Restore Your Cadillac’s Functionality and End Electrical Chaos
Are you dealing with a cascade of bizarre electrical issues in your 2014 Cadillac XTS? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows or locks, strange warning messages on the dash, or even a vehicle that refuses to start can all point to one culprit: a failing Body Control Module (BCM). As the central nervous system for your vehicle’s electronics, a faulty BCM can create frustrating and unpredictable problems. Going to the dealership often means a hefty bill for a new module plus expensive programming fees. This service is the smart, reliable, and cost-effective solution you’ve been looking for.
We offer a professional programming service for this BCM, which fits part numbers like 13594692, 13594768, and 13593214. The process is straightforward: you purchase this service, and we will contact you with instructions to ship your original BCM to our facility. Once we receive it, our experienced technicians will transfer all the critical vehicle-specific data—including VIN, mileage, and key information—to this replacement module. We then ship the fully programmed, plug-and-play BCM back to you. This cloning process ensures a seamless installation without the need for a trip to the dealer for additional programming.
From the Diagnostic Bay: The Case of the Haunted Cadillac
A customer brought in a 2014 XTS with a laundry list of complaints that sounded like the car was possessed. The radio would change stations on its own, the interior lights would pulse randomly, and the anti-theft system would engage for no reason, leaving him stranded. He’d already spent hundreds trying to chase down individual ‘gremlins.’ I immediately suspected the BCM. Instead of a new module and a full reprogramming from scratch, we performed a cloning service just like this one. In under an hour of shop time after receiving the cloned part, the car was back to normal. All the ‘ghosts’ were gone. He saved over $600 compared to the dealer quote and avoided days of diagnostic headaches.
Is Your Vehicle Showing These Common BCM Failure Symptoms?
- ✔ Unpredictable or non-functional power windows, locks, and mirrors.
- ✔ Horn honking randomly or not working at all.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights flickering, staying on, or not turning on.
- ✔ Erroneous warning lights on the instrument cluster (e.g., security, airbag, check engine).
- ✔ Intermittent no-start or no-crank conditions.
- ✔ Communication error codes with other modules, such as U0100, U0140.
- ✔ Wipers activating on their own or not responding to the switch.
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
- ✔ Safety First: Before you begin, disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery to prevent any electrical shorts.
- ✔ Locate and Remove: On the 2014 Cadillac XTS, the BCM is typically located in the left front hinge pillar area. Carefully disconnect the wiring harnesses and unbolt the module from its mounting bracket.
- ✔ Ship Your Original Module: Securely package your original BCM and ship it to us using the instructions we provide after your purchase.
- ✔ Receive and Install: Once we’ve cloned your data, we’ll ship the replacement module back to you. Simply mount the new BCM and reconnect the wiring harnesses exactly as you removed them.
- ✔ Power Up: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Start the vehicle and verify that the previous electrical issues have been resolved.
Important Post-Installation Information
While our cloning service for the 2014 XTS BCM makes this a plug-and-play repair, some vehicle systems may require a ‘handshake’ with the new module. Please be aware of the following potential procedures:
- 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 airbag system with the BCM.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration might be necessary to ensure correct brake light operation and to satisfy the traction control system.
Disclaimer: Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician if you are unsure about any step. Specific procedures can vary slightly by vehicle.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is a ‘cloning’ or ‘programming’ service?
This service involves transferring the unique, vehicle-specific software from your original BCM to this replacement unit. This includes the VIN, security information, and other settings. This makes the replacement module plug-and-play, avoiding costly and complex programming at a dealership.
How long does the process take?
We typically program and ship your replacement BCM within one business day of receiving your original module. The total time will depend on shipping speeds to and from our facility.
Do I need to send my keys with the module?
No, you do not need to send your keys. All the necessary key and security information is stored within the BCM itself, and our cloning process transfers it directly.
Is there a core charge for this part?
No, there is absolutely no core charge. You can keep your original module after you receive the programmed replacement from us.
What if my original BCM is completely dead or not communicating?
In many cases, even if the BCM is failing, we can still extract the necessary data. If your module has severe physical damage (e.g., from fire or water) or is completely unreadable, please contact us before purchasing to discuss options.
Will this fix my specific problem?
This part resolves issues directly caused by a faulty BCM. If you’ve diagnosed the BCM as the source of your vehicle’s electrical problems, this service is the correct solution. It will not fix problems related to other faulty components or wiring issues.
