Restore Your Yukon’s Electrical System with a Reliable, Programmed BCM
Are you dealing with bizarre electrical problems in your 2010 GMC Yukon? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows or locks, strange dash warnings, or even a no-start condition can often be traced back to a single culprit: a failing Body Control Module (BCM). As the central hub for your vehicle’s body electronics, when the BCM starts to go, it can create a cascade of frustrating and unpredictable issues. This isn’t just an annoyance; it’s a matter of reliability and safety.
This replacement Body Control Module, part number 15819552, is the definitive solution. Forget about expensive dealership visits and the hassle of finding a shop with the right equipment to program a new module. We offer a comprehensive Cloning Service. Simply send us your original BCM, and we will transfer all the essential vehicle-specific data to this fully tested replacement unit. We then flash it with the latest GM-approved software for your VIN. This process ensures that your vehicle’s security information, options, and mileage data are preserved, making for a seamless, plug-and-play installation.
A Technician’s Notebook: The Phantom Drain Mystery
I once had a 2010 Yukon in my bay that was a real head-scratcher. The owner complained of a dead battery every few days and power door locks that worked intermittently. We checked the battery and alternator—both were fine. A parasitic draw test showed a significant current pull even after the vehicle was off for 30 minutes. After methodically pulling fuses, we isolated the draw to the BCM circuit. The internal relays were sticking, keeping certain systems awake long after they should have powered down. Swapping in a properly programmed BCM didn’t just fix the door locks; it eliminated the battery drain completely. It’s a classic example of how a single module can cause multiple, seemingly unrelated problems.
Is Your GM Vehicle Showing These Symptoms?
A faulty BCM can manifest in many ways. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is likely the fix you need. In my shop, these are the tell-tale signs I look for:
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional power windows, door locks, and interior/exterior lights.
- ✔ The security light stays on, or the vehicle won’t start (anti-theft system engaged).
- ✔ False warnings on the dashboard, such as “Service StabiliTrak” or “Service Airbag.”
- ✔ Gauges on the instrument cluster behaving erratically or not working at all.
- ✔ Communication-related Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs), especially U-codes (e.g., U0140, U0155) stored in the system.
- ✔ The radio or climate control system turns on and off by itself.
A Straightforward Guide to Your BCM Installation
Installing your programmed 2010 Yukon Body Control Module is a manageable job for a confident DIYer or any professional technician. The key is our cloning service, which handles the difficult programming part for you.
- Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery and wait a few minutes before starting work.
- Locate the BCM: On the 2010 Yukon and similar GM trucks/SUVs, the BCM is typically located under the driver’s side of the dashboard, to the left of the steering column.
- 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 Replacement: Mount the new BCM in the same location and securely plug in all the electrical connectors. You’ll hear a click when they are properly seated.
- Reconnect and Test: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Turn the key to the ‘On’ position and test all body functions—lights, locks, windows, radio, etc.—to ensure everything is working correctly.
- Post-Installation Procedures: In some cases, additional steps may be needed. If your airbag light is on, a professional scan tool is required to perform the “Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM” procedure. A Brake Pedal Position Relearn may also be necessary for proper brake light and traction control operation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do you need my VIN and my old BCM?
We use your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to load the correct, factory-newest software from GM for your specific vehicle build. We use your old BCM to perform a cloning service, which transfers critical security and configuration data. This combination ensures the replacement module works perfectly without needing a trip to the dealer for expensive programming.
What happens to my original BCM?
Your original module is always returned to you along with the programmed replacement unit. We do not keep it. This is not a core exchange program.
Is this a difficult part to install myself?
For someone with basic mechanical skills, the physical swap is straightforward. The BCM is usually held in by a few bolts or clips and has several plug-in connectors. Since we handle all the programming, you avoid the most complex part of the job. Please see our installation guide above.
Will I need special tools after installation?
Typically, no special tools are needed. However, as noted, some vehicles may require a professional scan tool to perform an “Airbag System Sync” or “Brake Pedal Position Relearn” if related warning lights appear after installation. This is not always required but is a possibility.
Is this a permanent fix for my electrical problems?
Yes, if the BCM is the root cause of your issues. Our modules are thoroughly tested to meet or exceed original specifications, providing a lasting and reliable solution to common BCM-related failures.
