Is Your 2010 Escalade Suffering from Electrical Gremlins?
If you’re dealing with baffling electrical issues in your 2010 Cadillac Escalade—like power windows that won’t cooperate, door locks with a mind of their own, or dashboard lights flickering randomly—the root cause is often a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM acts as the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it starts to malfunction, it can create a cascade of frustrating and unpredictable problems. Don’t let a faulty module compromise the luxury and functionality of your Escalade. This is a direct-fit, professionally programmed replacement BCM designed to restore your vehicle’s performance and reliability.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2010 Escalade come into the shop with a list of complaints that seemed completely unrelated. The interior dome lights would stay on intermittently, the radio would sometimes refuse to turn off after the key was removed, and the remote keyless entry worked only half the time. The owner had already replaced the battery and checked all the fuses. After connecting our scan tool, we noticed communication errors with multiple systems, all pointing back to a single source. We swapped in a programmed BCM, and instantly, every single issue vanished. It’s a perfect example of how this one central module can cause widespread electronic chaos when it fails.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional power windows, door locks, and mirrors.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights staying on, flickering, or not working at all.
- ✔ Malfunctioning windshield wipers or climate control systems.
- ✔ Issues with the security system, including false alarms or key fob problems.
- ✔ Warning lights appearing on the dashboard without a clear cause.
- ✔ Intermittent starting problems or a no-start condition.
The Simple, Plug-and-Play Solution for Your 2010 Escalade Body Control Module
Forget about expensive dealership visits and the hassle of finding a local shop to program a new module. We make the process simple. When you order from us, you provide your vehicle’s VIN. Our technicians then program this BCM with the latest GM factory software specific to your Escalade’s exact configuration.

The module arrives at your door ready for installation, with no additional programming required. Plus, there is no core charge, so you can keep your old part.
Post-Installation Procedures
While this BCM is designed for a straightforward installation, some GM vehicles may require simple relearn procedures after the new module is connected. These are standard steps to ensure all related vehicle systems are properly synchronized.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure must be performed with a professional-grade scan tool. This is only necessary if the light is on.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration might be needed to ensure proper function of the brake lights and traction control system.
Please note: Specific procedures can vary. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to have this BCM programmed by a dealer?
No. We handle all the programming for you before we ship the part. Simply provide us with your vehicle’s VIN during checkout, and the module will arrive ready to install and function correctly with your vehicle’s specific options.
Where is the BCM located on a 2010 Escalade?
On the 2010 Cadillac Escalade, the Body Control Module is typically located under the steering column, accessible from the driver’s side footwell area. You may need to remove a lower dash panel to gain access.
Will this fix my key fob and security system issues?
Yes, in many cases. The BCM is integral to the vehicle’s security and keyless entry systems. If your current BCM is faulty, replacing it with this pre-programmed unit is a very common and effective way to resolve those problems.
Is this a simple DIY installation?
For someone with moderate mechanical skill, the physical installation is straightforward. It involves disconnecting the battery, accessing the old module, swapping the electrical connectors to the new one, and mounting it in place. However, some vehicles may require post-installation relearn procedures that need a professional scan tool.
What is a core charge?
A core charge is a deposit that is returned to you when you send back your old part. This part has no core charge, which means you do not need to return your original module, saving you time and shipping costs.
