Restore Full Functionality to Your 2010 GMC Yukon
Are you chasing bizarre electrical issues in your 2010 GMC Yukon? One minute the power windows work, the next they don’t. Maybe the security light is flashing for no reason, or your dash lights are flickering like a haunted house. Before you spend another frustrating weekend tracing wires, consider the heart of your vehicle’s electronics: the Body Control Module (BCM). This isn’t just a simple fuse box; it’s the central command center for all your vehicle’s comfort and convenience features. When it fails, it can cause a cascade of confusing and intermittent problems.
As a technician with over two decades of experience, I’ve seen how a faulty BCM can make a perfectly good truck feel unreliable. That’s why we offer this direct-fit Body Control Module, part number 25847589, complete with our professional cloning service. This isn’t a generic, off-the-shelf part. We take the essential data from your original BCM and transfer it directly to this replacement unit. The result? A true plug-and-play solution that restores your Yukon’s electronics without a costly trip to the dealership for programming. Simply provide your VIN after purchase, and we’ll handle the rest, ensuring the module arrives ready for installation.
A Technician’s Notebook: The Intermittent Fault Fiasco
I remember a 2010 Yukon that came into my bay with a laundry list of complaints from the owner. The radio would randomly shut off, the driver’s side power lock was possessed, and the anti-theft light would stay on, sometimes preventing the truck from starting. The owner had already replaced the battery and checked all the fuses. A scan showed a handful of U-codes (communication errors), pointing to a network issue. Instead of a wiring problem, the culprit was the BCM itself. Internal corrosion on the circuit board was causing intermittent shorts, disrupting communication across the entire vehicle. Swapping in a cloned 2010 Yukon Body Control Module solved every single issue instantly. It’s a classic case where the symptoms seem scattered, but the root cause is singular and central.
Common Signs of a Failing BCM
A failing BCM can manifest in numerous ways. If you’re experiencing any of the following, your Body Control Module is the likely culprit. Keep an eye out for communication-related Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) like U0140, U0155, or U0164.
- ✔ Power windows, door locks, or mirrors operating erratically or not at all.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights flickering, staying on, or not turning on.
- ✔ The security system acting up, causing no-start conditions or a constantly flashing security light.
- ✔ Horn sounding unexpectedly or not working when pressed.
- ✔ Wipers activating on their own or not responding to the switch.
- ✔ Inaccurate or non-functional gauges on the instrument cluster.
- ✔ Multiple warning lights on the dash with no other apparent cause.
Your Straightforward BCM Swap Guide
Thanks to our cloning service, installing your new 2010 Yukon Body Control Module is a job most DIYers can handle. No special programming tools are required for the initial setup.
- Safety First: Always 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 your 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 need to be depressed. Once disconnected, unbolt or unclip the module from its mounting bracket.
- Install the New Module: Mount the new, pre-programmed BCM in the same location and securely plug in all the electrical connectors. You’ll 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: lights, locks, windows, wipers, etc., to confirm the repair.
Important Post-Installation Notes: In some cases, additional steps may be needed. If your airbag light is on, a professional scan tool is required for the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. Similarly, a ‘Brake Pedal Position Relearn’ might be necessary. Always refer to a service manual for your specific vehicle if you are unsure.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a ‘Cloning Service’?
Cloning is the process where we transfer the vehicle-specific software, security information, and option configuration from your original BCM to the replacement unit. This makes the new module a perfect electronic match for your vehicle, eliminating the need for expensive dealer programming.
Do I need to send my original BCM to you?
Yes. For our cloning service to work, you must send us your original Body Control Module after you complete your purchase. We will perform the service and ship both your original and the ready-to-install replacement back to you.
Is this a guaranteed fix for my vehicle’s electrical problems?
This part resolves issues directly caused by a faulty BCM. While the symptoms listed are very common for BCM failure, we always recommend a proper diagnosis by a qualified mechanic to confirm the BCM is the root cause before ordering.
What if my airbag light comes on after installation?
This can happen occasionally. It means the new BCM needs to be electronically ‘introduced’ to the airbag’s computer (SDM). This requires a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure with a bi-directional scan tool, which most professional repair shops can perform.
What is your policy on the old part (core)?
We do not require your old module as a core. We perform the cloning service and then return your original module to you along with the newly programmed replacement. You get to keep both.
