Is your 2010 Cadillac Escalade suffering from strange and unpredictable electrical problems? The Body Control Module, or BCM, is the central command center for your vehicle’s electronic accessories. When it fails, it can cause a cascade of frustrating issues, from flickering lights to non-functional power windows. This replacement Body Control Module is the definitive solution, arriving at your door fully programmed to your vehicle’s specific VIN, ensuring a straightforward installation process.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2010 Escalade roll in with a laundry list of bizarre symptoms: the radio would turn on and off by itself, the interior dome lights wouldn’t work, and the driver’s side power lock was intermittent. The owner had already replaced the battery and checked fuses with no luck. A quick scan showed multiple communication errors pointing to the BCM. Instead of a costly trip to the dealership for a new module and programming, we installed one of our pre-programmed units. The install took less than an hour, and every single electrical gremlin was gone. It’s a common failure, but thankfully, an easy fix with the right part.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Erratic or non-working power windows, door locks, and mirrors.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights flickering, staying on, or not turning on at all.
- ✔ Malfunctioning radio or infotainment system.
- ✔ False alarms from the security system.
- ✔ Warning lights on the dashboard, such as the airbag or brake light.
- ✔ Problems with the heating and air conditioning controls.
- ✔ Inability for diagnostic tools to communicate with the module.

Installation and Post-Install Steps
On most 2010 GM SUVs like the Escalade, Tahoe, and Yukon, the BCM is located under the driver’s side dashboard, near the steering column. While installation is plug-and-play, some vehicles may require simple relearn procedures after the new module is connected.
- Airbag System Sync: If your airbag warning 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.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: To ensure proper brake light and traction control function, a brake pedal position sensor relearn may be necessary. This can often be done with a high-end diagnostic tool.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for vehicle-specific instructions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to have this BCM programmed?
No. This Body Control Module comes fully programmed to your vehicle’s VIN before we ship it. It is ready for installation right out of the box.
Where is the BCM located on my 2010 Escalade?
The BCM is typically located under the driver’s side of the dashboard, attached to or near the steering column support.
What happens if I forget to provide my VIN?
We cannot program or ship the module without your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. We will contact you after your purchase to retrieve this information to prevent any delays.
Will this part fix my specific electrical problem?
This module corrects issues directly caused by a faulty BCM. If you are experiencing several of the symptoms listed, such as erratic lights, lock, and window behavior, it is highly likely that a failing BCM is the cause.
Is there a core charge for my old part?
No, there is no core charge for this part. You can keep your original module.
What if my airbag light comes on after I install it?
This is a normal possibility. It means the new BCM needs to be electronically introduced to the airbag system. A technician with a professional diagnostic tool will need to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to resolve it.
