Are you battling bizarre electrical issues in your 2010 GMC Yukon or another compatible GM vehicle? A failing Body Control Module (BCM) is often the culprit behind a host of frustrating problems, from flickering lights to a no-start condition. The BCM acts as the central nervous system for your vehicle’s body electronics, managing everything from your power windows and locks to the security system. When it fails, it can make your vehicle feel haunted.
This is a direct-fit replacement Body Control Module, part number 25826125, that restores full functionality to your vehicle’s systems. We take the hassle out of the repair by programming the module specifically to your vehicle’s VIN before it ships. This means no expensive trips to the dealership for programming—it arrives ready for installation. Simply provide your VIN after purchase, and we’ll handle the rest, loading it with the latest GM software updates for optimal performance and reliability.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We recently had a 2010 Tahoe come into the shop with a list of strange symptoms: the radio would turn on by itself, the dome lights would flicker randomly, and the key fob worked intermittently. The owner had already replaced the battery, assuming it was a power supply issue. A quick scan with a professional tool revealed multiple communication error codes, all pointing back to a faulty BCM. After installing a VIN-programmed module just like this one, every single phantom electrical problem vanished. It’s a common failure, but thankfully, a straightforward fix with the right part.
Common Symptoms of a Failing 2010 Yukon Body Control Module
- ✔ Power windows, door locks, or mirrors operating intermittently or not at all.
- ✔ Interior dome lights or exterior lamps flickering, staying on, or not turning on.
- ✔ Instrument cluster gauges behaving erratically or going dead.
- ✔ “Service Theft System,” “Service Stabilitrak,” or other warnings on the driver information center.
- ✔ The engine won’t crank or start due to a security system fault (Passlock/Passkey issue).
- ✔ A/C and climate control functions not working correctly.
- ✔ Complete loss of communication with the BCM when using a diagnostic scan tool.
Installation and Post-Install Notes:
Replacing the BCM is a manageable task for a DIYer with basic tools. On most compatible trucks and SUVs like the Yukon, it’s located under the driver’s side dash. After installation, while the module is plug-and-play, some vehicles may require additional relearn procedures. For instance, if your airbag light is on, a “Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM” procedure may be needed with a high-end scan tool. Similarly, a “Brake Pedal Position Relearn” might be necessary to ensure proper brake light and traction control function. Always consult a factory service manual for your specific vehicle.
This module is a reliable solution to restore your vehicle’s electronic systems to factory-perfect operation. Don’t let a faulty BCM control your driving experience. Order today and get your vehicle back to normal.
