number 13594564, that is professionally programmed with your vehicle’s original data.
Is Your Vehicle Experiencing These BCM Failure Symptoms?
A faulty BCM can manifest in numerous ways. If you’re noticing any of the following issues, it’s a strong indicator that your Body Control Module may need replacement:
- ā Intermittent or non-functional power windows, door locks, or mirrors.
- ā Interior or exterior lights that flicker, stay on, or don’t work at all.
- ā The security system or anti-theft light is always on or flashing, preventing the car from starting.
- ā Erratic behavior from the dashboard gauges or instrument cluster.
- ā The key fob or remote entry system works unreliably or has stopped working.
- ā Unexplained battery drain that leaves you with a dead battery.
- ā Diagnostic trouble codes related to communication errors (U-codes) with other modules.
We recently had a 2015 Buick Regal come into the shop with a classic “electrical gremlin” case. The owner reported that the horn would randomly go off, the interior lights would flicker while driving, and sometimes the car wouldn’t recognize the key fob. Another shop had already replaced the battery and alternator to no avail. After hooking up our diagnostic scanner, we found multiple communication loss codes pointing to the BCM. A visual inspection revealed evidence of water intrusion near the LH dash where the BCM is located, a common failure point. By providing a programmed 2014-2017 Regal Body Control Module using the customer’s original data, we were able to solve all the issues in one go. The customer was thrilled to have their car back to normal without a costly trip to the dealership.
The Simple, Plug-and-Play Solution: Our Cloning Service
Dealerships will often charge a premium for a new BCM, plus additional fees for programming it to your vehicle. Our service eliminates that hassle and expense. We perform a direct data transfer, or ‘cloning’, from your original BCM to this replacement unit. This process copies all the critical vehicle-specific information, including the VIN, mileage, security settings, and key fob data. The result is a true plug-and-play module that is ready for installation right out of the box, with no further programming required.

Important Post-Installation Procedures
While our programming service makes this a plug-and-play installation, certain vehicle systems may require a recalibration or sync procedure after the BCM is reconnected. These are standard procedures that can be performed with a professional-grade scan tool.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure must be performed to sync the airbag system with the new BCM. This is only required if the light is on.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: A brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be necessary on some models to ensure correct brake light operation and to prevent issues with the traction control system.
Disclaimer: Specific procedures can vary by vehicle. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance.
Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does the Body Control Module do?
The BCM is a computer that manages most of your vehicle’s non-engine related electronic functions. This includes power windows, locks, interior and exterior lighting, the security system, keyless entry, and communication between various electronic modules.
Why do I have to send you my original module?
Your original BCM contains unique data essential for your car to function, including the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and security information for your keys. By cloning this data, we create a replacement module that is a perfect electronic match for your car, eliminating the need for expensive dealership programming.
Is this BCM truly plug-and-play?
Yes, in 99% of cases. Because we transfer all your original data, the vehicle will recognize the module as its own. In some rare instances, a simple relearn procedure, like for the brake pedal position sensor, may be needed, which can be done with a standard diagnostic tool.
How long does the entire process take?
Once we receive your original module, the programming service typically takes 1-2 business days. The total time will depend on shipping times to and from our facility. We will provide you with a tracking number as soon as your new module is on its way back to you.
Will my existing keys and remotes work?
Absolutely. Since we are cloning the data from your original module, all key and remote information is transferred over. Your existing keys and fobs will work immediately upon installation, with no reprogramming needed.
