Restore Full Functionality to Your GM Vehicle with a Perfectly Matched BCM
Are you battling frustrating electrical problems in your 2010 GMC Yukon? Issues like flickering interior lights, unresponsive power windows and locks, a security light that won’t turn off, or a vehicle that refuses to start are classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). As the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics, a faulty BCM can create a cascade of seemingly unrelated problems. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it can compromise your vehicle’s safety and reliability. Stop chasing electrical gremlins and get the definitive solution.
This is a direct-fit replacement Body Control Module, part number 15299986, for your 2010 Yukon and a wide range of other GM vehicles. The best part? We eliminate the dealership hassle and programming headaches. With our professional cloning service, we transfer the critical data from your original BCM to this replacement unit. This ensures that your vehicle’s specific options, key programming, and security information are perfectly preserved. The result is a truly plug-and-play module, ready for installation right out of the box.
From the Diagnostic Bay: A Common GM Electrical Puzzle
Just last month, a 2010 Yukon XL was towed to my shop. The owner was at his wit’s end. The radio would turn on and off by itself, the driver’s side power window was dead, and the anti-theft light was flashing, causing an intermittent no-start condition. He had already replaced the battery and checked all the fuses. A quick scan with a pro-level tool revealed a slew of U-codes (communication loss) pointing to the BCM. These modules are often susceptible to failure from voltage spikes or, more commonly, internal corrosion from moisture that gets past the cowl or A-pillar seals. Instead of a costly and time-consuming dealer replacement and re-program, we used a cloned BCM. We transferred his original data, and within an hour of the part’s arrival, the Yukon was fully functional—no relearns needed, no more electrical chaos. It’s the most efficient and reliable fix for these symptoms.
Is Your Vehicle Showing These Signs of BCM Failure?
- ✔ Intermittent or non-functional power windows, door locks, or mirrors.
- ✔ Erratic or non-working interior and exterior lighting.
- ✔ The security or anti-theft light stays on, preventing the engine from starting.
- ✔ Inconsistent or inaccurate gauge cluster readings.
- ✔ Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) related to communication loss, such as U0140, U0155, or other U-codes.
- ✔ Horn, wipers, or radio functioning unpredictably.
- ✔ Key fobs that suddenly stop working.
A Straightforward Guide to BCM Installation
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery and wait a few minutes to ensure all systems are powered down.
- Locate the BCM: On most GM trucks and SUVs like the 2010 Yukon, the Body Control Module is located under the driver’s side of the dashboard, often to the left of the steering column. You may need to remove a lower dash panel for access.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors from the old BCM. They have locking tabs that need to be depressed. Once disconnected, unbolt or unclip the module from its mounting bracket.
- Install the New Module: Mount your new, pre-programmed BCM in the same location and securely reconnect all electrical connectors. You should hear a ‘click’ as they lock into place.
- Reconnect and Test: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Turn the key to the ‘On’ position and test all body functions—windows, locks, lights, wipers, etc.—to confirm the repair was successful.
Important Post-Installation Notes
While our cloning service makes this a plug-and-play process, some vehicle systems may require a simple recalibration after the BCM is replaced. Please be aware of the following:
- Airbag System Sync: In some cases, the airbag warning light may illuminate after installation. This indicates the BCM and the Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM) need to be re-synced. A procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ must be performed with a compatible high-end scan tool.
- Brake Pedal Position (BPP) Relearn: You may need to perform a BPP sensor relearn to ensure correct brake light operation and stability control function. This is also done with a diagnostic tool.
Disclaimer: Vehicle systems vary. Always refer to a factory service manual for procedures specific to your make and model.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does the Body Control Module do?
The BCM is a computer that manages and controls many of your vehicle’s non-engine-related electronic functions. This includes power windows, locks, interior/exterior lighting, wipers, the security system, and the instrument cluster.
Why is your cloning service the best option for my 2010 Yukon Body Control Module?
Our cloning service copies the exact software and vehicle-specific data (like key information and optional features) from your old module to the new one. This makes the replacement plug-and-play, saving you from expensive and complicated programming procedures at a dealership.
Do I have to send you my original BCM?
Yes. For the cloning service to work, we need your original module to extract the necessary data. We will perform the service and ship both your original and the newly programmed replacement module back to you promptly.
What if the airbag light is on after I install the new BCM?
This is a known possibility. It means the BCM and the airbag module (SDM) need to be electronically re-introduced. A technician with a professional scan tool can perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to resolve this.
Can I install this part myself if I have basic tools?
Yes, for many DIYers, this is a manageable job. The BCM is typically accessible under the dash. As long as you are comfortable with disconnecting the battery and removing a few trim panels, you can physically swap the module. The cloning service handles the software side for you.
