Restore Full Functionality to Your GM Truck with a Pre-Configured BCM
If you’re dealing with a cascade of bizarre electrical problems in your 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, you’re not alone. From flickering lights and a dead battery to power windows that have a mind of their own, a failing Body Control Module (BCM) can make you feel like your truck is haunted. As a technician with over two decades of diagnostic experience, I’ve seen firsthand how a faulty BCM—the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics—can cause chaos. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it can affect vehicle security and safety systems.
We offer a reliable and straightforward solution. This is a replacement BCM, part number 13594692, that comes ready for installation thanks to our professional cloning service. You simply send us your original BCM, and we transfer all the critical vehicle-specific data (like VIN, mileage, and key information) to this replacement unit. The result? You get a module that plugs right in and works without needing a trip to the dealership for expensive programming. It’s the most efficient way to get your truck back to 100%.
A Technician’s Notebook: The Case of the Ghostly Silverado
A customer brought in a 2014 Silverado 1500 with a laundry list of complaints: the radio would turn on by itself, the dome lights would flicker while driving, and occasionally, the truck would refuse to start, showing no communication errors on a basic scanner. They had already replaced the battery and checked the alternator. In my shop, I’ve learned that when multiple, unrelated electronic systems act up simultaneously, the BCM is the prime suspect. After connecting a professional diagnostic tool, I found several U-codes (communication loss) pointing to the BCM. We performed this exact cloning service, and upon installing the newly programmed module, every single issue was resolved. It’s a classic example of how a single failing 2014 Silverado 1500 BCM can create widespread electronic mayhem.
Is Your Truck Showing These Symptoms?
A failing BCM can manifest in numerous ways. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is the likely solution:
- ✔ Intermittent or non-functional power windows, locks, or mirrors.
- ✔ Erratic interior or exterior lighting (flickering, staying on, or not working at all).
- ✔ Horn sounding randomly or not working when pressed.
- ✔ Instrument cluster gauges behaving erratically or going dark.
- ✔ “Service Theft Deterrent System” message or other security-related warnings.
- ✔ Communication loss codes, such as U0140, when scanned with a diagnostic tool.
- ✔ Unexplained battery drain that leaves you with a no-start condition.
Your Straightforward Path to a Reliable Fix
Our cloning service makes this a job that a confident DIYer or any professional mechanic can handle easily. Here’s the process:
- Step 1: Place your order. We will contact you with instructions for shipping your original BCM to our facility. Please ensure your contact information is accurate.
- Step 2: Carefully remove your original BCM. On most 2014 Silverado 1500 models, it’s located under the driver’s side of the dashboard, near the steering column. Disconnect the negative battery terminal first.
- Step 3: Ship your original module to us. Once we receive it, our technicians will professionally clone all necessary data to the replacement unit, typically within one business day.
- Step 4: We ship the plug-and-play replacement BCM back to you with tracking information.
- Step 5: Install the replacement module, reconnect your battery, and start your vehicle. Your truck’s original settings and key data are preserved, eliminating the need for reprogramming.
Important Post-Installation Information
In some cases, your vehicle may require a simple relearn procedure after the new 2014 Silverado 1500 BCM is installed. These are not signs of a faulty part but are standard vehicle-specific sync procedures:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag light is illuminated after installation, a “Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM” procedure is needed. This requires a professional-grade scan tool to sync the airbag system with the new BCM.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: To ensure proper brake light and stability control function, a brake pedal position sensor relearn might be necessary on certain models.
Always consult your vehicle’s factory service manual or a trusted technician for model-specific instructions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is a “cloning” service?
Cloning is the process where we transfer the essential software and vehicle-specific data—like the VIN, security information, and mileage—from your original BCM to the replacement unit. This makes the new module a perfect digital copy of your old one, allowing it to work in your truck without any additional programming.
Do I need to take my truck to the dealer after installation?
No! Our cloning service is designed to completely eliminate the need for dealership programming, saving you significant time and money. The module arrives ready to install and operate.
What if my airbag light turns on after I install the BCM?
This is a normal possibility. It means the BCM and the airbag module (SDM) need to be electronically re-synced. A mechanic with a professional diagnostic tool can perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to resolve this.
Is there a core charge for my old BCM?
No, there is no core charge. We need your original module to perform the cloning service, but you are not required to leave it with us. However, most customers find it easiest to let us handle its disposal.
How long does the entire process take?
Once we receive your original BCM, the cloning process itself typically takes just one business day. The total time will depend on shipping times to and from our facility. We provide tracking for the return shipment.
