Restore Full Functionality to Your GM Vehicle
Is your 2015 Cadillac Escalade ESV acting possessed? Flickering lights, intermittent power windows, malfunctioning door locks, or a security system that has a mind of its own are all classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). As the central nervous system for your vehicle’s comfort and convenience features, a faulty BCM can turn your luxury SUV or dependable truck into a source of daily frustration. In my 20+ years of diagnostics, I’ve seen how these electrical gremlins can stump even seasoned mechanics, leading to expensive and unnecessary parts replacement.
This is not just a replacement part; it’s a complete, hassle-free solution. We offer a professionally programmed Body Control Module, part number 13594692, tailored specifically for your vehicle. By using our simple mail-in cloning service, we transfer all the critical data from your original BCM—including key programming, mileage, and specific vehicle options—to this replacement unit. The result? A true plug-and-play module that eliminates the need for a costly trip to the dealership for programming. You get your vehicle back to factory-spec operation without the headache.
A Technician’s Notebook: The Escalade That Wouldn’t Behave
A client brought in a 2015 Escalade ESV with a laundry list of bizarre issues: the radio would randomly shut off, the passenger window wouldn’t respond, and the interior dome lights would stay on. They had already replaced the battery and a window switch with no luck. After connecting my scan tool, I saw a cascade of U-codes (communication errors), all pointing back to one source. The BCM was failing intermittently, causing network chaos. Instead of a complex and expensive dealer replacement, we used a cloned 2015 Escalade ESV BCM. Once installed, every single issue vanished. It’s a powerful reminder that targeting the root cause with the right solution saves time, money, and immense frustration.
Is Your Vehicle Exhibiting These BCM Failure Signs?
A failing BCM can manifest in numerous ways. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is likely the solution you need. Look out for Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) like U0140, U0155, or B1325.
- ✔ Power windows, door locks, or mirrors operating erratically or not at all.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights (headlights, taillights) staying on or not turning on.
- ✔ The security system or keyless entry failing to work correctly.
- ✔ The radio or infotainment system randomly shutting down or malfunctioning.
- ✔ Warning lights appearing on the dash without a clear mechanical cause.
- ✔ In severe cases, a no-start condition where the vehicle’s security system prevents ignition.
Your Straightforward BCM Installation Guide
Our cloning service makes the physical installation simple. While the location varies slightly by model, it’s typically found under the steering column or behind the driver’s side dash. For your 2015 Escalade ESV BCM, it is located under the steering column.
- Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery before starting any electrical work.
- Locate the BCM: On most compatible trucks and SUVs, you’ll need to remove the lower dash panel beneath the steering wheel to access the module.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug all electrical connectors from the old BCM. They have locking tabs that must be depressed. Once disconnected, unbolt or unclip the module from its mounting bracket.
- Install the New Module: Seat your new, pre-programmed BCM into the mounting bracket and securely plug in all the electrical connectors. You should hear a click as they lock into place.
- Reconnect and Test: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Turn the key to the ‘On’ position and test all functions: windows, locks, lights, radio, etc.
Important Post-Installation Note: In some cases, you may need to perform a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ (for the airbag light) or a ‘Brake Pedal Position Relearn’. These procedures require a professional-grade diagnostic tool. However, they are only necessary if specific warning lights appear after installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does this cloning service work?
It’s simple. After you place your order, we’ll provide instructions for you to ship your original BCM to us. Once we receive it, we extract the unique data and transfer it to the replacement module. We then ship the plug-and-play replacement back to you, typically within 24-48 hours.
Do I need to get this BCM programmed by a dealer?
No. The main benefit of our service is that the module arrives pre-programmed with your vehicle’s specific information. This allows you to avoid the high costs and scheduling hassles of dealership programming.
What is a BCM and what does it do?
The Body Control Module (BCM) is a computer that manages many of your vehicle’s non-engine related functions. This includes power windows, locks, interior/exterior lighting, security systems, wipers, and more.
What if the airbag light comes on after I install it?
This can occasionally happen. It requires a simple ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure with a bi-directional scan tool to sync the airbag system with the new BCM. A local repair shop can perform this for you.
Is there a core charge for my old part?
No, there is no core charge. We only need your original module temporarily for the data cloning process. You are welcome to keep it afterward.
