Is Your GM Vehicle Plagued by Electrical Gremlins?
If you’re experiencing a host of bizarre and frustrating electrical issues in your 2015 Chevy Tahoe, Silverado, GMC Sierra, or other compatible GM vehicle, a failing Body Control Module (BCM) is the most likely culprit. The BCM is the central nervous system for your vehicle’s body electronics, managing everything from your power windows and door locks to the interior lights, security system, and even communication with other vital modules. When it starts to fail, it can create a cascade of problems that seem unrelated and are difficult to diagnose.
Instead of facing a costly trip to the dealership for a new module and expensive programming fees, we offer a simple, reliable, and cost-effective solution. This listing is for a replacement BCM, part number 13594692, that is professionally programmed using the data from your vehicle’s original module. This cloning service makes the replacement process as close to plug-and-play as possible, getting you back on the road quickly and without the dealership hassle.
Common Symptoms of a Failing GM BCM
A faulty Body Control Module can manifest in numerous ways. If you’re noticing any of the following issues, it’s a strong indicator that your BCM needs attention:
- ✔ Intermittent or non-functional power windows, door locks, or mirrors.
- ✔ Erratic behavior from interior or exterior lighting (flickering, staying on, or not turning on at all).
- ✔ The security system or alarm sounding randomly or not arming correctly.
- ✔ The instrument cluster displaying incorrect information or warning lights that have no apparent cause.
- ✔ Key fobs not being recognized, or the push-to-start system failing intermittently.
- ✔ The radio or infotainment system turning on and off by itself.
- ✔ A parasitic battery drain that leaves you with a dead battery overnight.
How Our BCM Programming Service Works
Our process is designed to be straightforward and eliminate the need for any on-vehicle programming. Here’s how it works:
- Place Your Order: Complete your purchase for this BCM service. Please ensure your contact information is accurate.
- We Contact You: Shortly after your order, our team will reach out to you with detailed instructions and the shipping address for you to send us your original BCM.
- Ship Your Original Module: Carefully package and ship your vehicle’s original BCM to our facility.
- We Clone The Data: Upon receipt, our technicians will perform a data transfer, cloning the vital VIN, security, and options information from your original module to the replacement 2015 Tahoe BCM.
- We Ship It Back: We ship the newly programmed BCM back to you, typically within 1-2 business days. You will receive tracking information as soon as it’s on its way.
Once you receive the module, installation is simple. Just disconnect the battery, swap the modules, and reconnect the battery. In most cases, no further steps are needed.
Post-Installation Information
While our goal is a 100% plug-and-play experience, some vehicle systems may require a simple recalibration after the BCM is installed. Please be aware of the following potential procedures:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a “Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM” procedure is needed. This requires a professional scan tool to sync the airbag module 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 traction control functionality.
Disclaimer: Specific procedures can vary by vehicle. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the turnaround time for the programming service?
We typically program and ship your replacement BCM within 24-48 hours of receiving your original module. Return shipping time will depend on the carrier and your location.
What if my original BCM is completely dead or unreadable?
In most cases, even if the BCM is failing, we can still extract the necessary data. If your module is severely damaged (e.g., by fire or water) and the data is unrecoverable, we will contact you to discuss alternative options or provide a full refund.
Do I need any special tools to install the BCM?
No, installation is straightforward. You will only need basic hand tools to access the BCM (typically located under the steering column or behind the dash) and disconnect its electrical connectors. Always disconnect the vehicle’s battery before starting work.
Will my mileage and keys work correctly after installation?
Yes. Because we are cloning all the data from your original module, the replacement BCM will have your vehicle’s correct mileage information and key data. Your existing keys will work exactly as they did before.
Is there a core charge for this service?
No, there is no core charge. We require your original module for the data cloning service, but you do not need to return the replacement part to us after installation.
