Is Your 2010 Escalade ESV Experiencing Strange Electrical Issues?
If your Cadillac Escalade’s lights are flickering, power windows have a mind of their own, or the security system is acting up, you’re likely dealing with a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central nervous system for your vehicle’s comfort and convenience features, managing everything from interior lighting and power locks to the instrument cluster and climate control. When it starts to fail, it can cause a cascade of frustrating and seemingly unrelated electrical problems that can be difficult to diagnose.
Don’t let a faulty BCM compromise the luxury and functionality of your Escalade. This is a direct replacement, VIN-programmed Body Control Module that restores your vehicle’s electronics to perfect working order. We take the guesswork out of the repair by programming the module specifically for your vehicle using the VIN you provide. This ensures seamless integration and communication with all other onboard systems, just like the original part from the factory.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2010 Escalade ESV come into the shop with a laundry list of bizarre symptoms. The radio would turn on and off randomly, the driver’s side power window wouldn’t work, and a ‘Service Theft System’ message kept appearing on the dash. The owner had already replaced the battery and checked all the fuses. After connecting our diagnostic scanner, we saw multiple communication error codes pointing to the BCM. Instead of a dozen separate problems, it was one single point of failure. Installing a VIN-programmed 2010 Escalade Body Control Module cleared every single code and resolved all the issues in one go. It’s a perfect example of how this central computer can cause widespread electrical chaos when it fails.
The Plug-and-Play Solution for Your GM Vehicle
This isn’t just a generic part off the shelf. When you place your order, you provide us with your vehicle’s VIN. Our technicians then flash the module with the latest, most stable software updates directly from GM. This critical step ensures that the BCM is perfectly matched to your Escalade’s specific options and configuration. The result is a simple, plug-and-play installation process that eliminates the need for an expensive trip to the dealership for programming.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Intermittent or non-functional power windows, door locks, or mirrors.
- ✔ Erratic behavior from the instrument cluster, including flickering lights or inaccurate gauges.
- ✔ The security system or keyless entry system malfunctioning or not working at all.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights staying on, not turning on, or flickering unexpectedly.
- ✔ The air conditioning or climate control system not responding to commands.
- ✔ False warning messages on the driver information center (e.g., ‘Service Airbag’, ‘Service Theft System’).
- ✔ Communication errors with other modules when scanned with a diagnostic tool.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Body Control Module (BCM)?
The BCM is a computer in your vehicle responsible for managing a wide array of electronic functions not related to the engine. This includes power windows, door locks, interior and exterior lighting, security systems, wipers, and more. It acts as a central hub for these body electronics.
Why do I need to provide my VIN?
Your vehicle’s Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) contains all the specific information about its factory-installed options. We use your VIN to program the BCM with the exact software and configuration your vehicle needs to function correctly. This makes the installation process plug-and-play and avoids conflicts with other modules.
Is this part difficult to install?
The physical installation is typically straightforward for someone with moderate mechanical skill. The BCM is usually located under the dashboard on the driver’s side. The main challenge with BCM replacement is programming, which we handle for you before shipping. Some vehicles may require a post-installation relearn procedure for systems like the airbags, which may require a professional scan tool.
Do I need to return my old BCM?
No. We do not require a core return for this part. You can keep your original module, which saves you the hassle and cost of return shipping.
What happens if my airbag light comes on after installation?
If the airbag light is on after you install the new BCM, it means the BCM and the SDM (airbag module) need to be electronically synced. A procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ must be performed with a professional-grade diagnostic tool to resolve this.
Will this BCM fit other vehicles besides the 2010 Escalade?
Yes. This BCM, identified by part number 15921353 and its alternates, fits a very wide range of GM trucks, SUVs, and cars from roughly 2006 to 2013. The key is that we program it specifically for the vehicle VIN you provide, ensuring correct operation regardless of the model.
