Tired of Bizarre Electrical Problems in Your GMC Yukon?
If your 2003-2006 GMC Yukon XL 2500 is acting possessed—with flickering lights, a dead climate control panel, or power windows with a mind of their own—you’re likely dealing with a failing Body Control Module (BCM). This component is the central hub for your truck’s body electronics, and when it goes bad, it can cause a cascade of frustrating and hard-to-diagnose issues. Stop chasing electrical gremlins and get a permanent fix with our VIN-programmed BCM, a direct replacement for part number 10367690.
We make the repair process simple. Unlike the dealership, which requires expensive programming appointments, we flash this module with your vehicle’s specific VIN before it ships. This means it arrives ready for a true plug-and-play installation, restoring full functionality to your power accessories and clearing communication-related fault codes right out of the box.
A Technician’s Notebook
I recently had a 2005 Yukon XL 2500 in my bay that had its owner completely stumped. The HVAC blower would only work on high, the radio would cut out randomly, and the security light was on, causing an intermittent no-start. The owner had already replaced the battery and checked all the fuses. A quick scan showed a dozen communication codes, all pointing back to the BCM. Instead of a multi-day diagnostic nightmare, we swapped in a VIN-programmed module. In less than 10 minutes, every single issue was resolved. It’s a classic failure on these GM trucks, and this part is the definitive, no-hassle solution.
Solving Problems with a 2003-2006 Yukon XL 2500 BCM
This BCM is the command center for features you use every day. A faulty one doesn’t just cause inconvenience; it can create safety concerns, like an unexpected no-start or an illuminated airbag warning light. By replacing your old module, you’re not just fixing a few annoyances—you’re restoring the reliability and safety of your vehicle. This module is built to meet or exceed original equipment standards, ensuring long-lasting performance for your daily driver or work truck.
Is Your Yukon Showing These Electrical Gremlins?
- ✔ Power windows, door locks, or mirrors not working or operating erratically.
- ✔ HVAC climate controls are unresponsive, or the blower motor is stuck on one speed.
- ✔ The anti-theft or security system malfunctions, preventing the engine from starting.
- ✔ Headlights, taillights, or interior lights flicker or fail to turn on/off.
- ✔ The airbag warning light is illuminated, often with a DTC like B1001 (Option Configuration Error).
- ✔ Your scan tool shows multiple communication or body-related diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs).
Get Your Yukon Back to Normal: 5-Minute Installation Guide
- ✔ Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery before starting any electrical work.
- ✔ Locate the BCM: On most Yukon XL models, the BCM is located under the driver’s side of the dashboard, near the steering column. It’s a black plastic box with several large multi-pin connectors.
- ✔ Swap the Module: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors from the old BCM. They have locking tabs that need to be depressed. Remove any mounting screws or clips holding the module in place and install the new one.
- ✔ Reconnect Everything: Firmly plug the connectors into your new, pre-programmed BCM. Reconnect the negative battery terminal.
- ✔ Final Checks: Start the vehicle and test all functions—windows, locks, HVAC, wipers, and lights. In some cases, if the airbag light remains on, a professional scan tool may be needed to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key’ procedure.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does ‘VIN Programmed’ mean for me?
It means we load your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and factory options onto the module before shipping. This ensures it communicates perfectly with your truck’s other computers, eliminating the need for an expensive programming service at a dealership.
Do I need to send my old BCM back?
No. There is absolutely no core charge for this part. You can keep your old module without any extra fees or hassle.
My airbag light is on. Will this fix it?
A faulty BCM can cause the airbag light to come on with code B1001. Replacing the BCM often resolves this, but sometimes a final ‘SDM Key Relearn’ procedure is needed using a professional scan tool to sync the new BCM with the airbag system.
Is this a difficult part for a DIYer to install?
Not at all. The installation is very straightforward and typically takes less than 15 minutes with basic hand tools. The most important part is that our pre-programming saves you the most complicated step.
What if my brake lights don’t work correctly after installation?
On some models, a Brake Pedal Position (BPP) sensor relearn procedure may be necessary. This is a simple recalibration that can be performed with many bi-directional scan tools to ensure proper brake light and traction control operation.
