Are you dealing with perplexing electrical issues in your 2010 Cadillac Escalade? Symptoms like erratic power windows, malfunctioning interior lights, a faulty security system, or even a no-start condition can often be traced back to a single component: the Body Control Module (BCM). As the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics, a failing BCM can create a cascade of frustrating problems. This replacement Body Control Module, part number 15276271, is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s functionality and peace of mind.
This isn’t just a part; it’s a complete, ready-to-install solution. We pre-program the module to your vehicle’s specific VIN before shipping, loading it with the latest software updates from GM. This critical step ensures seamless integration with your Escalade’s existing systems, saving you the time, expense, and hassle of a dealership visit for programming.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2010 Yukon Denali (which uses a similar BCM) come into the shop with the strangest collection of symptoms. The radio would turn on and off by itself, the driver’s side power window worked intermittently, and the remote key fob was unresponsive. The owner had already replaced the battery and checked all the fuses. After connecting our diagnostic tool, we saw multiple communication errors pointing towards the BCM. Instead of a complex wiring issue, the fix was a straightforward, VIN-programmed 2010 Escalade Body Control Module. It’s a perfect example of how one central component can cause widespread, seemingly unrelated electrical chaos.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional power windows, door locks, and mirrors.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights staying on or not turning on at all.
- ✔ The security system acting up, or the vehicle not recognizing the key fob.
- ✔ Unexplained battery drain when the vehicle is off.
- ✔ Warning lights appearing on the dashboard, such as the airbag or service vehicle light.
- ✔ The engine cranks but refuses to start due to a security system fault.

Post-Installation Notes
While this module is designed for easy installation, some vehicles may require simple relearn procedures after the BCM is installed. These are not signs of a faulty part but are standard vehicle security and safety handshakes.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure is needed. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system and requires a professional-grade scan tool.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be necessary to ensure correct brake light operation and to satisfy the traction control system.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician if you are unsure about any step of the installation or post-installation process.
