Restore Your Truck’s Brain, Not Just a Part
Are you chasing electrical gremlins in your GM truck or SUV? Flickering lights, power windows with a mind of their own, a security light that won’t turn off, or even a frustrating no-start condition? Before you spend a fortune at the dealership, the problem is likely a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it malfunctions, it can create a host of bizarre and unpredictable symptoms. This isn’t just a part; it’s the solution to restoring order and reliability to your vehicle.
We offer a straightforward and cost-effective fix. This listing is for a replacement BCM, part number 13594692 (compatible with 13591519 and others), that comes with our expert cloning service. You simply send us your original BCM, and we transfer all of its critical data—including VIN, mileage, and key programming—to this replacement unit. The result? A module that is truly plug-and-play for your specific vehicle, eliminating the need for expensive and time-consuming dealership programming. It’s the most efficient way to get your truck back to 100%.
A Technician’s Notebook: The Case of the Haunted Sierra
A customer brought in his 2014 Sierra, convinced it was possessed. The horn would randomly blare, the interior lights would flicker while driving, and sometimes the driver’s side window wouldn’t roll down. He’d already replaced the battery and checked all the fuses. After connecting my scan tool, I saw a storm of communication error codes (U-codes) pointing to the BCM. These modules, often located under the steering column, are susceptible to voltage spikes and internal circuit board failures over time. Instead of a new, blank module requiring hours of programming, we used a cloned unit. The customer shipped us his old BCM, we transferred the data, and sent the programmed replacement back. He installed it in under 30 minutes, and every single ‘haunting’ disappeared. It’s a textbook example of how a properly programmed 2014 Silverado 1500 BCM can be a simple, definitive fix for overwhelmingly complex symptoms.
Is Your Truck Exhibiting These BCM Failure Signs?
A failing BCM can manifest in numerous ways. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is your likely solution:
- ✔ Intermittent or non-functional power windows, door locks, or mirrors.
- ✔ Erratic interior or exterior lighting (headlights, taillights, dome lights).
- ✔ Security system light is on, preventing the engine from starting.
- ✔ Horn honking randomly or not working at all.
- ✔ Wipers activating on their own or not responding.
- ✔ Multiple communication error codes stored, such as U0140, U0155, or other U-series codes.
- ✔ Instrument cluster gauges behaving erratically or going dark.
Your Step-by-Step BCM Swap and Service Guide
Our process is designed to be as simple as possible. By cloning your original module, we save you hundreds on dealer fees.
- Purchase This Service: Complete your order. We will then contact you with detailed instructions and the shipping address to send your original BCM.
- Remove Your Original BCM: On most GM trucks like the Silverado and Sierra, the BCM is located under the driver’s side of the dashboard, near the steering column. Disconnect the negative battery terminal first! Carefully unplug the electrical connectors and remove the module.
- Ship Us Your Module: Package your original BCM securely and ship it to us. We recommend using a trackable service.
- We Program Your Replacement: Once we receive your module, our technicians will professionally clone all necessary data to the replacement BCM within 1-2 business days.
- Install Your Plug-and-Play Module: We ship your newly programmed BCM back to you. Simply install it, reconnect the battery, and start your vehicle. All your original functions and key settings will be restored.
Post-Installation Checks
While our cloning makes this a near plug-and-play repair for your 2014 Silverado 1500 BCM, some vehicle systems may require a ‘handshake’ with the new module. Be aware of the following possibilities:
- Airbag System Sync: If your airbag warning light illuminates after installation, a simple “Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM” procedure may be needed. This requires a professional-grade scan tool to sync the systems and is not always necessary.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On certain models, the brake pedal position sensor may need to be recalibrated to ensure correct brake light and traction control operation.
Disclaimer: Vehicle systems vary. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician if you are unsure about any procedure.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a BCM cloning service?
Cloning is a process where we read the essential software and vehicle-specific data (like VIN, security info, and options) from your original BCM and write it directly onto the replacement module. This makes the replacement unit an identical twin to your old one, avoiding the need for dealership programming.
Why is this better than buying a new BCM from a dealer?
A new BCM from the dealer is a ‘blank slate.’ It requires expensive, specialized tools to be programmed to your vehicle. Our service handles all the programming for you before the part ever arrives, saving you significant time, money, and hassle.
Do I need to return my old BCM as a core?
No, there is no core charge. We only need your original module to perform the data transfer. You can keep your original module after the service is complete.
What happens if I install it and the airbag light comes on?
This is a known possibility on some GM vehicles. It simply means the new BCM needs to be electronically introduced to the airbag module (SDM). A repair shop with a capable scan tool can perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure in a few minutes to resolve this.
Is this a guaranteed fix for my vehicle’s problems?
This programmed 2014 Silverado 1500 BCM will resolve any issues directly caused by a faulty BCM. It is crucial to properly diagnose the problem first. If you’re experiencing the symptoms listed above, the BCM is the most common culprit.
How long does the entire process take?
Once we receive your original module, our programming service typically takes 1-2 business days. The total time will depend on shipping speeds to and from our facility.
