Restore Your GM’s Electrical System with a Plug-and-Play Solution
Is your 2010 GMC Yukon or other GM vehicle acting possessed? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows and locks, a security system that won’t cooperate, or even a frustrating no-start condition are all classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). As the central hub for your vehicle’s body electronics, when the BCM goes down, it can create a cascade of confusing and unpredictable problems. Don’t let electrical gremlins keep you off the road. This is a direct, reliable solution to get your vehicle back to 100% factory operation.
This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a complete service. We take your vehicle’s unique identity and transfer it to a fully functional replacement BCM. By providing us with your original module, we perform a professional cloning service, copying all the critical data—including your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), mileage, and specific equipment options—to the new unit. The result is a truly plug-and-play module that eliminates the need for expensive dealership programming or complex scan tool procedures. You get your original module back along with the ready-to-install replacement.
Common Signs of BCM Failure
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional interior and exterior lights (headlights, dome lights, dash lights).
- ✔ Power windows, door locks, or mirrors working intermittently or not at all.
- ✔ Vehicle’s security system engaging randomly or preventing the engine from starting.
- ✔ The horn sounding unexpectedly or not working when pressed.
- ✔ Multiple, unrelated warning lights on the dashboard.
- ✔ Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) related to communication errors, such as U0140 (Lost Communication With Body Control Module).
- ✔ Rapid battery drain while the vehicle is parked, caused by the BCM failing to let other modules go to ‘sleep’.
A Technician’s Notebook
I remember a 2010 Yukon that came into my bay with a complaint of the battery dying overnight. The owner had already replaced the battery and alternator, but the problem persisted. A parasitic draw test showed a significant drain coming from the BCM circuit. The module simply wasn’t shutting down properly. Instead of a complicated and costly dealer replacement, we performed a cloning service just like this one. The customer swapped the module in the parking lot in 15 minutes. The draw was gone, and the truck started reliably every time. It’s a perfect example of how the right part and service saves time, money, and a lot of diagnostic headaches.
Your Straightforward BCM Swap Guide
- ✔ Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery before beginning any electrical work.
- ✔ Locate the BCM: On most 2010 Yukon models and similar SUVs/trucks, the BCM is located under the driver’s side of the dashboard, near the steering column. For vans and other models, it may be in the center dash area.
- ✔ Remove Trim Panels: You may need to remove a lower dash panel or knee bolster to gain access. These are typically held in by a few screws or clips.
- ✔ Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors from the old BCM. They have locking tabs that must be depressed. Once disconnected, unbolt 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.
- ✔ Final Steps: Reinstall any trim panels you removed and reconnect the negative battery terminal. Start the vehicle and test all functions (lights, locks, windows, etc.).
Important Post-Installation Information
Our cloning service makes this process as simple as possible. However, due to the complex nature of modern vehicle systems, a couple of additional steps may be required in specific situations:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a professional scan tool is needed to perform the “Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM” procedure. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: In some cases, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be needed to ensure flawless operation of the brake lights and stability control systems.
Disclaimer: Vehicle systems vary. Always refer to a factory service manual or consult with a qualified mechanic if you are unsure about any step.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the cloning service work?
After you place your order, you will ship your original BCM to us. We use specialized equipment to extract the essential data (VIN, options, mileage) and flash it onto the replacement module. We then ship both your original module and the ready-to-install replacement back to you.
Do I need to do any programming myself?
No. The purpose of our cloning service is to handle all the programming for you. The module you receive will be plug-and-play, with no dealer intervention required for most functions.
Why is cloning better than just buying a used BCM?
A standard used BCM will have the VIN and options from a different vehicle, which will cause communication conflicts and system malfunctions in your car. Our service ensures the replacement module is a perfect digital match for your specific vehicle.
What is your core policy?
We do not require a core deposit because we require your original module to perform the cloning service. Your original, non-working module will always be returned to you along with the programmed replacement.
Is this a guaranteed fix for my vehicle’s problems?
This module will fix any issues directly caused by a faulty BCM. It’s crucial to properly diagnose the problem first, as similar symptoms can sometimes be caused by wiring or other components. This is a reliable fix for a confirmed BCM failure.
