Restore Your Vehicle’s Electrical System with a Hassle-Free Solution
Are you battling frustrating electrical problems in your vehicle? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, a security system that acts up, or worse—a car that won’t start? These are 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 issues. Dealerships often charge a fortune for a new module plus mandatory, expensive programming. We offer a smarter, more affordable path back to reliability.
This is a professionally programmed BCM, prepared specifically for your vehicle using our expert cloning service. The process is simple: you send us your original BCM, and we transfer its unique data—including the VIN, key information, and factory-installed options—directly onto this replacement module. This critical step ensures a seamless integration with your vehicle’s other systems, eliminating the need for complex and costly dealership programming. We then ship the ready-to-install BCM back to you, getting you back on the road quickly and confidently.
A Technician’s Notebook
I remember a 2014 Impala that came into the shop with a laundry list of bizarre symptoms. The radio would turn on by itself, the driver’s side window wouldn’t go down, and the key fob worked only intermittently. The owner had already replaced the battery and checked all the fuses. A scan tool showed a dozen communication error codes (U-codes) pointing in every direction. This is a tell-tale sign of a BCM failure. Instead of just throwing parts at it, we confirmed the BCM was the source of the network interference. By cloning the original module, we preserved all the car’s specific settings. The customer had the new module installed in under 30 minutes, and every single electrical gremlin was gone. It’s a perfect example of how cloning provides a precise, reliable fix.
Is Your Vehicle Showing These Telltale Signs?
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional power windows, door locks, or interior lights.
- ✔ The security system or anti-theft light is always on or flashing.
- ✔ Key fobs are not being recognized by the vehicle.
- ✔ Intermittent no-start or no-crank conditions.
- ✔ Warning lights for the airbag, ABS, or traction control system are illuminated on the dash.
- ✔ Communication error codes (like U0140, U0155) stored in other modules.
- ✔ Horn, wipers, or other accessories activating on their own.
Your Straightforward Installation Guide
Our cloning service makes the final installation step simple. Here is the process from start to finish:
- Purchase: Complete your purchase. We will contact you with shipping instructions for sending your original module to us.
- Remove Your Original BCM: Before you begin, disconnect the negative battery terminal. Carefully locate and remove your vehicle’s original BCM. The location is noted in the fitment list below.
- Ship Your Module: Securely package your original BCM and ship it to our facility.
- We Program Your New BCM: Upon receipt, our technicians will professionally clone all the data from your original module to the replacement unit.
- Install the Cloned Module: We ship the plug-and-play BCM back to you. Simply install it in your vehicle and reconnect the battery. Your vehicle’s personality is now fully restored!
Important Post-Installation Information
While our cloning service handles the primary programming, some vehicle systems may require a quick synchronization after the BCM is installed. This is a normal part of the process.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is on after installation, a professional scan tool is needed to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. This syncs the airbag system with the new BCM.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor relearn might be necessary to ensure correct brake light and traction control operation.
Disclaimer: Specific procedures can vary by vehicle. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is a BCM cloning service?
Cloning is a process where we transfer the complete software and vehicle-specific data (like VIN, mileage, and key codes) from your original BCM to the replacement one. This makes the new module an exact digital copy of the old one, allowing it to work in your car without needing further programming from a dealer.
Do I need to get this module programmed at the dealership?
No. Our cloning service completely handles the programming. Once you receive the module back from us, it is ready to be installed directly into your vehicle. This saves you time, money, and a trip to the dealer.
What if my original BCM is not communicating or is completely dead?
In many cases, even if the BCM is failing, we can still extract the necessary data. Please contact us before ordering if your module is severely damaged by water or fire, or if a mechanic has confirmed it is completely unresponsive.
Is there a core charge or do I need to return my old part?
There is no core charge for this item. We need your original module to perform the cloning service, but you can keep it afterward if you wish. We will ship it back with your newly programmed module.
How long does the cloning process take?
We pride ourselves on a fast turnaround. Once we receive your original BCM, the programming and shipping process is typically completed within 1-2 business days. We will send you tracking information as soon as it ships.
