Tired of Chasing Electrical Gremlins in Your GM Vehicle?
As a technician with over two decades of diagnostic experience, I’ve seen firsthand how a failing Body Control Module (BCM) can turn a reliable vehicle into a source of constant frustration. One minute your power windows work, the next they don’t. The security light flashes for no reason, or worse, the car won’t start at all. If these chaotic electrical issues sound familiar, you’ve likely pinpointed the culprit: a faulty BCM. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a breakdown in your vehicle’s central nervous system. But the solution doesn’t have to involve expensive dealership visits and complex programming sessions.
We offer a straightforward and reliable solution: a replacement BCM with a professional cloning service. This is the ideal fix for both seasoned mechanics and DIY enthusiasts. Instead of towing your car to a dealer, you simply send us your original BCM. We then transfer all the critical, vehicle-specific data—including VIN, mileage, and security information—to this fully tested replacement module. The result? You receive a true plug-and-play component, ready for installation right out of the box. This process for your 2014 Corvette BCM eliminates the need for costly scan tools and programming subscriptions, getting you back on the road faster and with confidence.
A Technician’s Notebook: The Corvette with a Mind of Its Own
I remember a 2014 Corvette that came into the shop with a list of symptoms that seemed completely unrelated. The radio would randomly switch stations, the interior lights would flicker while driving, and occasionally the push-to-start button wouldn’t respond. The owner had already replaced the battery and checked all the fuses. After connecting my scan tool, I found a slew of ‘Lost Communication’ codes (U-codes) with various modules. This pointed directly to a BCM that was failing intermittently. Instead of a costly new module and hours of programming at the dealer, we used a cloned BCM. The customer mailed in their original module, we performed the data transfer, and shipped the replacement back. The installation was a simple swap, and every single electrical gremlin vanished. It’s a perfect example of how this service saves time, money, and diagnostic headaches.
Is Your Vehicle Showing These Symptoms?
- ✔ Power windows, locks, or mirrors operating erratically or not at all.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights flickering, staying on, or failing to turn on.
- ✔ The anti-theft or security system light is illuminated, preventing the engine from starting.
- ✔ Inconsistent or non-functional remote keyless entry.
- ✔ Multiple warning lights on the dashboard with no clear cause.
- ✔ Communication error codes, such as U0140, U0155, or other U-series codes, stored in the system.
- ✔ Wipers or horn activating unexpectedly.
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
- ✔ Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery before starting any electrical work. This prevents accidental shorts and protects the sensitive electronic modules.
- ✔ Locate the BCM: On the 2014 Corvette, the BCM is typically found in the driver’s side of the dashboard. On other compatible GM models, it’s often under the steering column or on the firewall. Consult a service manual for your specific vehicle if you’re unsure.
- ✔ Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug all electrical connectors from the old BCM. They have locking tabs that need to be depressed. Once disconnected, unbolt the module from its mounting bracket and remove it from the vehicle.
- ✔ Install the New Module: Mount your newly programmed BCM in the same location and securely fasten it. Reconnect all the electrical connectors, ensuring each one clicks firmly into place.
- ✔ Reconnect the Battery: Reattach the negative battery terminal.
- ✔ Test and Verify: Start the vehicle and test all body functions—lights, windows, locks, wipers, and radio—to confirm everything is working correctly. Address any potential post-installation procedures as noted below.
Important Post-Installation Information
While our cloning service makes this a nearly plug-and-play process for your 2014 Corvette BCM, some GM vehicles may require a final handshake between modules. If you encounter any of the following, a simple relearn procedure with a capable scan tool may be necessary:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is on after installation, a technician will need to perform the “Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM” procedure to sync the modules.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor relearn might be required to ensure correct brake light and traction control operation.
Disclaimer: Procedures can vary. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified professional for vehicle-specific guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the cloning service work?
After you place your order, we will provide you with instructions to ship your original BCM to us. We then use specialized equipment to extract the unique data from your module and flash it onto the replacement unit. This ensures all your vehicle’s options and security information are preserved. We then ship the ready-to-install module back to you.
Do I need to get this programmed by a dealer after I receive it?
No. The main benefit of our service is that the module arrives pre-programmed with your vehicle’s data. This completely eliminates the need for any additional programming by a dealer or mechanic, saving you hundreds of dollars.
What is the turnaround time?
We pride ourselves on a fast turnaround. Once we receive your original module, the cloning and shipping process typically takes 1-2 business days. We will send you a tracking number as soon as your new module is on its way back to you.
Do I need to send my original BCM if it’s completely dead?
In most cases, even if the BCM is failing, we can still retrieve the necessary data. If your module has severe physical damage (e.g., from fire or a major collision), please contact us first to discuss options.
Is there a core charge for my old part?
No, there is no core charge. We require your original module to perform the data transfer service, but you do not need to worry about any additional core fees.
