Are you battling frustrating electrical problems in your GM vehicle? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, or random warning messages on your dash are common signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can cause a wide range of confusing and intermittent issues. This replacement Body Control Module, compatible with part number 10382479, is the direct-fit solution to restore your vehicle’s functionality and peace of mind.
We make the repair process simple. Unlike a trip to the dealership, which involves towing, high labor costs, and programming fees, our BCM arrives at your door pre-programmed to your vehicle’s specific VIN. We install the latest GM software updates, ensuring optimal performance and compatibility. Simply provide your VIN after purchase, and we handle the complex programming for you, making installation as straightforward as possible.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2010 Yukon come in with the strangest symptoms. The owner said the radio would sometimes change stations on its own, the driver’s side window wouldn’t roll down, and the security light would stay on, preventing the truck from starting. He’d already replaced the battery and checked all the fuses. After connecting our scan tool, we saw multiple communication loss codes with various modules. This pointed directly to the central hub โ the BCM. We installed a VIN-programmed module, and instantly, all the gremlins vanished. It’s a perfect example of how one failing component can create a cascade of seemingly unrelated problems.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- โ Erratic or non-functional power windows, door locks, and interior/exterior lighting.
- โ Unpredictable windshield wiper or horn operation.
- โ Instrument cluster warning lights (like ‘Service Stability System’ or ‘Security’) illuminating for no reason.
- โ Intermittent no-start or hard-starting conditions.
- โ Problems with the keyless entry or remote start systems.
- โ Diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) related to communication loss (U-codes).

This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a complete, ready-to-install solution. By programming the module to your VIN before shipping, we eliminate the need for expensive dealer-specific tools and procedures. This 2010 Yukon Body Control Module is tested to ensure it meets or exceeds original equipment standards. You get a reliable part that restores function without the typical dealership hassle.
Installation and Post-Install Procedures
While the physical installation is often a simple swap, some vehicles may require additional steps to ensure all systems communicate correctly after the new BCM is in place.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is on after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure is needed. This requires a professional-grade scan tool to sync the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration might be necessary to ensure correct brake light and traction control operation.
Disclaimer: Specific procedures can vary by vehicle. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Body Control Module do?
The BCM acts as the brain for your vehicle’s body electronics. It controls non-engine related functions like power windows, locks, lights, wipers, security systems, and more.
Is this part difficult to install?
The physical replacement is typically straightforward, often located under the dash. However, as our module comes pre-programmed, you save the most difficult step. Some vehicles may require a simple relearn procedure after installation, as noted in the description.
What do I need to do after I order?
After you complete your purchase, you must provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. We cannot program and ship your module without it. This ensures the BCM is correctly configured for your vehicle’s specific options.
Do I need to send my old BCM back?
No, there is no core charge for this module. You can keep your original part.
Will this fix my specific problem?
This module will correct issues directly caused by a faulty BCM. If you are experiencing symptoms from the list above, there is a very high probability this will solve your problem. Proper vehicle diagnosis is always recommended.
What if my airbag light turns on after I install it?
This is a known possibility. It simply means the new BCM needs to be electronically introduced to the airbag system. A technician with a capable scan tool can perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to resolve this.
