Restore Full Control and Eliminate Electrical Gremlins
Are you dealing with bizarre electrical issues in your GMC Yukon XL 1500? One moment the power windows work, the next they don’t. Maybe the security light is flashing, the radio is acting possessed, or even worse, the vehicle refuses to start. These aren’t random glitches; they’re classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). As the central hub for your vehicle’s body electronics, a faulty BCM can cause widespread and frustrating problems. This isn’t just an inconvenience—it’s a reliability issue that needs a solid fix.
We offer a straightforward and dependable solution: a professionally programmed BCM that is a direct replacement for part numbers like 13580690 and 13594692. Forget about expensive dealership visits, towing fees, and complex programming procedures. Our unique cloning service makes this repair accessible to both professional mechanics and determined DIYers. Simply send us your original BCM, and we’ll transfer all the critical vehicle-specific data to this replacement unit. When you receive it back, it’s a true plug-and-play installation. Your vehicle won’t even know the difference, but you’ll notice the immediate return to flawless operation.
From the Diagnostic Bay: The Case of the Haunted Suburban
A customer brought in a 2015 Suburban, a close cousin to the Yukon XL, with a laundry list of complaints. The dash lights would flicker randomly, the driver’s side power lock was inoperative, and occasionally the truck would crank but not start. They had already replaced the battery and checked the alternator. After connecting my scan tool, I found a series of U-codes (U0140, U0155) pointing to a loss of communication with the BCM. Instead of just replacing the module and sending them to a dealer for a $400+ programming fee, we performed a data clone. By transferring the original module’s data, we preserved all the factory settings and key programming. The customer was back on the road the next day with all issues resolved for a fraction of the dealership’s quote. This is the exact service we provide to you.
Is Your Vehicle Showing These Symptoms?
A failing BCM can manifest in many ways. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is likely the solution you need:
- ✔ Intermittent or non-working power windows, door locks, or mirrors.
- ✔ Erratic interior or exterior lighting (flickering, staying on, or not turning on).
- ✔ Malfunctioning security system or a persistent anti-theft light.
- ✔ Problems with the radio, climate control, or instrument cluster displays.
- ✔ A no-crank or no-start condition, even with a good battery.
- ✔ Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) related to communication loss with various modules (often U-codes).
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
Our cloning service makes the physical swap simple. Once you receive the programmed module, follow these general steps:
- 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 2015 Yukon XL 1500, the BCM is located under the steering column, behind the lower dash panel. Consult a service manual for the exact location on your specific model.
- Remove the Old Module: Carefully disconnect the electrical connectors. They have locking tabs that need to be pressed or lifted. Once disconnected, unbolt or unclip the module from its mounting bracket.
- Install the New Module: Mount your new, pre-programmed BCM in the same location. Reconnect all electrical connectors firmly, ensuring they click into place.
- Reconnect and Test: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Start the vehicle and test all body functions—lights, locks, windows, radio, etc.—to confirm the repair was successful.
Important Post-Installation Notes
In some cases, minor relearn procedures may be needed after installation. This is normal as different vehicle systems re-establish communication.
- Airbag System Sync: If your airbag warning light is on after installation, a professional scan tool is required to perform the “Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM” procedure. This syncs the airbag system with the new BCM.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: For proper brake light and traction control operation, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be necessary on some models.
Disclaimer: Vehicle systems vary. We always recommend consulting a factory service manual or a qualified technician for procedures specific to your vehicle.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the cloning service work?
After you place your order, we will provide you with instructions and a shipping address. You mail your original BCM to us. We then extract the vehicle-specific data and transfer it to the replacement module. We ship the ready-to-install module back to you, typically within 1-2 business days of receiving your original.
Do I need to send my keys?
No. Because we are cloning all the data from your original module, including the security and key information, your existing keys will work seamlessly with the new BCM upon installation.
Is this a guaranteed fix for my problem?
This part resolves issues directly caused by a faulty BCM. While the symptoms listed are very common for BCM failure, we always recommend a proper diagnosis by a qualified mechanic to confirm the BCM is the root cause before ordering.
What if my original BCM is completely dead or not communicating?
In many cases, even if the BCM is not functioning in the vehicle, we can still recover the necessary data. Please contact us with details about your module’s condition if you have concerns.
Is there a core charge?
No, there is no core charge. We only need your original module for the data transfer service. You can keep your original module after the service is complete.
