Restore Full Electrical Function to Your GM Vehicle
Are you battling strange and frustrating electrical problems in your 2010 Cadillac Escalade or another compatible GM vehicle? Issues like flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows and locks, or a security system that acts on its own are often signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can cause a cascade of confusing and seemingly unrelated symptoms. This replacement BCM, part number 15872388, is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s electronic stability and performance.
We had a 2010 Escalade come in with a laundry list of complaints from the owner. The dome lights would stay on, the driver’s side window wouldn’t go down, and the radio would randomly shut off. The customer had already spent a small fortune chasing down individual component failures with no luck. After connecting our diagnostic scanner, we saw multiple communication errors pointing directly to the BCM. Instead of more guesswork, we installed a VIN-programmed BCM like this one. In under an hour, every single one of the ghost-like electrical issues was gone. It’s a reminder that sometimes the most complex problems have a single, central solution.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- โ Erratic or non-functional interior and exterior lights.
- โ Power windows, door locks, or mirrors not working correctly.
- โ Security system faults or alarm sounding unexpectedly.
- โ Instrument cluster gauges behaving erratically or not working at all.
- โ Warning lights (like the airbag light) illuminating on the dash.
- โ Key fob not being recognized or intermittent remote start issues.
- โ Communication errors with diagnostic scan tools.
Plug-and-Play 2010 Escalade Body Control Module
Forget expensive dealership visits and complicated programming procedures. We make the replacement process simple. When you purchase this 2010 Escalade Body Control Module, you provide us with your vehicle’s VIN. Our technicians will then flash the module with the latest official GM software specific to your vehicle’s configuration. This ensures that when the part arrives, it’s ready for installation right out of the box. This pre-programming is crucial for a seamless repair, saving you time, money, and the headache of needing specialized tools.
Important Post-Installation Steps
While this BCM is designed for a straightforward installation, some vehicles may require additional steps to ensure all systems communicate correctly. Please be aware of the following potential procedures:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is on 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: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be required to ensure proper brake light and traction control functionality.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance specific to your vehicle.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Body Control Module (BCM) do?
The BCM acts as the central computer for your vehicle’s body electronics. It controls non-engine related functions like power windows, locks, lights, security system, wipers, and instrument panel functions.
Is this part difficult to install?
For someone with moderate DIY mechanical skill, the physical replacement is typically straightforward, often located under the dash. Since we program it to your VIN, no further programming is needed, making it a plug-and-play solution. However, some vehicles may require a simple relearn procedure as noted in the description.
How do I provide my VIN for programming?
After you complete your purchase, you will receive instructions on how to send us your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. We cannot ship your part until we receive this information, as it is essential for the programming service.
Do I need to return my old BCM?
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 can happen on some models. It means the new BCM needs to be electronically introduced to the airbag system (SDM). A repair shop with a professional-grade scan tool can perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to resolve this.
Will this fix all of my vehicle’s electrical problems?
This BCM will resolve issues directly caused by a faulty module. While it fixes a wide range of common electrical symptoms, it’s important to ensure the BCM is the root cause of your problem. Proper diagnosis is always recommended.
