Are you experiencing frustrating electrical issues with your Cadillac Escalade or other GM vehicle? A faulty Body Control Module (BCM) is often the culprit behind a host of problems that can seem random and unrelated. The BCM acts as the central nervous system for your vehicle’s body electronics, controlling everything from your interior lights and power windows to the security system. When it fails, it can make your vehicle feel unreliable and difficult to operate.
This is a direct replacement Body Control Module, part number 25826124, that arrives at your door programmed and ready for installation. We take your vehicle’s VIN and flash the module with the latest software updates directly from GM. This eliminates the need for expensive dealership programming, saving you time and money. Simply provide your VIN after purchase, and we’ll handle the rest, ensuring a seamless plug-and-play solution.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional interior and exterior lights.
- ✔ Power windows, door locks, or mirrors operating incorrectly.
- ✔ The security system engaging randomly or preventing the car from starting.
- ✔ The instrument cluster displaying false warnings or acting erratically.
- ✔ Issues with the radio or climate control system.
- ✔ A complete no-start condition where the vehicle does not recognize the key.
- ✔ Battery drain while the vehicle is off.
Installing Your Programmed 2010 Escalade BCM
Because this module is pre-programmed to your vehicle’s specific VIN, installation is straightforward for a DIY mechanic or any professional technician. In most cases, it is a plug-and-play process. However, depending on your specific model and options, some minor post-installation procedures may be required to sync the new module with other systems in your vehicle.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ must be performed with a professional-grade scan tool. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: Some models may require a brake pedal position sensor relearn to ensure the brake lights and traction control system function correctly.
Disclaimer: Specific procedures can vary by vehicle. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a BCM and what does it do?
The Body Control Module (BCM) is a computer in your vehicle that manages and controls many of the electronic accessories, such as power windows, locks, lights, wipers, and the security system.
How do I provide my VIN for programming?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We will then program the module with the latest GM software specific to your vehicle before shipping it.
Is this BCM difficult to install?
For most models, it’s a plug-and-play installation. The BCM is typically located under the dash. While the physical replacement is straightforward, some vehicles may require a simple relearn procedure for certain systems, as noted in the description.
Do I need to send my old BCM back?
No, there is no core charge for this part. You can keep your original module.
What if my airbag light is on after installation?
This is a known possibility. It means the new BCM needs to be electronically introduced to the airbag system (SDM). A technician with a professional scan tool will need to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to resolve this.
Will this part fix my vehicle’s specific problem?
This module will correct any issues directly caused by a failing BCM. If you are experiencing symptoms like erratic lights, lock, or window operation, this is very likely the solution. However, proper vehicle diagnosis is always recommended to confirm the BCM is the source of the fault.
