Restore Your Vehicle’s Electrical System with a Plug-and-Play Solution
Are you dealing with frustrating electrical gremlins in your GM vehicle? Flickering dashboard lights, power windows with a mind of their own, or a security system that prevents your car from starting can all point to one culprit: a failing Body Control Module (BCM). As an automotive technician with over two decades of experience, I’ve seen how a faulty BCM can turn a reliable vehicle into a source of constant headaches. It’s the central nervous system for your car’s comfort and convenience features, and when it fails, chaos ensues.
This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a complete, hassle-free fix. We offer a professional Programmed Body Control Module with a dedicated cloning service. Simply send us your vehicle’s original BCM, and we’ll transfer all the vital, vehicle-specific data—including VIN, mileage, and key information—to this replacement unit. It arrives at your door ready to install, completely bypassing the need for expensive dealership programming or specialized scan tools. This is the most efficient way to get your car, truck, or van back to perfect working order.
A Technician’s Notebook: The Case of the Confused Express Van
Just last month, a 2009 Chevy Express 3500 work van was towed to my shop. The owner, a local contractor, was at his wit’s end. The van would intermittently fail to start, the dome lights would flicker randomly, and the power locks worked only when they felt like it. He had already replaced the battery and checked the alternator. A quick scan revealed a slew of communication codes (U-codes), indicating that various modules weren’t talking to each other correctly. This is a classic sign of a failing BCM. Instead of a costly new module from the dealer, we used our cloning service. We transferred the data from his failing BCM to a quality replacement. After a 15-minute installation, every single issue was resolved. The van started reliably, and all accessories functioned perfectly. It’s a textbook example of how this service saves customers time, money, and immense frustration.
Is Your Vehicle Showing These Symptoms?
A failing BCM can manifest in numerous ways. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is likely the solution you need:
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional power windows, door locks, or mirrors.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights that stay on, flicker, or don’t work at all.
- ✔ The security or anti-theft system light is on, preventing the engine from starting.
- ✔ Inconsistent or failed operation of the radio, climate controls, or remote start.
- ✔ Multiple warning lights on the instrument cluster with no apparent cause.
- ✔ Diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) related to communication errors, such as U0100, U0140, or other U-series codes.
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
Thanks to our cloning service, installing your replacement BCM is a simple plug-and-play process. While the exact location varies by model (see fitment list), the general steps are the same.
- Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery and wait a few minutes before proceeding.
- Locate the BCM: The BCM is typically found under the driver’s or passenger’s side of the dashboard, or behind the center console. A quick search for your specific model will confirm its location.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors from the old BCM. They have locking tabs that need to be depressed. 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 and securely reconnect all 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: lights, windows, locks, radio, etc. Start the vehicle to ensure everything is operating correctly.
Important Post-Installation Information
In most cases, no further steps are needed. However, on some GM models, a couple of simple relearn procedures might be required. Please be aware of the following:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag (SRS) light is illuminated after installation, a professional scan tool is needed to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system. This is only necessary if the light is on.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On certain vehicles, a brake pedal position sensor relearn may be needed to ensure correct operation of the brake lights and stability control systems.
Disclaimer: Specific procedures can vary by vehicle. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is the ‘cloning service’?
Cloning is the process of reading the essential software and vehicle-specific data (like the VIN and security information) from your original BCM and writing it directly onto the replacement module. This makes the new module an exact digital copy of the original, ensuring it works seamlessly with your vehicle without any additional programming.
Do I need to take my car to the dealer after installation?
No! Our cloning service is designed to eliminate the need for dealer intervention. The module you receive will be pre-programmed and ready for installation. In the rare case an airbag light appears, a technician with a capable scan tool will be needed, but a trip to the dealership is typically not required.
What happens to my original BCM?
Your original module is always returned to you along with the programmed replacement unit. We do not keep your old part. You paid for it, and it’s yours to keep.
What if my original BCM is completely dead or water damaged?
In many cases, even if the BCM is non-functional in the vehicle, we can still retrieve the necessary data from the memory chip on the circuit board. Please contact us before ordering if your module has severe physical or water damage so we can assess the likelihood of a successful data transfer.
Will this fix my specific problem?
This BCM will fix any issue directly caused by a faulty Body Control Module. The symptoms we’ve listed are the most common indicators. If you’ve properly diagnosed the BCM as the point of failure, this part is the solution. Proper diagnosis is key to any successful repair.
