Are you battling frustrating electrical gremlins in your GM truck or SUV? Issues like flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, a dead battery overnight, or a security light that prevents your vehicle from starting are often signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). This vital component is the central nervous system for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can cause a wide range of confusing and intermittent problems. This pre-programmed BCM is the definitive solution, designed to restore full functionality to your vehicle without a trip to the dealership.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Intermittent or non-working power windows, door locks, or mirrors.
- ✔ Erratic dashboard behavior, including faulty gauges or warning lights (Security, ABS, Airbag).
- ✔ Horn that honks randomly or doesn’t work when pressed.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights that won’t turn on or stay on after the vehicle is off.
- ✔ Vehicle security system malfunctions, leading to no-start or crank-no-start conditions.
- ✔ Unexplained and persistent battery drain that leaves you stranded.
- ✔ Wipers operating incorrectly or not at all.

Installation and Post-Install Considerations
Physically installing the 2002 Escalade Body Control Module is straightforward. It is typically located under the steering column or behind the center dash, secured by a few bolts and electrical connectors. However, after installation, some vehicles may require additional electronic ‘relearn’ or ‘setup’ procedures to ensure all systems communicate correctly. These may include:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure must be performed with a professional scan tool.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: A recalibration of the brake pedal position sensor may be needed on some models to ensure correct brake light and traction control operation.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician if you are unsure about any step of the installation or post-installation process.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a BCM and what does it do?
The Body Control Module (BCM) is a computer in your vehicle that controls and monitors a wide variety of electronic accessories not related to the engine, such as power windows, locks, lights, wipers, security system, and horn.
Is this part difficult to install?
The physical replacement is typically simple, involving basic hand tools. Since we program the module to your VIN before shipping, you avoid the most difficult step. However, be aware that some vehicles may require post-installation relearn procedures with a diagnostic tool, as noted in the description.
How do I provide my vehicle’s VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will receive instructions on how to send us your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We must have your VIN to program the module correctly before we can ship it.
Will this fix my specific electrical problem?
This BCM is the correct solution for a wide range of electrical issues listed in the description. However, proper vehicle diagnosis is always recommended to confirm the BCM is the source of the fault before ordering.
What if my airbag light is on after I install this BCM?
This is a known possibility. It means the new BCM needs to be electronically synced with your vehicle’s airbag system (SDM). This requires a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure using a professional-grade scan tool.
Do I need to return my old BCM?
No. There is no core charge for this part. You can keep your original module.
