Is your 2010 Cadillac Escalade EXT suffering from strange and unpredictable electrical problems? A failing Body Control Module (BCM) is often the culprit. The BCM acts as the central command center for your truck’s body electronics, controlling everything from the power windows and locks to the interior lights and security system. When it fails, it can cause a cascade of frustrating issues that are difficult to diagnose.
This is a direct-replacement Body Control Module for your Escalade EXT, delivered pre-programmed to your vehicle’s specific VIN. We flash the unit with the latest official GM software updates before it ships, ensuring it integrates seamlessly with your vehicle’s existing systems. This eliminates the need for expensive and time-consuming programming at a dealership. Simply provide your VIN at checkout, and we’ll handle the rest, getting you a part that’s ready for installation right out of the box.
Common Symptoms of a Failing 2010 Escalade EXT BCM
If you’re experiencing any of the following issues, a faulty BCM could be the cause. A proper diagnosis is always recommended, but these are strong indicators:
- ✔ Power windows, door locks, or mirrors working intermittently or not at all.
- ✔ Interior dome lights, headlights, or taillights staying on or not turning on.
- ✔ The security system acting up, causing no-start conditions or false alarms.
- ✔ Erratic behavior from the dashboard gauges or warning lights.
- ✔ HVAC (climate control) system not responding to commands.
- ✔ Radio or infotainment system randomly shutting off or malfunctioning.

Please verify your original part number against our cross-reference list to confirm compatibility.
Installation & Post-Install Procedures
While this part is designed for a direct fit, some vehicle systems may require a recalibration or ‘relearn’ procedure after the new BCM is installed. This is a normal part of the repair process. Common procedures include:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is on after installation, a professional scan tool is needed to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to sync the modules.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: A brake pedal position sensor relearn might be necessary to ensure correct brake light and traction control operation.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for vehicle-specific instructions.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Body Control Module (BCM)?
The BCM is a computer in your vehicle responsible for managing non-engine related functions, such as power windows, locks, lights, security, wipers, and the climate control system.
Why do you need my VIN?
We use your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to load the exact software and settings for your 2010 Escalade EXT’s specific features. This makes the module ready to install and function correctly without requiring a trip to the dealership for programming.
Is this part difficult to install?
The physical replacement is typically straightforward for someone with moderate mechanical skill, as the BCM is usually located under the steering column. However, as noted, some post-installation electronic ‘relearn’ procedures may be required with a diagnostic tool.
Will this fix my specific electrical problem?
If your vehicle’s issues have been correctly diagnosed as a faulty BCM, this part is the solution. It resolves problems caused by an internal failure of the original module. We always recommend confirming the diagnosis before purchase.
My original part number is different. Will this still work?
Yes, this BCM replaces many different GM part numbers. Please review the comprehensive list of compatible part numbers in the product details to ensure your original module’s number is listed.
