Restore Your Vehicle’s Brain and End Electrical Frustration
Are you battling bizarre electrical issues in your 2015 Chevrolet Suburban 1500? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, a temperamental security system, or dashboard warnings that come and go without reason are classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). As the central hub for your vehicle’s body electronics, the BCM’s health is critical for everyday function. When it fails, it can make your reliable truck or SUV feel unpredictable and unsafe.
Instead of facing a costly trip to the dealership for a new module and expensive programming, we offer a straightforward, reliable solution. This is a comprehensive cloning service for a BCM compatible with part number 13580690 and others. You simply send us your original module, and we transfer all its vital data—including VIN, mileage, and security information—to this fully tested replacement unit. We ship it back to you ready for plug-and-play installation, getting you back on the road quickly and affordably.
A Technician’s Notebook: The Suburban with a Mind of Its Own
A customer brought in a 2015 Suburban 1500 with a laundry list of complaints that seemed unrelated. The radio would turn off randomly, the driver’s side window wouldn’t roll down, and the anti-theft light would flash, sometimes preventing the engine from starting. Initial scans showed a flurry of U-codes (communication errors) pointing to a network issue. After verifying the wiring and CAN bus integrity, my suspicion fell squarely on the BCM. In my shop, I’ve seen dozens of these GM BCMs fail internally, causing network chaos. We swapped in one of our cloned modules, and instantly, all the gremlins vanished. It’s a textbook case of how a single failing 2015 Suburban 1500 BCM can create widespread, confusing symptoms.
Is Your GM Vehicle Showing These Symptoms?
- ✔ Power windows, locks, or mirrors operating erratically or not at all.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights flickering, staying on, or failing to turn on.
- ✔ The security system engaging randomly, causing a no-start condition (blinking security light).
- ✔ Inaccurate gauge readings or a completely dead instrument cluster.
- ✔ Communication error codes, such as U0100, U0140, or other U-series faults.
- ✔ Horn honking unexpectedly or not working when needed.
- ✔ Key fobs that stop working or have an intermittent connection.
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
- ✔ Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery to prevent any electrical shorts.
- ✔ Locate the BCM: On most compatible trucks and SUVs like the Suburban, the BCM is located under the driver’s side of the dashboard, near the steering column. Refer to a service manual for your specific model’s exact location.
- ✔ Remove Your Original BCM: Carefully disconnect all electrical connectors. They have locking tabs that must be depressed. Once unplugged, unbolt or unclip the module from its mounting bracket.
- ✔ Ship It To Us: Package your original BCM securely and ship it to us. After you purchase, we will contact you with detailed shipping instructions. Please ensure your contact information is correct at checkout.
- ✔ Install the Cloned Module: Once you receive the programmed replacement from us, simply mount it in place and reconnect all the electrical connectors. Ensure they click securely into place.
- ✔ Reconnect the Battery: Re-attach the negative battery terminal.
- ✔ Perform Final Checks: Start the vehicle and test all body functions (lights, windows, locks, etc.). Note the post-installation procedures below, as some may be required.
This service provides a dependable solution by restoring the original functionality of your vehicle’s electronics. The core of this service is programming a replacement 2015 Suburban 1500 BCM with your vehicle’s unique data, making the installation process as simple as possible.
Important Post-Installation Procedures
While our cloning service makes this a near plug-and-play repair, some vehicle systems may require a relearn or synchronization procedure after the BCM is installed. This is normal and ensures all related modules communicate correctly.
- 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 new BCM.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor relearn may be necessary to ensure proper brake light operation and to prevent issues with the traction control system.
Disclaimer: Procedures can vary. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for vehicle-specific guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the cloning service work?
After you place your order, we will contact you with instructions to ship your original BCM to our facility. Once we receive it, our technicians will extract the unique programming and security data and flash it onto this replacement module. We then ship the programmed module back to you, ready for installation.
Do I need to send my original module if it’s completely dead?
Yes. In most cases, even if the BCM is non-functional, we can still retrieve the necessary data from the memory chip. Please contact us if you have concerns about the condition of your module.
Is any additional programming required after installation?
No, our cloning service makes the module plug-and-play. Your vehicle’s VIN, options, and security keys are transferred, so no trip to the dealer is needed. However, you may need to perform simple relearn procedures for the airbag or brake pedal sensor as noted in the description.
What is the turnaround time?
We typically program and ship your replacement BCM within 1-2 business days of receiving your original module. You will receive a tracking number as soon as it ships.
Do I need to return my old BCM after I receive the new one?
No, there is no core charge for this service. You can keep your original module. We only need it for the initial data transfer.
