Restore Your Vehicle’s Electrical Functions with a Hassle-Free Solution
Are you battling bizarre electrical issues in your 2014 Corvette or another compatible GM vehicle? Flickering dashboard lights, power windows with a mind of their own, or intermittent warning messages can be incredibly frustrating. These aren’t just annoyances; they’re classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM acts as the central hub for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it malfunctions, it can create a cascade of confusing problems. Dealerships often quote astronomical prices for a replacement, followed by expensive programming fees and vehicle downtime. We offer a smarter, more efficient path forward.
This is a comprehensive programming service for a replacement BCM compatible with part number 13594768. The process is simple: you purchase this service, ship your original BCM to us, and we handle the rest. Our technicians will transfer all the critical data—including VIN, mileage, and key information—from your original module to this replacement unit. The result is a fully synchronized, plug-and-play BCM that arrives at your door ready for installation. You get to bypass the dealership, avoid programming headaches, and get your vehicle back to perfect working order quickly and affordably.
A Technician’s Notebook: The Corvette with a Ghost
A customer brought in a 2014 Corvette C7 with a list of complaints that sounded like the car was possessed. The interior lights would pulse randomly, the radio would shut off, and occasionally the security light would flash, preventing it from starting. He’d already replaced the battery, but the problems persisted. After hooking up my scan tool, I saw a storm of U-codes (communication errors) pointing to the BCM. Instead of a direct failure code, the BCM was intermittently dropping off the network, causing other modules to report errors. This is a common failure pattern I’ve seen dozens of times. By providing a cloned 2014 Corvette BCM, we restored stable communication between all modules, and all the ‘ghosts’ in his machine vanished instantly. It’s a textbook example of how a failing BCM can mimic multiple other problems.
Is Your GM Vehicle Showing These Symptoms?
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional interior and exterior lights (headlights, dome lights, dash lights).
- ✔ Power windows, door locks, or mirrors operating intermittently or not at all.
- ✔ The security system light is on, or the vehicle won’t start (anti-theft issue).
- ✔ Horn honking randomly or not working when pressed.
- ✔ Communication error codes (U-codes) stored, such as U0140, U0155, or U0164.
- ✔ False warnings appearing on the driver information center (e.g., “Service StabiliTrak,” “Service Airbag”).
Your Straightforward BCM Installation Guide
- ✔ Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery to prevent any electrical shorts.
- ✔ Locate the BCM: On the 2014 Corvette, the BCM is typically found in the driver’s side of the dashboard. On other GM models, it’s often under the steering column or on the firewall. Consult a service manual for your specific vehicle’s location.
- ✔ Remove the Original BCM: Carefully disconnect all electrical connectors. They have locking tabs that must be depressed to release them. Unbolt or unclip the module from its mounting bracket.
- ✔ Install the New BCM: Mount your new, pre-programmed BCM in the same location. Reconnect all electrical connectors, ensuring they click securely into place.
- ✔ Reconnect the Battery: Reattach the negative battery terminal and tighten it securely.
- ✔ Perform Post-Install Checks: Start the vehicle and test all body functions—lights, locks, windows, horn, etc. Address any potential relearn procedures as noted below.
Important Post-Installation Notes
While our cloning service makes this a plug-and-play repair, some vehicle systems may require a quick synchronization after the BCM is replaced. This is normal. The most common procedures are:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a professional scan tool is needed 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 relearn may be required to ensure correct brake light operation and to prevent issues with the traction control system.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the programming service work?
After you place your order, we will provide you with instructions to ship your original BCM to us. Once we receive it, our technicians clone its data to the replacement module and ship the ready-to-install part back to you, typically within 1-2 business days.
Do I need to send my keys?
No, you do not need to send your keys. All the necessary security information is stored within your original BCM and will be transferred during the cloning process.
Is this a plug-and-play solution?
Yes! Because we clone your vehicle’s specific data, the replacement BCM is fully plug-and-play. It requires no additional programming from a dealership, saving you time and money.
What if my original BCM is completely dead or not communicating?
In many cases, even if the BCM is not functioning in the vehicle, we can still extract the necessary data. Please contact us with details about your module’s condition if you have concerns.
Do I need to return my old BCM after installation?
No, there is no core charge for this part. You can keep your original module after the service is complete.
What tools are needed for the post-installation procedures?
The Airbag System Sync and Brake Pedal Position Relearn require a professional-grade bidirectional scan tool. Many independent repair shops have this equipment if you are a DIYer without access to one.
