Is Your GM Vehicle Experiencing Strange Electrical Problems?
The Body Control Module, or BCM, is the central command center for your vehicle’s electronic accessories. It manages everything from your power windows and door locks to the interior lights, security system, and even communication between other modules. When the BCM starts to fail, it can cause a cascade of confusing and frustrating issues that can be difficult to diagnose. Instead of facing a costly trip to the dealership for a new module and expensive programming, our mail-in cloning service offers a simple, reliable, and affordable solution.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional power windows, door locks, or mirrors.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights staying on, not turning on, or flickering.
- ✔ The security system acting up, causing no-start conditions or random alarm triggers.
- ✔ Dashboard warning lights appearing intermittently.
- ✔ Horn, wipers, or radio functioning incorrectly or not at all.
- ✔ Inability to communicate with the module using a diagnostic scan tool.

This process makes the new module a perfect digital twin of your old one. The result is a true plug-and-play solution. You simply install the module we send you, and your vehicle is back to normal. There’s no need for additional programming or calibration at a dealership, saving you time, money, and the hassle of towing your vehicle.

While our goal is a 100% plug-and-play experience, certain vehicle systems may require a recalibration after the BCM is replaced. These are simple procedures for any qualified technician with a professional scan tool.
- Airbag System Sync: If your airbag warning light is on after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure is needed to sync the airbag system with the BCM.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be necessary to ensure correct brake light operation and traction control function.
Disclaimer: Specific procedures can vary by exact vehicle configuration. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance.
Frequently Asked Questions
