Restore Full Control Over Your Vehicle’s Electronics
Are you experiencing frustrating electrical problems in your 2010 Cadillac Escalade ESV? Issues like flickering lights, unresponsive power windows and locks, or random warning messages on your dash are often symptoms of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM acts as the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can cause a wide range of confusing and intermittent problems. This replacement BCM is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s functionality and peace of mind.
We had a 2010 Escalade ESV come in with the strangest set of symptoms. The radio would turn off randomly, the driver’s side window wouldn’t go down, and the security light was always on, sometimes preventing the truck from starting. The owner had already replaced the window switch and was about to replace the radio. After a quick network scan, we saw multiple communication codes pointing to one culprit: the BCM. Instead of continuing to replace individual parts, we installed a VIN-programmed BCM. Instantly, all the gremlins disappeared. It’s a classic case of the central nervous system failing, causing what looks like multiple unrelated issues.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Intermittent or non-working power windows, door locks, and mirrors.
- ✔ Erratic behavior from the dashboard, including flickering lights or incorrect gauge readings.
- ✔ Vehicle security system malfunctions, including false alarms or no-start conditions.
- ✔ Interior dome lights, headlights, or taillights not working correctly.
- ✔ Climate control system acting erratically.
- ✔ “Service Stability System” or other warning messages appearing without a clear cause.
Plug-and-Play Solution for Your 2010 Escalade ESV BCM
Forget expensive dealership visits and programming fees. This Body Control Module comes fully programmed to your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We flash it with the latest GM software updates before it ships, ensuring optimal performance and compatibility. This makes installation straightforward. Once you place your order, simply provide us with your VIN, and we’ll handle the complex programming. This is a direct-fit replacement for part number 15872421 and many others.
Important Post-Installation Information
While this module is designed for a simple installation, some vehicle systems may require recalibration after the BCM is replaced. This is a normal part of the process.
- Airbag System Sync: If the 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 your vehicle’s airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: To ensure your brake lights and traction control work as intended, a brake pedal position sensor relearn procedure may be necessary.

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 electronic accessories like power windows, locks, lights, security systems, and climate controls. It’s the brain for your car’s comfort and convenience features.
Is this BCM difficult to install?
The physical installation is typically straightforward, involving unplugging the old module and plugging in the new one. It’s often located under the dashboard. However, as noted, some post-installation electronic procedures may be required with a professional scan tool.
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 order until we receive the VIN, as we need it to program the module specifically for your vehicle.
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 common security feature. The new BCM needs to be electronically introduced to the airbag system (SDM). This requires a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure, which can be done by a repair shop with a professional-grade diagnostic tool.
