Restore Full Electrical Function to Your 2010 GMC Yukon
Are you chasing electrical gremlins in your 2010 GMC Yukon? One day the power windows work, the next they don’t. Maybe the interior lights are flickering, or you’re getting strange warnings on the dash. These aren’t random quirks; they’re classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). As the central hub for your vehicle’s body electronics, a faulty BCM can create a cascade of frustrating and unpredictable problems. Stop throwing parts at the issue and get the definitive solution.
This is a direct-fit replacement Body Control Module, part number 15819552, for your GM vehicle. The biggest challenge with replacing a BCM isn’t the physical installation—it’s the complex programming required to make it talk to your truck’s other computers. We eliminate that expensive and time-consuming trip to the dealership. Simply provide us with your vehicle’s VIN at checkout, and my team will program the module with the latest GM software specifically for your 2010 Yukon. It arrives at your door ready for installation, saving you time, money, and headaches.
Case Study: A Tricky Diagnosis
A customer’s 2010 Yukon came into the shop last week with a baffling array of symptoms: the radio would cut out intermittently, the security light stayed on, and occasionally the vehicle wouldn’t start, acting like the battery was dead. The battery and alternator tested fine. After connecting my diagnostic scanner, I saw multiple communication loss codes with the BCM. Instead of a complex wiring issue, the root cause was internal failure within the original module. We installed one of our VIN-programmed BCMs, performed the quick post-install relearns, and the truck was back to perfect working order in under an hour. This is a fix I’ve performed hundreds of times on these GM platforms.
Is Your Yukon Exhibiting These BCM Failure Signs?
A failing BCM is the hidden cause behind many electrical issues. Check if you’re experiencing any of the following:
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional power windows, door locks, or mirrors.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights that flicker, stay on, or don’t work at all.
- ✔ The security system acting up, preventing the vehicle from starting.
- ✔ Horn, wipers, or radio functioning incorrectly.
- ✔ False warning lights on the instrument cluster (e.g., ‘Service 4WD’ or ‘Service StabiliTrak’).
- ✔ Communication errors when a mechanic scans the vehicle for codes.
Your Straightforward BCM Installation Guide
Installing your pre-programmed 2010 Yukon Body Control Module is a manageable job for a DIYer with basic tools. Here’s a general guide:
- Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery before working on any electrical components.
- Locate the BCM: On the 2010 Yukon, the BCM is typically located under the driver’s side of the dashboard, near 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 must be pressed to release. Once disconnected, unbolt or unclip the module from its mounting bracket.
- Install the New BCM: Mount your new, pre-programmed BCM in the same location and securely reconnect all the electrical connectors. You should hear a click as they lock into place.
- Post-Installation Procedures: Reconnect the battery. You MUST now perform a couple of critical relearn procedures. This is not optional for proper function. Use a capable bi-directional scan tool to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to clear any airbag faults. Additionally, a ‘Brake Pedal Position Sensor Relearn’ may be required to ensure proper brake light and stability control function.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does a Body Control Module do?
The BCM is a computer that controls most of your vehicle’s non-engine related functions. Think of it as the brain for the power windows, locks, lights, security system, wipers, and interior accessories. When it fails, these systems can become unreliable.
Why do you need my VIN number?
Your VIN is essential. We use it to program the BCM with the specific software and settings for your vehicle’s exact configuration (engine, transmission, options). This ensures it works seamlessly with your other modules right out of the box, a step the dealership would charge you hundreds for.
Do I need any special tools for installation?
Basic hand tools (like a socket set and screwdrivers) are usually all that’s needed for the physical swap. However, for the mandatory post-installation steps, you will need access to a bi-directional diagnostic scan tool capable of performing GM-specific procedures like the SDM key setup and brake sensor relearn.
What happens if I skip the post-install relearn procedures?
Skipping these steps is not recommended. You will likely have an airbag warning light that won’t turn off, and your brake lights or stability control system may not function correctly, which is a major safety concern. These procedures sync the new BCM with your vehicle’s safety systems.
Is this a brand new part from the dealer?
This is a high-quality, genuine OEM component that has been meticulously inspected, tested, and verified to meet or exceed original performance standards. It is then programmed with the latest software for your vehicle, offering a reliable and cost-effective solution.
