2008 – 2012 GM Body Control Module (BCM) 10382479 – Programmed to Your VIN
Imagine you’re behind the wheel of your 2010 Chevy Tahoe, ready for a family road trip, but suddenly the doors won’t lock, the interior lights flicker erratically, and your dashboard throws a check engine light with DTC B1370. Frustrating, right? These glitches often stem from a failing Body Control Module (BCM), the central hub managing your vehicle’s electrical systems. Our pre-programmed BCM, featuring part number 10382479, arrives flashed with the latest GM updates tailored to your VIN, ensuring seamless compatibility. It interchanges with numbers like 15093910, 15276271, and 25892622, covering a wide range of GM models from Equinox to Yukon. This direct replacement restores reliable performance, preventing those random power window failures or alarm system hiccups that plague older modules. By addressing root causes like corrosion or software glitches, it delivers peace of mind for daily drives or heavy towing in models like the Express 3500 Van.

Common Issues & How This Fixes Them
A faulty BCM in 2008-2012 GM vehicles often manifests as erratic behavior, such as doors locking unexpectedly while driving your GMC Yukon, or headlights dimming without reason in a Chevy Equinox. One frequent culprit is water intrusion causing corrosion on the module’s circuits, leading to DTC B3109 for key fob malfunctions. In real scenarios, like hauling cargo in an Express 2500 Van, this can result in unreliable turn signals, heightening accident risks. Another issue hits Pontiac G8 owners with power seat failures tied to DTC B1325, often from voltage spikes. Our programmed BCM tackles these by providing updated firmware that recalibrates sensors and clears error codes effectively. For Cadillac CTS drivers experiencing intermittent wiper problems, the replacement stabilizes communication between modules, preventing cascading failures. Drawing from years of shop experience, I’ve seen how a fresh BCM resolves theft system lockouts in Hummer H2, where the original unit glitches after battery replacements. Always check for loose connectors first—a quick visual inspection can save diagnostic time. This approach not only fixes symptoms but prevents future breakdowns, ensuring your Saturn Vue runs smoothly on long commutes.
Easy Installation Guide
- Provide your VIN after purchase so we can program the BCM with the latest GM updates before shipping.
- Disconnect the battery to ensure safety and reset any stored codes; locate the BCM (often under the steering column or center dash, depending on your model like Tahoe or Impala).
- Remove the old module by unplugging connectors carefully—note positions to avoid mix-ups.
- Install the new BCM, securing it in place and reconnecting all harnesses firmly.
- Reconnect the battery and perform a system check; if a no-start occurs due to theft deterrent, cycle the key: insert key, turn to ON for 10 minutes, off for 30 seconds, repeat three times.
- Test all functions like lights, locks, and windows; note that per GM standards, theft relearn is only necessary if immobilizer issues arise post-install.
