Is Your 2010 Escalade ESV Experiencing Strange Electrical Problems?
The Body Control Module, or BCM, is the central command center for your vehicle’s electronic accessories. It manages everything from your power windows and door locks to the interior lights, security system, and horn. When the BCM begins to fail, it can cause a wide range of confusing and frustrating symptoms that can be difficult to diagnose. If your Escalade is acting possessed, a faulty BCM is a very likely culprit.
This is a direct-fit replacement Body Control Module for your 2010 Cadillac Escalade ESV. To make your repair as simple as possible, we program the module to your vehicle’s specific VIN before shipping. This eliminates the need for an expensive trip to the dealership for programming and allows for a much simpler installation process. Just provide your VIN at checkout, and we’ll handle the rest.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2010 Escalade ESV in the shop that was giving its owner fits. The main complaint was a dead battery every morning. On top of that, the dome lights would sometimes flicker while driving, and the power locks worked intermittently. The owner had already replaced the battery and alternator with no success. After running a parasitic draw test, we traced the power drain to the BCM circuit. The module wasn’t properly going to ‘sleep’ when the vehicle was off, causing a slow but steady drain. Installing a new, correctly programmed BCM solved the battery drain and all the other ghost-like electrical issues instantly.
Common Symptoms of a Failing 2010 Escalade Body Control Module
- ✔ Power windows, mirrors, or door locks operating erratically or not at all.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights staying on, flickering, or failing to turn on.
- ✔ The security system light is on, or the alarm randomly goes off.
- ✔ The horn honks unexpectedly or doesn’t work when pressed.
- ✔ Unexplained battery drain that kills your battery overnight.
- ✔ The instrument cluster displays incorrect information or warning lights.
- ✔ Intermittent no-start conditions where the engine cranks but won’t fire up.
Plug & Play Solution
Your new BCM arrives ready to install. Since we flash it with the latest GM software matched to your VIN, you can avoid the complex and costly programming procedures required by the dealer. While the physical installation is straightforward for a DIYer with moderate experience, please be aware of potential post-installation steps. Depending on your vehicle’s specific configuration, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ or a ‘Brake Pedal Position Relearn’ may be necessary using a professional scan tool if you see an airbag light or experience brake system issues. There is no core charge for this part; you can keep your old module.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to get this BCM programmed by a dealer?
No. We program the module to your vehicle’s VIN before we ship it to you. It arrives ready for installation, saving you time and money.
How do I provide my VIN?
You will be prompted to enter your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN during the checkout process. You can also send it to us with your order number after purchase.
Is this a difficult part to install?
The BCM is typically located under the driver’s side dashboard. For someone with basic mechanical skills, it’s a matter of disconnecting the battery, removing a few trim panels, and swapping the module. However, always consult a service manual for your specific vehicle.
What if my airbag light is on after I install it?
In some cases, the new BCM needs to be synced with the airbag system (SDM). This requires a professional scan tool to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to clear the light.
Is there a core charge?
No, there is no core charge. You are not required to send your old BCM back to us.
Will this fix the battery drain in my Escalade?
A faulty BCM is a very common cause of parasitic battery drain in these vehicles. While we cannot guarantee it will solve every issue, if the BCM is the source of the drain, this replacement part will correct the problem.
